If you are eager to become a landlord or you think that you have a good lead on an area of the city that would provide some great rental income, here are some tips on how to be successful in the realm of rental property. Investment real estate can be fruitful, but you must choose your property, your agent, and most importantly, your location carefully.

Location, location, location. You have heard it before; real estate is all about location. If you plan on purchasing a multi-family and renting it out for income, you must first find a place with a healthy--and hopefully booming--rental market. College cities and towns can be a great place to buy investment property since some students choose to live off-campus, and still more end up staying at least a year or two in the city where they went to school. Schools with large populations and graduate school programs are particularly good for rental income. Other locations to consider are cities in general (since people want to live close to where they work and close to the exciting city life). Rural communities and suburbs (unless they are very close to public transportation into the city) can be less fruitful.
Get an agent. Though you must do research about the community on your own, rely on an agent to do much of the legwork. Have an agent show you the rentals in town and get a firm grasp on what the market values are for one, two and three bedrooms. Make sure you pay attention to the caliber of renovation in each unit, as a three bedroom with new granite countertops and stainless steel may go for triple the amount of a bigger, but more run-down rental in the same area of town. Your agent will help you find a good rental property and will estimate the amount of income you might be able to generate with it....
