The Top Six Rental Property Investment Tips:

1. Invest in properties that are in good areas and have a good rental history.

2. Rent to families, young professionals or couples who are starting out in the world and want to move into a nice house either with or without kids.

3. Make sure you have enough money to cover your mortgage payments and other expenses such as property taxes, maintenance fees and insurance premiums.

4. Make sure you're comfortable with the area you're buying into before making an offer on a property because it could affect your cash flow later on down the line if you decide to sell or rent out your home later on down the line.

5. Consider paying for improvements when buying a rental property such as landscaping, painting and new appliances so that it looks nice for potential tenants when they come looking for their next home!

6. Use an agent (if you don't already have one) so that they can help with finding tenants for your rental properties for free, which will save you time and money in the long run because there aren't any hidden fees involved like other agents may charge their clients when helping them find tenants for their own properties too.

Great rental tips! You should consider this too:
1. Get the right advice

Don't be tempted to go it alone when it comes to property investment. You'll regret it if you do and you'll likely end up losing money.

2. Learn the ropes

It's important to learn as much as possible about your chosen investment property. This will help you make good decisions and avoid making mistakes that could cost you time and money. Ask friends and family for advice, or get a professional financial adviser involved.

3. Don't rush into things

Take your time when buying a rental property, especially if it's your first one, as there can be many factors that need to be taken into consideration before buying anything in this industry (such as finding a tenant). Make sure you're not just jumping into something without knowing all about it first!

4. Look for deals

Rental properties are often more affordable than other house purchases so look around for ways of saving money on them by looking at refurbishment projects or by saving money on renting through shared ownership schemes (which are often offered by local authorities). You might also like to consider residential rents where they are lower because they are less expensive than commercial units but still maintain the same quality of service offered by the landlord.
