Real Estate buying tips for foreign investors

Buying real estate whether for investment, renting or trading, follow these recommendations for better decision making and minimize the risk of investing:

1. Always calculate the return on rent before investing

In case you plan to buy to make profit from renting, always compare the return on rent per year with the interest that you will receive from the bank, e.g. 12 months fixed deposit and gather more information about the price of real estate in the same location in addition before you compare to find out which option is the more profitable one. Please note that apart from the selling price, there will also be other expenses such as interior decorations and common fees. Therefore, all costs must be considered before making the decision to invest. In addition, you will need to further research the return on rent, resell and choosing the best location for the room to maximize the chance of finding a rentee.

2. Visit the location

Location is a very important factor especially in cases where owners would like to resell. Before making the decision, one must be sure that the real estate about to be bought is situated on a great location and the valuation is likely to keep growing in the future as that means the real estate that you have invested in will also grow in value. The trend of cost appraisal can be checked from the treasury department. The other way is to look at the public transport available or about to be built in that area, such as BTS and MRT. Busy shops are also a good sign for investing near that location.

3. Evaluate the quality of the real estate project

Apart from the location factor, the quality of the project is important, the credibility of the developer and facilities of the real estate property is what the investor should pay attention to. A great real estate property must have the facilities that meet the needs and lifestyle of the customers, such as security systems, fitting environment, etc. It is very common to see many real estate developers today, especially condominiums emphasizing the common area in advertisements and public relations, including swimming pools, library, fitness, green space, in order to attract customers and investors.
We can now see that there are many options and factors to take into consideration in order to make the most out of your real estate investment. The knowledge of the asset that you are planning to invest in is not only beneficial for real estate investment but in all types of investment.
