before starting

#starter of the week Avi Baram #post2
I'll start by saying and writing my opinion, what guides my way, you? Do what you think is right.
There are those who will say: "What does he even understand", so they are right. Because I don't understand, I am very careful, taking baby steps and learning. Indeed, I learned, and a lot.
First tip:
Are you going to invest? Don't run and listen to everything they try to sell you,
You are going to invest a lot of money! Risk a lot! Your first investment will be the best investment! Investment in the knowledge of the area.
About 2500 or 3000 dollars, if you came from the country, and much less if from the rest of the US.
Take a week off, or more, buy a plane ticket and travel to the country and city where you are thinking of investing, ask your lender or your realtor to take you on a tour, take a map (print from Google) and see the properties in the area, the area, the nearby neighborhoods, and write down points Score for your review.
I will not exaggerate and say, "See if there is a house at all".
After that, when you got a minimum understanding, you will realize that "Zillow" is your best friend to understand and compare, there is an address, there is Google maps and walking in the street and the neighborhood. Suddenly your drawings get a background and colors. Because the site reflects the movement in real estate at almost any given moment.
I will not talk if no one before has physically visited the area and when I talk to him, he will understand what I am talking about.
You will meet with the broker and lender who will accompany you, we will talk about lender later. (No, I'm not a lender).
Check and compare stories to reality, a broker wants to sell, get a commission, the higher the price, the higher his commission, the lender doesn't care about the price, he will try to get you the best price, the best deal.
Very important! Trust your intuitions, are you worried? Doubt? Is something wrong with you? Do not make a deal, the next deal will come, this is the order of the world.
I can't say "don't trust anyone" because that's not true, but don't trust easily, and once again, a good and reliable lender is worth its fee. And with him you will want to go to the next deal.
Check if you are ready in terms of a local bank, if you live outside the US.
Then you are ready to continue, see you in post number 3.
