Be a planner. Make sure your goals are realistic and create a plan for this year, as well as a five and 10-year plan.
Check your credit. Lenders want to see this score and are looking for a score of at least 700. For Free, you can view your credit on CreditKarma.com.
Look for a lender. Ask our team for lender recommendations. We can give you access to reliable lenders that we have relationships with. It’s our recommendation that you contact a lender before your search for the CRE property even begins, so we can get your financial side of things cleared. You want to know what you can afford, and you want an established relationship with a lender before you’re ready to buy.
Know where to look. Once your finances and price point are set, you can start looking. As experienced real estate brokers in Louisville, we can help you find CRE properties faster that fit what you’re looking for. We have access to databases that are not available to the public. We know what’s going on in the Louisville market.
Learn more. Besides using our expertise, read up on your own about CRE investing, whether from a book or on the internet. You can even take an online course in real estate investing.
Know what to expect. When it comes to return on investment (ROI), it’s about 1% per month of the purchase price, which is considered a health return. Your ROI will depend on the property and location.
