#1. Strong House, Cosmetic Upgrades Only

Unless you’re handy, or have a lot of experience, you may not want to invest in a house that requires a lot of effort to get it ready to rent. After all, every day that you delay renting is a day that you don’t get the cash flow you desire. A strong, well-built house that is free of problems and only needs cosmetic upgrades is a great place to start. Yes, you might pay a little more up-front for this kind of property but you’ll save time and money afterward in getting it ready to rent.

While you might want to spend a little more for a house that is already in good condition, you’ll still want to make sure that it’s affordable. In the Cape Coral area and other nearby Cities such as Fort Myers or Fort Myers beach, there’s a mix of properties – some are affordable and others are not.
