Upfront
The cost of the property is your first consideration. Your monthly payments must be calibrated to the overall ratio of rental income to costs of financing your purchase.
Supply '
We recommend that you understand the supply of renters in the neighborhood you are considering. In a vacation area, make sure that the influx of visitors is steady throughout the year. For predictable, long-term rentals, you will need to attract a tenant base of income earners.
Ask yourself whether the area under consideration is home to high-income professionals looking for amenities or is it home to lower-income workers in need of economical living quarters? Either may do, as long as the property you are considering matches the needs of the local market.

How Handy Are You?
Unless you are able and willing to make repairs yourself to a fixer-upper, avoid properties that will eat up your profits in materials, professional services and sweat equity.
