A practical place to start
Buying rentals while working full-time is mostly a sequencing problem. Choose a clear strategy, narrow the market, define the numbers a property must meet, and build a repeatable process for offers and due diligence.
The framework
Use the same sequence every time
- 01
Choose the strategy
Decide what kind of property, involvement, and risk fit your time, capital, and goals.
- 02
Narrow the search
Use a small set of market and property criteria so every listing is judged consistently.
- 03
Underwrite before emotion
Set your return, financing, and operating assumptions before making an offer.
- 04
Run a repeatable close
Use the same due-diligence, negotiation, and closing checklist for every serious deal.
