Approach a pre-construction condo that you have learned about with three, highly focused bits of criteria:

  • The developer…who is it?
  • The location…it is premium or prime with loads of potential?
  • The value…do your homework on the area!

These three pieces of criteria will save any investor money, time and effort before and after the investment. Investors want to maximize on the investment at the time of resale and to help you along is a savvy breakdown of each of the golden keys.
Believe it or not, this three-part information bits is nothing new…real estate agents have applied this savvy logic for many years, kind of like realty 101 for beginners.
If your intention is to rent any or all the condo units you buy, then you will have a steady stream of income, depending on your ability to pick the best preconstruction assigment condos. More and more people want to obtain the ‘work, live & play’ urbanistic life, so newer developments that incorporate this ideal will most likely benefit and pique the interest of the future buyer.
