Imagine this, you’re out viewing properties, you’re going to view this property, maybe you’re thinking it’ll make a nice flip or perhaps it’s even going to be serviced accommodation or holiday let, I don’t know, it doesn’t really matter.
When we’re viewing properties this is usually what happens. We’ll go to the property, we’ll go in through the front door, we’ll have a look around, we’ll come out of the front door, and then we’ll go home.
But, there’s a much better way that we should be doing it if we are property investors, and I suggest that we should do what I call an inspection.
Now, I’m not saying we do our own survey, but we should do an inspection which means that we’re looking at the property through the eyes of a property investor and not just through the eyes of a potential purchaser.
Let me explain what I mean…
