TIP
Always look up when you're viewing a property. Inside, this can reveal things like sagging ceilings and bad peeling in places like the bathroom; outside, it will tell you if the gutters etc look like they need work (whether this is repainting or replacement).
TIP
Feel the fear and do it anyway. Most people are naysayers, and out of the goodness of their hearts, try to discourage you from getting into property investment. However, most people retire to live on their super, a pension, or combination of the two. You don't want to be like most people!! As long as your decisions are informed ones, you'll be in the right ballpark for the kind of retirement most people need to win Lotto to have.
Latest tips i learn was.
1). That often it's paint that is raved about that adds so much value and is cost effective… not taking a hell of a lot of time to do. Paint is undeniably a great tool. But the refreshing ease of watching a skilled driver unload blue metal gravel to form a low maintenance 'total' rear area topped the painting for how quick and easy it is (where blue metal gravel is a good option). Explaining well to the driver that you want to do as little work as possible by leveling and that you want it evenly spread on unloading rather then dumping it in one big heap then working the whole day shoveling is key. And not bad on the hip pocket.
2). I thought the humble Hammer & Saw were two of the most important things to have as tool renovating but the Jimmy bar saved the day many times in lots of different situations.

Great Deals on REO Properties in Raleigh, North Carolina”If anyone is interested in seeing my video on a property renovation I did in 5 weeks. The house was valued at $325K with tenants. It looked an absolute mess. I gave them notice and decided to renovate it. 5 weeks later it sold for $415K. I invested around $20k on reno costs. So my tip is before you sell, think about renovating first. Sometimes new carpet and a splash of paint can add thousands. And always paint with wine!
TIP:
– Always leave feedback or let them give you feedback.
-Always tell your client the truth.
-Always be open minded, learn to accept new things and never be afraid to try new things.Tip
Always be innovative. Think about other opportunities you can gain. May be small modification can increase the value of the property.Tip

Ebay is a fantastic place to buy second hand property investment books and courses at a fraction of their cost!
It's hard to offer a tip or two when I don't have any IP to start. But hopefully my first IP will commence soon.
But thanks for the wonderful posts offered on this thread; very educational.Tips –
1.. It the goal is to BE rich, you can't afford to be focusing on LOOKING rich.
2.. Treat tenants as YOU would like to be treated.
3.. Buy in areas that have more than one type of appeal – e.g. beach-side living, retirement destination.
4.. Build/buy properties that target smaller families – its the future.
5.. Its the land that ultimately has the value, so buy well located or larger blocks.
6.. Our best buys come from watching what hasn't sold, and making a lower offer before the price is reduced.
7.. Be willing to add value. This can give 'instant' equity, or your deposit, so you can go on to buy more.
8.. Look for areas that seem too cheap compared to nearby locations – they probably are!
9.. Ring local property managers before buying. They are a mine of information and generally helpful.
10. Don't discuss property with family or others who are not investing. Find people who are already doing it.
