Apply your strategy to come up with a short-list

There is no one best way to find potential investment properties. Some people apply their strategy to every property they can find to see what filters through. Others look at houses seemingly at random to see if they fit their strategy.

I believe as discussed in my book Real Estate Riches that on average you have to look at 100 properties to find 10 that you might want to put offers in on. All 10 offers would not normally be accepted; maybe only three get accepted. Then you have to arrange finance, and you may only get finance for one of the properties. In this case you will have looked at 100 properties to acquire one. Real estate is a numbers game. While looking at 100 properties to find one to buy, it may seem as though you'll never find a good one. However, don't give up! Power on through.
