PROPERTIES Finding properties is one of the biggest challenges that investors face. After all, the market value of an area is not set it stone. In order to understand if something will pay you back, you need to know the area.

LOCATION SCOUTING You can now know about an area and what kind of demographics it has easier than before. First of all, with online maps, you can scout it on your laptop.

Secondly, people on the ground can be hired to walk around and film with a drone to capture video so you can really get the feel for the location.

SALES TRENDS You can look into the local economies of locations that you are considering.

See how their local businesses have been doing in recent months with sales. In addition, find out the employment rates to make sure there is an economy that is healthy enough to support the investment you are looking to make before just jumping in without the information.

FUNDING You might have the best information in the world, but you still need funding to get that property. Therefore, raising capital has always been a burden to investors. Thanks to technology, there are new options, however.
