7 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying an Investment Property

Property can be one of the most rewarding investments, but small mistakes can cost investors thousands. Here are seven of the most common mistakes we see—and how to avoid them.

### Mistake #1: Buying Without a Strategy
Jumping in without a plan is like setting sail without a compass.

### Mistake #2: Ignoring Location Growth
A beautiful property in the wrong location won’t deliver returns.

### Mistake #3: Underestimating Costs & Maintenance
Older properties often hide expensive surprises.

### Mistake #4: Forgetting Tax Benefits
Not all properties offer the same tax incentives—new builds usually provide better opportunities.

### Mistake #5: Following the Herd
By the time the masses buy, the best gains are gone.

### Mistake #6: Waiting Too Long to Act
Procrastination costs more than mistakes. Every month of delay is lost growth.

### Mistake #7: Not Working with an Expert
DIY investing often leads to missed opportunities and costly errors.

### Conclusion
Avoid these mistakes by working with a partner who understands the market.
