Buying real estate is possibly one of the safest ways to invest money since the common thing is that a house or lot will be revalued over time. However, the choice of the property in which the investment will be placed may be based on beliefs that could be wrong or previous good experiences that may not be repeated.

5 common mistakes

• Location:
  The location is the most important factor when making an investment in a commercial premises, a house or a multi-family apartment. The most important thing for the investor is that the property be occupied as soon as possible. So, it is important to study the area before making the investment. Avoiding a location with high competition or considering the availability of basic services are points that are often omitted.
  
  

• Believe it will repeat:
  Real estate investment is directly affected by many factors, if a very similar or equal investment is made it does not mean that the same result will be obtained. Revaluations may be affected by the security of the area, state policies and the country’s economy. It is known that, after a series of years with revaluations, it reaches a peak and then begins to reduce this phenomenon.
  
  

• Associate luxury assets with security:
  It is true that these properties are desired but, as we saw earlier, it depends on many factors of the moment. After a crisis at the country level, the places with the best position are those that gain surplus value from foreign investment for example. It is important to understand at what moment of the property you are and with this assess whether it is worth the investment risk.
  
  

• Underestimate the maintenance cost:
  Estimating the cost of maintenance can be like sailing blindly in some cases. The age of a building and its extension can be a good indicator of the subsequent maintenance cost. A newly built small house, the same size as a 40-year-old house, may require less maintenance than the 40-year-old house that it is at the end of its useful life. In addition, very possibly the old house does not have plans, which makes it difficult to rehabilitate a pipe or the electrical system.
  
  

• Make emotional decisions:
  Finally, like any investment, it is an important decision to make. However, these decisions may be disoriented by the heat of a successful transaction. The euphoria of good business extends more than a few days and can lead the investor to be more optimistic, ignoring previous precautions.
