One of the most common mistakes a novice makes is being pessimistic or closed minded even before things start. There may be a learning curve in the beginning and you may need to make certain mind adjustments. For example, the approach to purchasing a home to live in can be very different than the approached used to purchase an investment property. Nevertheless, keeping an open mind will allow you to see opportunities that may not have been immediately apparent.

Before purchasing any investment property it is important to have a future exit strategy. What is your goal for the investment. Will the property be a long term investment? Or would you prefer to make repairs and immediately re-sell. Always start with the end in mind.
