🏡 Buying a Property? The First 15 Minutes Can Tell You a Lot.
Most buyers walk into a property and focus on the kitchen, bathrooms and fresh paint.
But some of the most important things to look for aren't always obvious.
Before getting emotionally attached to a property, check:

✅ Floor plan, natural light and ventilation
✅ Signs of water damage, cracks or poor drainage
✅ Potential maintenance and renovation costs
✅ Rental appeal and whether it suits your investment strategy
After more than 20 years in property investing, one thing I've learnt is that a property can look fantastic on the surface and still be a poor investment.
