If you're thinking about investing in a rental property, low interest rates make this the time to get off the sidelines! Some people will try to discourage you from the start with "you need money to invest in real estate!" You do need a down payment - but your tenants are the one's that are going to keep the ball rolling. Make sure to have a strong lease agreement and do your due diligence to protect yourself against destructive tenants or those that don't want to pay. It's all a matter of protecting yourself beforehand. Also, don't let anyone tell you that the economy will bring you down. In fact, right now is a great time to buy investment property - take advantage of the unrest in many parts of the world that are keeping interest rates low. Do your homework and you will be thrilled with the profits you can make.
