Okay, i just got a job and am about to graduate from college. I want to invest some of my money in real estate either in the states or anywhere around the world. I was wondering if people new where to look to find information on good locations to buy land or invest in property. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sulav

One of your very first investments should be to buy a home for yourself before you start buying rental property. Buying your own home is easier to finance than investment property. Some mortgage companies don't like to finance properties for investor who don't own their primary residence.

Purchase a 4 plex with your first purchase and live in one of the units this will allow for you to start your investment portfolio using a owner occupied mortgage. The best thing to do in deciding what areas to buy property in is to google (mls, such and such city) then do property searches and get a good idea of property prices and rental prices for property. If you find a city that you can make a purchase were the mothly rents are 1% or more of the sales price then this is a good area for a begining investor to invest. A property with these characteristics will most likely cash flow every month for you. A good website for this is www.HAR.com Good luck and I hope this helped.

it depends on which country or location do you want to invest,try to look for the most comfortable homes.

First of all, i wouldn't really go with a company from the internet, since everyone we be bias about what they are trying to push on you as a sale.

Its going to take some work on your part or else you will get duped quick. You said you are about to finish up college, well learning the right areas to invest will be like a second education if you want to do it right.

You are going to have to look at trends so you can narrow your search down. Then to which market has the best job stablitily, how many people are tenant compared to owners and the available homes to the tenants.

I hope you get where i am going. It won't be something you can put together fast but if you plan and work towards your goal you will be ok.
