Buying rental property at the Lake of the Ozarks can be pretty enticing when you think about the monthly income you can receive. Not only will you gain a monthly income, by investing in real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks you can potentially see gains from appreciation to the property. While rental property is a great investment, you will want to be sure that you take the necessary steps to ensure you make the right investment that will, in turn, make you money in the future instead of causing you to take a loss. Today, our team of real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks have some steps to consider when buying rental property at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Understand Your Investment

When you find the property you intend to buy, it's important to understand the condition of the building and the surrounding area. We encourage professional inspections prior to finalizing the investment. You'll most likely have a budget for repairs and maintenance; communicate your price range to your agent, this will ensure additional funds will be available in the case upgrades are needed before your first rental customers are booked.

If you're interested in purchasing at the Lake of the Ozarks, it may be because you already own property in the area, or have visited and understood the amazing opportunity the community boasts. You'll want to know all the best the community and lake area has to offer, and your knowledgeable Fran Campbell Team agent is here to introduce you to all the great places and things to do!

Evaluate Your Options

As you look at properties with Fran Campbell Team, consider your Lake of the Ozarks options - you'll have many! From the location and style of building, to how you plan to use the property personally. We want you to be happy with your decision. Buying a property in a good location is one of the best ways to ensure the steady flow of rental income and help you and your family utilize the best of what your investment has to offer.


Purchase With A Plan

There are several questions to ask yourself before you invest in real estate. Will you want to use the property part of the year? Vacation rentals are enticing on many levels, though considering how often you will use them during the "off-season" may affect your potential rental income. Do you want to invest in a house or a condominium? The type of property you intend to invest in will affect your monthly maintenance budget. Your agent at Fran Campbell Team will be your guide as you decide the best location and type of property to invest in.

Before you look at properties, sit down with a mortgage lender to see how you qualify for a loan. Being pre-approved for the investment ensures that you have enough capital and having backup funds is important as well, in the case that the property produces less income than you expected.

Get Insurance

Proper insurance includes insurance on the structure itself as well as liability insurance, in case someone is injured while on the premises. You will want to have the right types of insurance with sufficient coverage to protect your investment. Having this information right out of the gate will give you peace of mind going forward with the legal aspects of renting a property.

Don't Forget: You're In Business

Buying a rental property is essentially going into business for yourself. As you look at properties with your agent, do your research. Find out what the property's financial expectations will be, such as: mortgage estimate, maintenance, taxes and other fees like assessments. Will the purchase need repairs? You want to be successful immediately, and we want to help you start strong!

Buying rental property can be overwhelming but when you hire the Fran Campbell Team to assist in the buying process, we can help give you insights to help you achieve your investment goals. Consider these tips when investing in rental property and don't forget to give the best real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks a call to help find the perfect rental property for you!
