Regardless of strategy, market, or property type, every investor should ask three simple questions before making an offer.
## Question 1: What Happens If Everything Doesn’t Go Perfectly?
Many projections assume ideal conditions. Successful investors also evaluate downside scenarios.
What if rents come in lower than expected?
What if repairs cost more than anticipated?
## Question 2: Does This Property Match My Strategy?
A property may be a great investment for one investor and a poor investment for another.
The property should align with your goals, capital, risk tolerance, and timeline.
## Question 3: Have I Verified My Assumptions?
Assumptions drive investment decisions.
Verify rents, expenses, insurance costs, taxes, renovation budgets, and financing terms whenever possible.

Investing is often less about finding hidden secrets and more about consistently making informed decisions.
The investors who ask better questions frequently achieve better results.
