The same scenario is what happens in the U.S.A., which has a much larger market, and is quite vast. Growing cities such as Dallas (Texas) and Atlanta (Georgia) are attracting lots of investors and properties there generally provide good returns.

The potential private landlord encouraged to buy must consider any purchase as a medium to long term investment, ignore extreme personal tastes and avoid property with potential maintenance problems such as a lot of fancy woodwork or an extremely large garden.

Even when prospecting in an area that is well known, the potential landlord must view it through different eyes and take into account common denominators sought by potential tenants in terms of property location, amenities and facilities.

This is where the advice of the experienced agent will show its value.
