The real estate market changes all the time, but if you know what to look for you can protect yourself from the downside and position yourself to make a profit. At Murk Investments, we wanted to share some tips on finding real estate that will be successful investments.
Search for properties that have zoning opportunities. Cities and Counties provide free maps with overlays online.

Setup a search on the MLS or an MLS syndicated website. Get immediate alerts when the specific type of property you are looking for hits the market.

Look at recent historical price data for properties in the San Diego area. Pay attention to the curve of the property market cycle to see if prices are rising, falling, or reaching a peak.

Where are other developers building? Traditionally this can be a positive sign, meaning the neighborhood is growing and attracting new homeowners. You may be able to find a deal nearby.

Know the market and have more than one exit strategy. If and when the market corrects you want to be able to protect your investment.

Set a price and budget that you are comfortable with. Do not over extend yourself to reach for a profit. Be sure to factor in taxes such as capital gains to your profits.

Understand the pros and cons of a long-term hold versus a quick flip. One option may not be feasible.

This list is very simple and brief. We hope it gives you some thought when evaluating real estate investments.
