What does your investment process look like?

[Jack Hopkins]

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently researching how technology is influencing property investments, and I was wondering two things:

• If buying a property involves 3 steps - finding properties, verifying that they are right, and closing the deal, how much time do you usually spend on each step?
• If finding a property investment involves 3 subsequent steps - finding flats online, talking to real estate agents, talking to personal leads - how much time do you spend on each?

Thank you for your time!

I tend to look at the economic prospects for a particular area, then look at the more popular types of property in that area and then put together a short list of actual properties to look at. This top down approach seems to work for me.
