For some reason, many novice buy-to-let investors will see the 'perfect' property early on in their buying career, but which is far too much of a project either in terms of size, renovation, or financial commitment. Try to plan for a worst-case scenario at the beginning, so that you can make sure you will not be over-extended from the outset. If you are forced to try to catch up as soon as you start to establish your fledgling property portfolio, it will be stressful and will compromise your ability to make purchases in the future.
Additionally, at the beginning of your property portfolio, it is inevitable that you will make some mistakes. By simple mechanics, it is easier to recover from those mistakes on smaller projects than on large ones.
