Location; An Essential Factor in Real Estate Investment
Samwel Bwire 
Location is a vital factor to be considered when planning to invest in real estate. It plays a great role in determining the graph in the marketplace. That is why properties located near social amenities and lucrative cities, have higher prices than those located in remote areas.
Secure locations also attract people. A place where everyone is safe and comfortable with one another will enhance good neighborhoods hence promoting a peaceful existence and a conducive environment to invest. A place that is insecure because of the skirmishes among the residents or attacks from the outside will debar investors from investing in such places.

The proximity of the place to cities or chances of the area developing in the future in terms of infrastructure and other amenities is key. If the chances are high, the prices of the property will probably appreciate and as a result, profit is going to be gained when sales are made. Investors are, therefore, encouraged to do enough research and reconnaissance either by themselves or using experts in the field of real estate investment to avoid future problems.
Awareness creation should be done by holding conferences or other forums to share insights and trends in real estate. This prepares those willing to invest in real estate to make well-informed decisions.
