If you are a real estate investor, you would be most familiar with the 3 most important factors of property investment "Location, location, location". In Feng Shui, these factors are also significant. Wherever you choose to buy or rent a house, the location is the most important factor.

Location is important, as the external landscape is something that you cannot change. Fortunately, you can enhance or cure the feng shui of your house by changing the interior layout of your house. Sometime, a major renovation is needed and this is going to be expensive and messy. Plus, all the delay and heart-ache of moving into your dream house.
