WHY MULTIFAMILY REAL ESTATE
Strong Passive Income - We find deals that provide great cash flow with an above average return for our investors & partners .
Equity Buildup - Rental income is paying off the mortgage principal and increasing our equity as we hold the property. We may be able to cash this equity out either through a refinance or sale of the property, further boosting returns.
Value Creation - We add more value by increasing the income or NOI (Net Operating Income) of the property. We find properties where we can increase rents, decrease operating expenses, and implement capital improvements to further increase the value when we sell or refinance. The total returns in combination with Cash Flow & Equity Growth, can provide above average Cash-on-Cash returns annually.
Potential for Appreciation - If purchased in a location that appreciates over time, this will also further our return. Since local appreciation can be more speculative, any benefit from this is simply an added bonus.
Tax Benefits - You can get tax advantages in real estate that you could not get with stocks. First, you get a deduction on the property depreciation. Depreciation is not a real cash expense. However, it can be used to deduct from your tax bill on real income. Second, when you sell the property, you can do a 1031 exchange and defer paying capital gains indefinitely if you continue to buy other property.
Use Your IRA or 401K to Invest - Called a Self-Directed IRA. It allows alternative investments (ie. Real estate) for your retirement savings. This is a great way to diversify your retirement portfolio with real estate investing.
Favorable Market Trends - The U.S. market is shifting in favor of renting versus owning a home. Millennials are driving much of this change as they look for affordability, convenience, and freedom. On the other end of the spectrum, Baby Boomers are nearing retirement and will likely look to the rental market for downsizing and convenience.
Recession Resilience - Historically, the Multifamily space in one of the most recession resistant and most forgiving of all asset classes in an economic downturn.
OUR
STRATEGY
APARTMENTS
Multifamily properties historically maintain a structurally lower vacancy rate than other product types and generally exhibit greater resiliency in holding their values during market downturns. Demand can still increase for apartments in economic downturns when homeowners turn to renting to preserve capital and renters cannot afford to buy. Lenders offer superior terms due to investor familiarity with this asset type, and there is a wider availability of financing options.
The relatively high turn-over of apartment units (vs. office buildings, commercial space and single family homes) allows us to continually improve the assets as tenants move, increasing rents and therefore increasing value.
EMERGING MARKETS
We explore and focus on opportunities in Emerging Markets, where jobs and local economies are expanding. We follow jobs!
Characteristics:
-
People migrating in, rather than leaving a geographic area
-
Jobs being created rather than lost
-
Rents and property values quickly rising
-
Strong, local government leadership dedicated to attracting jobs
-
Markets beginning to absorb oversupply
There are many indicators and a lot of research that goes into identifying an emerging market in the US. We start out by performing thorough market research that includes the following areas:
-
Job Growth Report (local & regional)
-
Population Growth
-
Path of Progress Reports
-
Local Economic Reports & Trends
-
Chamber of Commerce Reports
ACQUISITION PRACTICES
We take pride in building relationships with local listing brokers to get their “pocket listings” and access to other Bank Owned Properties (REO). Our searches include soliciting owners directly instead of waiting for properties to come to market.
Candidate assets undergo a thorough due diligence process to confirm the physical and legal status of the property and to confirm valuations to ensure achievable investment strategies.
Early in the asset evaluation phase, the debt and equity financing strategy is developed based on a number of factors such as property type, magnitude of renovations, expected hold period and investor objectives.
Well-located assets purchased below replacement cost assist in attaining appreciated asset goals.
INVESTMENT DISCIPLINE
Product selection involves a systematic, routine evaluation to identify favorable demand characteristics, i.e., job and population growth, demographic shifts, supply absorption rates and positive local legislation.
Markets with supply constraints receive most favorable underwriting. Markets with signs of oversupply such as surplus land, changes in zoning and increases in building permits are avoided.
