Expert Tips For Investing In Multifamily Real Estate Properties

Investors are usually wary of investing in multifamily real estate...

Your investing strategy is what sets you apart from everyone else - based on how thorough, yet quick your assessment of a deal is, you'll get to filter through multiple real estate properties listed for sale. The first thing you have to do when presented with an option to invest is to gather information or run a preliminary analysis on that deal.

Important information in any deal includes; the listing price, the number of units, rental prices for each unit, location, etc. With this data, you'll be able to calculate a rough estimate for mortgage payments, maintenance costs per year and also determine your ROI (although this number is subjected to change).

An Overview of Core, Core Plus, Value-Add and Opportunistic Investments

If you spend any time around commercial real estate...

If you spend any time around commercial real estate, you’re bound to hear the terms core, core plus, value-add and opportunistic real estate thrown around. These terms are used to define the level of risk and return potential of an investment property. Not only are the physical attributes of the property used to define an investment but the amount of debt financing to support the project is also imperative.

To explain why the debt financing has such an important role, I find it easy to understand if you look at a single-family property. If a property has a long-term lease in place, it can sound attractive to a conservative investor who wants to play it safe. However, if the same property has been primarily financed through debt with very little equity, it can paint a very different picture. Should the property value decrease, the owner could end up owing more on the property than it’s worth.

As a commercial real estate investor, you should know about each of these terms. Let us take you through them one by one to help you understand them better.
