Residential properties are very different from commercial locations. Heck, single family homes are nothing like duplexes, and duplexes are nothing like apartments! If you are trying to evaluate a single-family home the same way you would an apartment, you are on the path to disappointment. Don’t be that guy.
You need to understand these ever changing wants and needs in this market before you decide to do anything. With a rise in popularity of residential rentals, comes an increase in the noise and distraction with conflicting and often inaccurate information and advice.
If you don’t understand the difference in your future tenant’s needs between a single-family home, a studio apartment, or a 3 bedroom penthouse, you are in for a rude awakening. In addition to different demands and trends in each geographic location or neighborhood, there are also significantly different demands and trends for each type of structure and even the condition of the property! You need a thorough understanding of your project, in order for true success.
We have handled investment properties for nearly two decades, have created (and then sold) a successful property management company, and work daily with tenants and owners to ensure the best performance of their properties.
Should you buy? Should you sell? Should you raise rents and hold on a bit longer? We will help you navigate these difficult decisions and show you how to stay focused in a sea of noise and media. Remember, the focus is on your future and building wealth. Make sure your investment adds to your portfolio and doesn’t just drag it down.
