For this week, let’s talk about the best investment strategies to use and how you can generate the best results for your bottom line!

Financing

First-time investors get easily overwhelmed when it comes to financing the acquisition of an apartment complex. Such a property already makes for a costly investment, which means you will have to raise a large amount of money to afford it.

There are several ways you can do this:

Shopping for a Multifamily Property

When you’re looking around for a great investment property, start your search in markets that have consistent rent growth. Here’s a good list of the top 100 markets with the highest rents from Investors’ Business Daily:

However, first-time investors will have to be extra cautious when searching for emerging markets. High rents are just one of many factors that affecting cash flow, which also means that there are added risks for investors to consider.

As a general rule, opt to start out small. You might want to find a property that won’t entail too much of a loss on your part, so anything that’s less than 10 units is considered a safe investment. The trick here is to be aware of your own limitations and not let emotions inform your decision in purchasing a multifamily asset.

Effective Property Management

Property management is crucial to maintaining healthy cash flow. Improving the experience of your tenants raises their satisfaction and, hence, keeps your vacancy rate low.

Effective property management comes in many different forms:

Warm client relations:

Make sure you forge healthy relationships with your clients by keeping your property managers open to concerns and questions.

Additional amenities:

Make sure you align the property with the lifestyles of your tenants. Consider improvements along the lines of fitness centers, pet-friendly facilities, and co-working spaces for freelancers.

Prompt repairs and improvements:

Keep constant tabs on the condition of the property. The slightest issues can turn off potential clients, so make sure you repair any leaks and other structural issues that could decrease the property’s value and make it harder for you to sell to potential renters.

Using the right strategies will help you achieve better cash flow. If you want more tips on how you can build your commercial real estate investment portfolio, Estatserve is here to give everything you need! Contact us to learn more!
