Lifestyle and diversification of risk play major roles in investment strategy. The four main strategies with buying individual properties are CORE, CORE Plus, Value-add, and, opportunistic. Each has benefits and at the same time risks. Real estate investment planning starts with the goals and objectives of the investor.

Performance and investment analysis of your real estate investment. 

What is the return on a real estate investment? That depends on the methods used. Performance measurements are typically used and focus on an annual snap-shot typically the first year of ownership. These are useful, however, a detailed financial analysis, on both before and after income taxes basis should be complete to get a true understanding of your investment returns. The impact of financing, equity returns, should also be considered.

The Exit Strategy - Disposition Analysis 

Five Options that you should consider with the sale of real estate

One of the most difficult investment decisions is when and how to dispose of a real estate investment. For many of our clients, a 1031 exchange is not the best option.  Our five-point approach focuses on advanced financial analysis around the concept of the accumulation of wealth. Most of our clients invest in real estate for the accumulation of wealth which is more important than cash flow. We consider all five options with the disposition analysis including continuing to own the property as-is.
