Help! My apartment is a money pit! The ship is sinking! Is this where you are today? Negative cash flowing apartments are what we call underperforming investments. It is so easy to get in this position, but it takes twice as long and hard to get out. We know because we’ve been there ourselves. Since then, we’ve helped others rescue their investments and bring them back to full health.
Turning around underperforming properties is much like going to the doctor. It’s actually a five-step process: One, observe the problem. Two, run tests and gather info. Three, evaluate the results. Four, diagnose the problems and make conclusions. And Five, recommend treatment. Makes sense? Let us help you go from cents to dollars in any market or property condition.
The Apartment Consultant has years of experience of advising clients of apartment acquisitions as well as taking the lead on either your first investment or your 10th. Let us show you how it’s done. It all starts with having the right team in place. Then comes the invaluable industry relationships that leverage speed and accuracy. Next is, the due diligence process where all the facts and figures are examined along with timing of the purchase in the marketplace. Now, the all-critical management piece comes into play at this point. Do we hire a third-party manager for this project? If so, where do we begin this process? During all this, you’ll have to measure precisely how you are going to maximize the return for your investment. How much fix-up, if any, how much will it cost, and which capital improvement do I do first? And finally, all of this work is done to make an excellent profit in the end - your exit strategy. You should have more than one at one time and typically those are either: refinancing, selling, or holding for cash flow returns. Let us consult with you or take the lead – your choice!
Nothing is more profitable than acquiring an empty or half-filled apartment building cheaply, fixing it up, filling it with paying tenants, maximizing the income, controlling the expenses and reaping the benefits of phenomenal cash-flows and huge net worth. The Apartment Consultant currently has 493 units under this scenario as we speak. <Click here to see two projects underway.> The Apartment Consultant services includes helping you identify such properties, how to acquire them, how to finance them, how to perform due diligence, how to manage them through professional property management, and how to design razor-sharp exit strategies to make the most profits from them. We consult only on what we do in real life.
Purchasing small or large apartments requires a lot of double and triple checking of the financial numbers, it requires a detailed physical inspection, and it requires a nit-picking legal inspection. This area of expertise and service is how The Apartment Consultant got started years ago. The Apartment Consultant offers it due diligence thoroughness and attention to detail for your next potential investment. We’ll consult and advise you on all areas of this critical part of investment decision-making. We pride ourselves in giving you more than enough information to either confidently move forward in the deal or to pull the plug. Nothing fancy here, just the facts.
The Apartment Consultant advises many clients on their next investment move. Whether its refinance, sell off part of the portfolio, restructure debt, or repositioning, it takes knowledge, know-how, and market-timing to maximize the value of your portfolio and reach your goals
