Most investors have three goals in mind when investing in real estate:
-
Capital Preservation
-
Multi-source Income
-
Minimizing Taxes
Shelter is a basic human need. Most people will give up their extras long before they will give up the roof over their head. Therefore, people will find a way to pay their rent before other thinks. Also, in most markets eviction rates are lower than 2% of renters. Using a professional property management company will help keep eviction and vacancy rates low.
-
Capital Preservation.
Keeping your investment properties in good condition and updated will bring top rental dollars and perverse the its value. At present, SFR are at premium for both homes available for sale and for rent. This makes it an ideal time to invest in investment properties, either new construction, or a home that needs some rehabilitation.
-
Multi-source Income
Quad-plexes or larger homes will provide a better return on investment that SFR. Because you have four or more units in one building producing income. However, some SFR will produce double digits returns, based on the size and location of the property.
-
Minimizing Taxes.
Real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged investment available to us. Depreciation is currently a tax code gift that allows many investors to take their cash flow tax-free. In addition, there are several strategies in the tax code that allows an investor to either recognize their equity tax free or defer the tax liability into the future.
In the Orlando market, professional management will cost between 8-10% of the monthly rent. If you have a completely renovated house and a strong lease with the tenant paying the first $200 in repair costs outside of large capital expenditures (roof, electrical, etc.) you will have a quality investment that will not cost you much. With single family homes, you should plan on large capital expenditures every 7-8 years. At Real Property Management Freedom, we recommend that you should set aside money in a reserve account for these inevitable expenditures.
