The critical variables with Investments in Residential Real Estate are:
- Cash Flow should be positive or neutral using rents minus expenses projections.
- Security by investing in the housing stock is very high, with an overall shortage of homes.
- Leverage is 25% down with a quick and easy loan to realize 100% of the appreciation.
- Risk is reduced with diversity and number of units owned; better a duplex than a single-family house.
- ROI is not about curb appeal nor pride of ownership; instead, it’s in market rents attainable.
- Liquidity is the ability to sell residential properties simply and quickly without too high a cost.
- Trends show an ongoing shortage of homes in the SF Bay Area with higher rents and sales prices.
- Tax benefits of real estate investments are unique, and the gains can be exchanged.
- Property Condition determines a fixer/flipper, a renovation project, or a renter-ready home.
