Real Estate Investment Las Vegas | Buy and Hold Real Estate Strategy Las Vegas California

Likely, no one would argue that Las Vegas NV real estate investment isn’t the greatest vehicle for leveraging wealth. That’s why I am in the business. However, there are various facets of Real Estate Investing where you will likely see your assets grow most significantly.

Buy and Hold Real Estate Investment Strategy.
The buy and hold strategy is for true, fairly passive real estate investors with an understanding of long term cycles in the housing markets. By monitoring supply and demand, this investor knows that the time to buy is at the end of a buyer’s market, when the glut of supply is moving towards balance, but before the market has realized it and values are low. Conversely, the buy and hold real estate investor knows that the time to sell is at the opposite end of the far cycle, when supply is scarce and properties are trading higher than replacement cost values.
Keys to Identifying a Good Buy and Hold Housing Market
There are three fundamental rules that must be true for the real estate buy and hold strategy to work. They are not difficult to understand, but they are mission critical:
Rule #1 — Long term population trends must be rising. For real estate values to rise over the long term, the law of scarcity must exist. Nothing ensures scarcity of homes better than a growing population. There will always be a correlation between population size and home sales (for example, Phoenix, Arizona will see more home sales every year than Two Egg, Florida).
Rule #2 — The cost of construction will continue to rise over time. Much like rule #1, we assume that all of the associated costs of building new homes will rise over time. Considering the large rise in minimum wage last year, you can bet that long term costs will be greatly affected, though not readily seen until a housing market recovery begins to appear.
Rule #3 — Normal rules for supply and demand will dictate value in the housing market. All free markets move this way, but socialism could put a large damper on this. The prudent buy and hold investor never takes his eye off of the political climate, but regionally and nationally.
If you believe these fundamental rules are sound, and you are in the type of market where these rules are readily applicable, then you might make a good candidate for a long term buy and hold strategy.

Real Estate Investment Las Vegas Fix and Flip | Real Estate Strategy Las Vegas
Likely, no one would argue that Las Vegas investment real estate isn’t the greatest vehicle for leveraging wealth. That’s why I am in the business. However, there are various facets of Real Estate Investing where you will likely see your assets grow most significantly.
Most real estate investors struggle with knowing exactly how much, or how little, to spend on their rehab Fix and Flip deals. That’s because if the house isn’t fixed up enough, it won’t sell. And if too many improvements are made the profit margins disappear.
How do you find a happy medium for the right improvements on your fix and flip deal?
Well, start by finding the most recent pending or closed comp for your fix and flip deal. Make sure it’s not a dilapidated Short Sale or bank owned property. Do your best to find a sale that is not distressed. Next, review the MLS listing and pictures for this comparable property and drive by the house. Go inside if possible (if it’s still a pending listing). Make mental notes of what was, and wasn’t done, to the property.
If the intent is to sell your flip for the same sales price or slightly higher than the last comp, then guess what? You need to make identical improvements. If the plan is to sell your flip for significantly higher than the last comp then additional upgrades will be necessary. This can be a risky bet because your fix and flip deal may not appraise high enough.

http://www.reit.com In a video interview with REIT.com at REITWorld 2011: NAREIT’s Annual Convention For All Things REIT in Dallas at the Hilton Anatole hotel, CEO Trevor Bond said that W.P. Carey is invested in about 28 industries at any given time. He said any one of the company’s funds may have 20 or so different industry types represented within it.

“So naturally, as you get ups and downs in the economy, those risks will be buffeted by the spreading out of those risks,” Bond said.

W.P. Carey also views diversity as more complex than usual, according to Bond. He said the company likes to diversify by country, or region within a country, to get the full benefits of relative movements in different economies.

However, he said one of the primary benefits comes in the form of having long term leases. Bond said long term leases take the risk out of the short term swing of its investment.

“With any given dislocation, such as the one we’re currently in, if you have a five to seven year down cycle and we’re signing leases that are 15 to 20 years, we feel comfortable that if we’ve done our homework and evaluated that particular tenant and credit appropriately, as long as they can continue to pay rent we can deliver income to our investors,” he said.

Bond said that the best investment opportunity is in the triple B credits or below. He added that they may be very good companies that experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets at a particular time.

“So we can step in and provide them with credit at a time when they might not be able to get it. We’re seeing quite a lot of that; that’s been our sweet spot,” Bond said.

Bond has also noticed more good credits in secondary markets where there hasn’t been a lot of new construction.

“We are seeing some very good credits that either want to build a new campus or take over existing buildings, or use our funding to renovate it and then occupy that building,” he said.
