Insights and News
About value add strategy.
Investors using a value-add real estate investment strategy focus on buying a property that needs renovations and reselling it at a higher price upon completing the improvements. Although the value add real estate investment strategy can be lucrative, investors assume several serious risks, including unfavorable shifts in real estate prices, increasing interest rates, unforeseen property expenses, and legal liabilities.
Therefore, successful value add real estate investors must conduct meticulous research and acquire properties with significant upside value potential once repairs and renovations are complete.
In addition, investors must have a detailed plan and itemized budget for the improvements and other expenses before closing investment transactions. The plan must also include the strategy for selling the property post improvements. Strategy's main goal is capital growth rather than income.
What is a value add real estate investment?
A value-add real estate investment conceptually is like a single-family house flipping project, except investors buy a value add asset at a discounted price and eventually sell the property when it's in much better condition.
The discounted price could stem from multiple sources:
- the property is distressed,
- needing significant repairs,
- or asset is underperforming financially, mostly underperforming cash flow.
While in the investors' possession, the property will undergo physical and operational improvements to boost its value, which will impact the sales asking price. The investors aim to get a higher return on investment (ROI) through renovations, repositioning, and management changes.
Who is a value add real estate investor?
Value add investors are individuals who buy properties that have the potential to increase in value with improvements. Some popular property improvement options include new facades, overhauling operations, beautification, renovations, and rezoning land. By implementing improvements to the properties, value-add real estate investors seek to generate higher returns on their value add investments.
Value add real estate investing can reward investors with lucrative returns. However, since value add real estate investors must opt-in with substantial capital, they must be people with strong risk tolerance and keen investor suave.
Value add real estate strategy, how it works?
A value-add real estate strategy is an investment approach that involves purchasing a distressed or underperforming property (value add property), making strategic renovations or improvements, and then selling or renting the property for a higher price. This strategy aims to increase the property's value and generate higher investor returns.
Value-add real estate investments can take many forms, including:
- Increasing the property's income by leasing vacant space
- Changing the lease structure, ex.: gross or N lease converts to NNN lease
- Increasing the property's income by raising rents
- Renovating a property to make it more attractive to tenants or buyers
- Repositioning a property by changing its use or rebranding it
- Adding amenities or upgrading technology to increase tenant retention
The performance or risks of a value-add strategy depend on many factors, some of them:
- the local real estate market,
- the property's quality,
- the investors' skills and experience.
It is important to conduct thorough due diligence before investing in a value-add property actively or passively and to have a clear plan for adding value and generating a return on investment.
