NEW CONSTRUCTION CASHFLOW

For many investors, cash-flow rental properties are creating an avenue to replace primary incomes and accelerate early retirement timelines.

Landlording, however, comes with an added responsibility and expense called "repair and maintenance".  For investors who are concerned with the added expense of upfront maintenance and repair on their rental properties, new construction rentals can offer an outstanding solution.

Why Should I Invest in New Construction Rental Property? 

There are several reasons:

• Appeal - Tenants love new construction which can translate into lower vacancies for YOU. At a time of increased competition for the best tenants, why not position yourself with the best product?  Put yourself in the tenant's position;  With all things being equal, would you, as a tenant, want to sign a lease on a new unit with new features, appliances and amenities, or an older unit in need of repair/upgrading? 
• Peace Of Mind - Our new construction comes with a warranty on both the structural components of the property, and all included systems.  This minimizes the owner's risk of large out-of-pocket expenditures on repairs. 
• Value - New construction is desirable to buyers.  Newer construction often sells at a higher pricepoint than older construction in the same area.  This equates to more money in your pocket when and if you sell!
• No Surprises - You know exactly what you are getting with new construction.  There are no hidden or latent defects, because everything is new!

What type of cashflow can I expect on new construction?

The following is a cashflow analysis based on actual rents received by the owners of 2 of our new construction duplexes.  As you can see, even after property management fees, mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and a set-aside for contingencies, the returns on these properties are tremendous.  With a suitable downpayment, the cash-on-cash returns on these duplexes far surpassed what these investors would have earned on their funds in savings or money market accounts.  The added potential for tax benefits related to rental property ownership further strengthened their return on investment.

If you're looking for a funding source for your downpayment, keep in mind that funds in your retirement account can be leveraged for real estate purchases with the help of a self-directed IRA.  By leveraging your retirement funds, the returns earned on these properties can be tax-deferred, and in some cases tax exempt!  Call our office to find out how to leverage your retirement account for even greater returns.
