Investment properties

An investment property is real estate property purchased with the intention of earning a return on the investment either through rental income, the future resale of the property, or both. The property may be held by an individual investor, a group of investors, or a corporation.

• Knowledge of the market is a MUST

Understanding the local area is a priceless attribute in real estate. A Realtor who has experience in your area will have a better understanding of the investment property’s value. He’ll be able to find investment properties for sale, and answer questions like, ‘Are rental properties a good investment?’ Whether it’s a commercial investment or you’re taking a stab at becoming a landlord for the first time, a Realtor who knows the neighborhood should be able to help answer the following questions;

• Who will rent my property?
• How likely is it to stay occupied?
• What are the resell capabilities?

We in Altam Partners can assure you, that we have all the above mentioned knowledge. And we are here to help you with your investment steps.

• Connections – It’s all About Who You Know

You’ve heard the phrase your entire life “It’s all about who you know.” This holds true, especially in the world of real estate investments. Someone who specializes in investments will be well-versed in the community and receive opportunities before the property even hits the marketplace.

This Someone is Altam Partners. If you tell us what you are looking for we are able to bring you off – market offers following your request.

• Understanding ROI (return of investment)

Investment realtors should always be on the lookout for the best deals for their clients. Finding a good deal is great, but understanding ROI is imperative. Before you select a realtor, make sure he understands your financial goals for the investment. These are important points to bring up to the realtor so he can help you find the right property to achieve your goal:

• I’m investing to resell within 5 years
• The property will be used to garner additional income through leasing agreements
• I plan on fixing-up the property in order to sell it at a higher premium

 Altam Partners will always listen carefully to your expectations and respect your needs.

• Realtor who Invests in Properties himself is always a good sign!

A lot of investment realtors also invest themselves. We are a realtor who has investment properties in private portfolios and we have first-hand experience, which means fewer mistakes, less guessing and more trust. Don’t be afraid to ask us questions about our own experience.
