Description

Property offers the best of a great location and quiet neighborhood with ease of commute to downtown, both through its ease of access to Highway and the on-site shuttle service. Amenities offered include site-wide WiFi, workout room, lounge and game-room. Since it opened its doors property has had strong occupancy and is one of urban city's nicest new apartment complexes.

State:MN

First Half taxes: $71,610

Second Half taxes: $71,610

Property Tax from county statement total due for 2019:  $143,220.00


My initial ideas on purchasing and increasing value:

  1.  Acquire investors (1-3) to put down 30% or more of the total price to secure a loan with a bank.
  2. Purchase property using loan through a C corporation for tax incentives and liability protections.
  3. If property is not currently being managed by a professional company, locate up to 3 professional management companies and determine best one to run day to day operations.
  4. Lease out Fitness center to a National fitness company, IE Snap fitness etc under contract, allowing them to renovate and update the space. Currently its a few cardio machines and 2 tv's in a plain white room with a separate room for lifting.  Update to 1 open area with changing rooms and possibly a sauna as well etc.
  5. Lease out club room, currently a room with a couch and a tv to a Juice bar or coffee company.
  6. Update Game room to more than a pool table and TV, place furniture from club room into game room. or update to a business center with public use PC's, Printer/ Copy/ Fax machines.
  7. Reevaluate Property value with bank to pay back initial invested amount with a previously agreed amount of interest and % ownership
  8. Profit?

Thank you for reading this any notes are appreciated.

I have been studying smaller (SF) property investment for 2 years, and have yet to get "skin in the game" at any level so far.

I am planning on starting this year, either big or small though preferably bigger like this property.

PM's are accepted.

    @Hassan O. NOI was not listed with the posting, so I was unable to calculate the CAP rate with out the NOI, and there was no CAP listed so I couldnt use the formula for the cap rate to figure out the NOI, I'd have to contact the agent its listed with to find that out would be my guess.

    @Hassan O. I wasnt planning on doing this property, just wanted to run through it as a simulation to learn how to do it. I know I need more information on it but I'm not sure what else I need to know before I could ever consider investing in something big like this. I'm aware of NOI and CAP rates. what other metrics are there to consider?

    @Dan Tessman

    Why would you use a C Corp? I think investors would expect an LLC or limited partnership, which allows for tax losses to flow through and the ability to do a tax-free cash-out refi in the future.

    @Bryan Mills from my understanding c corps pay taxes on net income not gross income so operating costs and any gross income that gets reinvested or paid out for expenses to accountants, lawyers, realestate agents, debt repayments (the initial 4 million investment being repayed is debt for the corporation a d deductible) are all tax deductible.

    @Bryan Mills if that's not correct that would be important to know, but my understanding was there are far less taxes on a C Corp than a sole proprietorship or LLC.
