Strategy
- Investing in real estate without a long-term strategy results either in failure or sub-par investment returns.  Residential Finance Network works with each client to develop an optimal strategy for their needs. Primary strategies include:

1. Buy and Hold. With the lowest real estate prices in two decades for some asset classes, buying low now to hold and sell later looks like it will result in superior returns over the next five to ten years. But without aggressive property management, market gains could be offset by sub-par cash flows or excessive repair and replacement costs.

2. Purchase, Reposition and Sell.  A temporary market arbitrage moment exists in most real estate markets today as a glut of foreclosures is depressing properties - especially distressed properties in need of rehabilitation and properties or projects partially completed.  While opportunities exist for above-normal returns over a short period, the challenge is to locate the properties

3. Purchase and Develop.  With a glut of existing inventory, new construction projects of any type are a challenge to finance and see through to completion successfully at this point in the market cycle.  The real opportunities for new projects wil not be viable for at least another one to two years.

Once a strategy is selected, investors can choose to be active or passive and then investors can select among asset classes and geographic location.

Additionally, investors can benefit from federal and state low income housing tax credit programs through public-private partnerships which Residential Finance Network can facilitate.

Residential Finance Network can provide you with the analysis you need to maximize your real estate investment returns.
