The RealSource Multifamily Stimulus Package Delivers "Safe Haven" for Cash, IRA and Equity Investors
Americans can invest in commercial real estate. Whether it is IRA moneys, liquid savings accounts or home equity, the money is there to start the process," explained Michael Anderson, Principal Broker of RealSource.net, a leader in multifamily and apartment investments. "It is the decision to move forward that escapes many would-be successful real estate investors."
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 29, 2008 — More than one expert in the news media said this is the ‘worst’ of times’ for real estate companies and investors. And it was, for some, but not for RealSource. Charles Dickens aptly wrote, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…" And that summarizes the situation today. It may be a difficult time for many investments, but it’s a great time for multifamily real estate investors.
"Multifamily has traditionally been considerably more recession proof than any other form of real estate investment simply because people always need a place to live. In a recession, housing affordability is taken off the table. If people cannot afford to get into that starter home or to stay in their current home, they look to rental property as the solution for those living needs," said Michael Anderson, RealSource Founder and co-owner. "Today, we are probably seeing the very best of times as far as an increase in rental demand, the predecessor of pushing income and thus the value of multifamily real estate."
A recent study by two prestigious organizations backs up Anderson’s claims. A key finding of the Fourth Quarter 2008 Real Estate Research Corporation /CCIM Investment Trends Quarterly, found that the apartment sector, the only safe haven for investor dollars, earned the highest investment conditions rating at 6.2. Since the first economic salvos hit the economy in 2007, Third Quarter of 2007, apartments have led all property types in this category. Apartments also led the other key property types in two other categories: return versus risk, where it scored a 6.1 rating, and value versus price, where apartments scored 5.0. The value versus price analysis indicates survey respondents maintain the value of apartment properties are equal to the price paid.
"Investments in multifamily properties are solid and stable opportunities when they are made in the right properties, in the right markets, and at the right times," Anderson added. "We provide investors with an economic staff and research that tracks 363 MSAs nationwide, and tools and technology to keep them connected to their properties as if they were able to manage them directly themselves."
The RealSource niche, since 1989, is multifamily investments. RealSource presents income-producing opportunities to clients and pays affiliate brokers the commissions and referral fees they deserve – again and again.
