Right now, investors want to ensure that any property they own or acquire maximizes its potential. After all, the investment market is less forgiving these days. Every decision counts!

Tax Day is upon us! If you haven’t started working on filing for 2022, you may officially be procrastinating. We get it – taxes are never fun, even when you have a CPA doing the heavy lifting for you. With that said, you can make tax season a little less painful by leveraging your real estate investments to reduce your tax liability!

So, you’ve purchased an investment property. The renovations have been completed, the residents have signed a lease, and you’re ready to start earning some sweet, sweet passive income.

For passive real estate investors, your job is to steer the ship. You’re the one setting goals, driving acquisition rates, communicating a vision, and, ultimately, evaluating your portfolio performance and pivoting accordingly.

It’s not always immediately evident if your latest investment is worth its while. When you’re adept at evaluating a property’s investment potential, you’re able to navigate your acquisitions with confidence. Building a world-class real estate portfolio isn’t easy – but these signs will help you know when you’re on the right track.

Investing in real estate is a numbers game. The profitability of any given investment often comes down to a very simple equation. Though you can analyze the numbers in different ways, such as the profitability index (  Profitability Index = Present Value of Future Cash Flows ÷ Initial Investment ) and ROI ( ROI = Net Return on Investment ÷ Cost of Investment x 100% ), the point is that it all comes down to numbers.

Everyone would like to bring in more money, wouldn’t they? It would be great to increase our profit margins, whether it’s in business or in our investments. When it comes to setting and reaching new profit goals, it is certainly easier said than done. We would like to believe it’s as easy as saying we want to make more money this year and see it magically happen.
