What price should you pay for investment real estate?

I teach/mentor/coach a buy and hold strategy when it comes to real estate investing. It’s also a truism that you make money in real estate when you buy not when you sell (and since I teach folks to hold property for at least 3-generations), purchasing well-located properties at a decent price (ie, buying smart/buying low) initially is really important.

SO, DON’T OVERPAY!

But how do you figure out what price to offer/pay for your next investment property?

Whether it’s a single family rental, a duplex or triplex, a tenplex, a small plaza, a mini storage business or a boutique hotel (which I analyze in this video), the process is the same–you figure out what the existing NOI (net operating income) is, divide that by your target cap rate (capitalization rate) and, presto, you have your answer.

I also show here (the url for the above video is, https://youtu.be/Jw6bfaGy8l4) how to animate this boutique hotel property (that is add additional income streams) and raise cap rates (ie, ROI, return on investment), which raises the question: Who should benefit from that increased ROI–you the buyer or the original seller?

The animation example I use here is the addition of 6 excellent glamping (glamorous camping) yurts from former architecture student of mine Anissa Szeto’s company https://yurta.ca/.
