    With an apartment building investment strategy, it is possible to make a very large profit from one deal. It does, however, require a lot of work and possibly a few years to complete.

    If you know what you are doing, buying, improving, and then selling an apartment building can be one of the surest ways to make a large profit in real estate. Why? The size of the inves

    Selling an apartment building isn't like selling a house. For example, if you paint a house, you'll get a little more for it because it looks nice. But you are just guessing at how much value that painting adds. What if yo

    Examples of combination products may in
    u chose a color that isn't popular? How much does a deck raise the value of a house? This is not an easy question to answer.

    There is a more predictable formula for raising the value of an apartment building or complex. This is because the buyers are investors, who look at income more than new paint. The formula is simple: raise net income, and you increase value.

    r example, suppose investors in your area expect a capitalization rate of .08. That means that they expect a net return (before loan payments) of 8% on the purchase price. If your thirty-unit apartment building generates $120,000 net income annually, they'll value it around $1,500,000 ($120,000 divided by .08). If you can get it to generate $160,000, it will be worth

    $2,000,000.

    The strategy then is simple (but perhaps not easy). You find an apartment building that is not being operated efficiently, buy it at a good price, increase its net income, and resell it for a profit. If the increase in income is predictable, the increase in value is.

The vacancy rate has been at 10% for the last year, above the 3% rate that is more common for the area. You decide that this is because the place is a bit run-down, and the management company isn't very quick about getting new tenants in.

There are only a couple places that rent this cheap in town, and there are many that get $750 or more for two bedroom apartments. You can see that there is potential for improvement and higher rents here.

Based on the prevailing cap rate in the area of .08, the value is around $2,300,000. ($184,000 divided by .08). You have been shopping not just for apartment buildings, though, but also for motivated sellers. This seller is on

    The first thing you do - before you even close on the deal - is make a list of every possible way to reduce the expenses and increase the income. As soon as you close the deal, you go to work.

    The community room is cleaned up, and you install video games for the kids. They are provided by a amusement company at no cost to you, and you get half of the income.

    The other side of the community room becomes a laundry room. Again, you opt for an arrangement that gives you half of the income without any investment in machines on your part. It does

    You replace the inefficient heater for the hallways with one that will cut your gas bill by 30%. It costs you $6,500.

    Tenants are surveyed and repairs and improvement are made as needed or desired by tenants. This costs another $32,000.

    The tenants, of course, were told there would be improvements. They were also notified that a rent increase was necessary to pay for these, but that rent would be close to that of similar apartment buildings. A

    Your share of the laundry machine income was $2,400.

    The storage sheds were mostly occupied, and brought in $3,800.

    The income from the video games and pop machine in the community room was $1800.

    At a .08 cap rate, the value of the apartment building is now about 3.4 million dollars. Because it is in such perfect shape, however, you list it for sale at 3.7 million dollars, and by the end of the third year it sells for 3,500,000. Sale's commission and closing costs total almost $
