APARTMENTS OVERVIEW

Apartments can be an exciting option—whether you are looking to buy, lease, or invest. As residential income properties, apartments are designed to be leased or sold to multiple tenants for habitation. These commercial sites range from a small condominium to a large apartment complex and should map to your specific needs, goals and resources. Properties are typically non-owner occupied and may often be utilized as a source of a series of cash flows, tax benefits, appreciation and capital accumulation. You should consult with your tax advisor about specific tax and financial advice.

PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS

The number of individual dwelling units included in a single project is typically the overall method of classifying apartment properties. CENTURY 21 considers only projects containing at least five units to be commercial property. Apart from the number of units, residential income properties can be classed according to general types of unit design, such as convertible, efficiency, garden, loft, low-/high-rise, penthouse, studio, or townhouse.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

CENTURY 21 Commercial sales professionals can facilitate the process of analyzing location, trends, populations and other demographics that may help to minimize risk. In addition, CENTURY 21 Commercial sales professionals have access to resources that can help to assess the risks associated with zoning, environmental and occupancy requirements. The Cash-Flow Analysis Model also recognizes that Real Estate Investors who buy income properties typically are buying two future cash-flow benefits. The first benefit is the annual cash flow after taxes from operations for each year of the holding period; and secondly the benefits of the after-tax proceeds at the point of disposition of the property. However, you should consult with your tax advisor about U.S. federal and state income laws.
