Real Estate – Apartment Hunting Tips

Real Estate ApartmentIt seems as though apartment hunting in Los Angeles could easily be a full time job. With the economy as it is there are many more vacancies than usual. California has recently experience its highest unemployment rate since World War II. Real estate is viewed as a pinnacle of indicating economic trends and thus far it is viewed as very unstable in the Los Angeles and entire California area. With the instability, the choices for apartments increase as does the negotiating influence of the apartment hunter.

The cost of living in Los Angeles is estimated to be approximately 33 percent higher than that of the national average. It is not cheap to live the City of Angels. Depending upon where you get your statistics from, the average rent could be anywhere from $735 to $1680. You have to realize how large L.A. is and what a variety of lifestyles there are in one city.

The Time is Now to Focus on Commercial Real Estate Apartments

Real Estate ApartmentIn a recent article, I talked about the value of multi-family real estate in the current economy. Does the same reasoning apply to commercial apartments? You bet it does as, after all, apartments are just larger examples of multi-family real estate investments. The primary differences between what one would commonly call multi-family real estate and apartments relate to the number of units.

Apartments, at least by my definition, are buildings with eight or more rental units. This is technically multi-family but, when I think of multi-family dwellings, I’m thinking more of two, three, or 4-unit buildings. Why is this difference significant? It has to do with volume of inventory. In most markets, there are large numbers of multi-family buildings and comparatively fewer apartments. See the difference?

The ramifications for you are that to effectively evaluate, make offers on, and select apartments as investments, you are much more likely to need to move out of your primary real estate market to find the kind of deal that meets your criteria as a real estate investor. You might have several dozen multi-family buildings to choose from in your market (among those listed for sale), but only 2-3 apartment buildings, making the ability to play the numbers game a little harder to play.
