Why Would I Sell A Valued Add Property?

A value add property is one where the owner can increase the value through renovations, rebranding, or improvement in management. Typically, by increasing the NET OPERATING INCOME, additional value has been created in addition to the previous value of the property.

WHY WOULD I SELL A VALUED ADD PROPERTY? 
If there is additional equity to be created why would I sell? Some owners don’t have the cash, the time, the expertise, or the patience to take on such a project. A seller may own a rent-controlled property with large one-bedroom units and outdated kitchens and baths. There is money to be made, but how will they get units vacant? Who will do the work? How will they obtain financing? Maybe your multi-unit building was great in the past, but now a triple net property, with no management requirements may be a better fit.

LIFE CHANGES
You may have decided to sell your building as-is. Perhaps you don’t have the time you once had to improve it. Your financial picture may have changed, as life goes on. You could be involved in a partnership dissolution, or you may have run across an opportunity that requires the cash you could get from the sale of your building.

There are as many reasons as there are owners, but whatever the reason, you have decided it is time to move on.

INVESTORS ARE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES
With demand high and supply still low, for multi-unit properties, now may be the time to explore your options. You should have an idea before you move ahead with the sale of your property as to how the sale is going to improve your situation. Even if you aren’t planning on making changes, knowing what it would take to achieve the potential upside on your property will make it easier to sell.
