Set goals for the income and capital your properties need to provide
Two investors can look at the same market and be working towards very different decisions. Their income needs, existing mortgages and investment timelines can make the same purchase suitable for very different reasons.
In this archived Adapt & Thrive interview, Dalia Barsoum speaks with Patrick Francey and JG Francoeur from the Real Estate Investment Network. Their conversation begins with the purpose of investing and returns to that purpose when discussing existing holdings, operations and future plans.
The interview was recorded for the 2022 Adapt & Thrive collection.
Match investment plans to your timeline
JG asks what the investor wants real estate to do for them. Later, the guests discuss how their own timelines and objectives differ.
Dalia draws attention to those personal plans rather than a general instruction to enter or leave the market. An investor who needs rental income now has a different priority from one planning to release capital for a later purchase. Establishing the goal and timing helps determine which property and financing options deserve review.
A longer horizon is part of the discussion, not assurance that every property or financing arrangement will work out over time.
Review one property alongside the rest of the portfolio
When Dalia asks about pressure on cash flow, the conversation moves into operations, access to funds and the value of examining the whole portfolio.
The guests discuss how a concern about one holding can benefit from a wider review. Dalia develops that thought by asking what other options might exist outside the property causing the immediate difficulty.
The rental cash-flow guide helps organise the rental income, operating costs and mortgage payments behind that conversation. The complimentary Portfolio Financing Review starts with your priorities and examines individual properties alongside the combined rental income, property costs and mortgage payments.
Research the local market before choosing an investment strategy
Patrick emphasises regional context. In the later discussion, both guests distinguish choosing a tactic from understanding the market and property to which it would apply.
Their specific regional views reflect the recording. An investment strategy needs to suit the local market and the specific property. Another investor’s experience does not establish the rent, costs or financing available for your proposed purchase.
