http://www.maverickinvestorgroup.com/ | When purchasing investment real estate, well-resourced investors often make the mistake of looking to buy commercial property instead of residential investment property, reasoning that an apartment complex or other commercial property is a more scalable and profitable asset than single family rental properties. While this may seem logical, it is typically not the case in 2014, as market conditions created by the aftermath of the housing collapse have made investing in residential real estate a superior option. This presentation will discuss the many reasons for this.

When purchasing investment real estate, well-resourced investors often make the mistake of
looking to buy commercial property instead of residential investment property, reasoning that an
apartment complex or other commercial property is a more scalable and profitable asset than
single family rental properties. While this may seem logical, it is typically not the case in 2014, as
market conditions created by the aftermath of the housing collapse have made investing in
residential real estate a superior option. This presentation will discuss the many reasons for this.

3. A Booming Market
After the crash, the residential real estate market is soaring back
up, with home prices and buyer demand increasing rapidly.
• In 2013, home prices increased in more than two-thirds of the
276 cities surveyed by Clear Capital.
• Industry experts are predicting a strong year of growth in 2014.
• Although prices are rising fast, many markets remain well below
the peak prices of 2006 and also below the historical trend line,
so ample upside potential remains.

4. Why Residential?
At this unique historical moment, there are a number of
advantages of residential investment property over
commercial.
• The aftermath of the housing meltdown has created a
unique historical moment where investors can buy single
family homes for less than builder replacement cost.
• Due to the foreclosure crisis, many families with stable
incomes have been displaced from their homes and
thrust into the rental market. They prefer to rent SFHs
rather than apartments so demand is rising fast.

5. The Big Players Agree
Large institutional investors and REITs see the value of investing in single-family homes. Many of them--who have previously bought
either exclusively commercial real estate or no real estate at all--are now buying single family rental properties for the first time
and scooping them up by the thousands.
Major private equity funds and other large investment firms such as Colony, Oaktree Capital, Och-Ziff Capital Management and
Blackstone Group LP are buying more than $8 billion worth of houses in markets hit hard by the housing meltdown, according to
Bloomberg.
And this level of buying activity is single handedly helping to move markets and drive prices back up.
Smart investors in the Maverick community have been buying in the path of growth and riding the wave.

6. Rental Demand Increasing
The demand for rental property is increasing, creating a more
reliable income stream for owners of single-family investment
properties.
• The percentage of people renting homes has increased to
35%, the highest percentage of renters since the mid-90s.
• Vacancy rates for rentals are decreasing sharply, according
to the Census Bureau.

7. Long Term Trends Also Support
Residential Investment
Medium and long-term trends point to the benefits of residential
investment property.
•
Homeowners pushed out of their homes by foreclosure want to
rent houses, not apartments, and this portion of the rental pool
is continuing to increase. These people will need to remain in
the rental market for quite some time as their credit is rebuilt.
•
Student loan debt is pushing Gen Y to put off buying homes,
and increasingly making them unable to qualify for mortgages.
This results in them remaining renters much longer, in need of
rental properties.

8. Financial Flexibility
When your property investment is tied up in a
large piece of commercial real estate, your only
options are sell or hold. With a more diversified
portfolio that consists of multiple single family
rental properties across a number of markets,
you have both choices and hedges. You can:
- Sell off properties when their prices rise
enough, while retaining others for future sale.
- Have multiple, diversified streams of income,
incase some don’t perform as expected.
