Ashley Kerr: 小型多户型房产投资虽然看起来吓人,但实际上风险比单户住宅低,是积累财富和房地产投资组合的一种有效方式。我拥有多种类型的租赁房产,包括长期、中期和短期租赁,这证明了小型多户型房产投资的优势。 Tony J. Robinson: 小型多户型房产投资对新手投资者来说是一个好策略,因为它比单户住宅风险更低,并且更容易购买。 Amelia McGee: 小型多户型房产投资比单户住宅风险更低,因为有多个租户带来收入来源,可以抵消空置风险。此外,利用房屋租赁策略(house hacking)可以以较低的首付进入多户型房产投资。通过与房产经纪人合作,并积极争取交易,可以找到价格合理的房产。在当地社区发布买房信息,也可以找到合适的房产。明确你的购房标准(buy box),并积极向经纪人推销自己,可以提高找到合适房产的几率。卖家融资是一种购买多户型房产的有效方式,我通过这种方式购买了多处房产。 Grace Gudenkauf: 投资多户型房产必须遵循“1%规则”,即月租金至少是房产价格的1%,以确保现金流。不要用最后一笔钱买房,并确保有足够的现金流来应对房地产投资中的风险。研究城市发展规划,可以找到有升值潜力的房产,并可能获得政府资金支持。可以向政府申请税收递增融资(tax increment financing),以降低投资成本。积极主动地联系潜在卖家,可以找到合适的房产。提供推荐费可以激励他人提供房产信息。签订免责声明(estoppel agreement)可以验证租赁协议中的信息,避免潜在纠纷。要警惕未经许可的房屋改建,这可能会带来法律和财务问题。要警惕将单户住宅改造成多户住宅的房产,因为这类房产可能存在结构和管理问题。要确保每个单元都有独立的公共设施,以方便管理和避免纠纷。多户型房产的租户管理比单户住宅更复杂,需要设置明确的边界和预期。建立系统和流程对于管理多户型房产至关重要,即使只有一处房产。使用房产管理软件可以提高效率和组织性。
