After months of claiming “nearly,” we’re formally below contract on our Brooklyn, New York apartment. We received our full asking value ($975,000), plus a beautiful down fee, inside the first two weeks of being available on the market. (Thanks, NYC actual property!)
After all, it ain’t over till we get our fats verify, however we’re thrilled to have made it this far, and for the primary time in months, the ball is type of within the purchaser’s courtroom to get value determinations and financing—fingers crossed we’re all techniques go. (And sure, we all know it might nonetheless go south at this level, however we’re eternally optimistic!)
That is, after all, our first step in a considerably sophisticated 1031 alternate—the place we’re promoting the Brooklyn apartment we’ve owned for 20 years, making a really giant revenue (we purchased it for $375,000 in 2004), after which rolling over the whole thing of that gross sales value into an funding property, which we hope will internet us a giant month-to-month verify till the tip of time.
With the primary a part of our alternate underway, we at the moment are moderately free to focus fully on the purchase facet. And we now have been busy. As you might keep in mind, we took a fast journey to the Dallas suburbs to take a look at (and in the end cross on) a giant 13-unit condo constructing with a ton of points we determined we didn’t need to take care of.
Barely influenced by that, we turned to the opposite finish of the resource-intensive spectrum and targeted on hands-off NNN leases. Listed here are some of the offers we reviewed the final couple of weeks, how we analyzed them, and why we in the end handed (or didn’t?).
1. An Auto Restore Enterprise within the Northeast
- Value: $1.08 million
- Cap charge: 7.00%
- NOI: $75,600
- 10 years on main lease time period, with 5% lease will increase each 5 years
- 4 (five-year) renewal choices
- Company assure
- NN lease: Roof, basis, and HVAC landlord accountability
Go: This can be a double internet lease (relatively than triple internet), the place too most of the huge bills could be our accountability.
2. A Standard Restaurant Chain within the Deep South
- Value: $1.4 million
- Cap charge: 6.25%
- NOI: $89,154
- 2018 development
- 15-year absolute NNN
- 1.5% annual lease will increase
Go: Too costly. After loans, we’d solely internet $3,400 a month.
3. One other Standard Restaurant Chain within the Deep South With 8 Years Left on the Lease
- Value: $1.2 million
- Cap charge: 7.25%
- NOI: $90,000
- Eight years left on lease, 10% will increase each 5 years
- Absolute NNN—zero landlord obligations
- Standard restaurant chain
Undecided: Value is correct, and it nets about $4,800 after debt service, which is nice. However we had been nervous concerning the eight years left on the lease. The tip of the NNN lease is, after all, the place it begins to get very costly because you may be vacant for a very long time. Possibly that’s why the cap charge is increased. We’re having some extra conversations with our dealer about this subsequent week.
What do you consider the offers we reviewed this month? Did we make the suitable calls? What would you be in search of, and what would you run from?
