I first became involved with real estate in 1981 when my wife gave me a choice of ballroom dance or real estate classes. I chose real estate, and began buying properties as rental investments. Over the years in working with real estate, I have purchased in excess of 3,500 single-family homes and pick up the name Mr. Lease Option. My web is www.mrleaseoption.com I teach over 40 real estate investment seminars a year, and running investment club www.megaeventingevent.com keeps me on the go.

Investing in Apartment Buildings-Market Cycle and 10/31 Exchange

The beauty of owning apartment buildings is the monthly cash flow. But, there comes a time when you have paid so much into the principle and reach a certain peak that you are no longer able to depreciate the building as much as you would like to. How do you determine when it is the right time to sell?

This is a good question for your accountant to answer, but on the average, it is recommended that you own the building for somewhere between five to ten years. Unlike buying a house, fixing it up, and flipping it to make $50,000, you are buying the apartment building for the cash flow. Look at the market cycles because each city has its own cycle regarding apartments, single family homes and the economy in that particular city. There comes a time when you will be receiving maximum rents, getting maximum depreciation and expenses should be under control. When you are no longer able to depreciate the property quickly enough to enjoy the tax benefits that is the time to do a 10/31 exchange, which is when you sell this first building, by a new building, and transfer the equity and start the depreciation cycle all over again for another five to ten years.
