Hello BP Community,
A client of mine has a SFR in Portsmouth, Ohio that he is interested in selling. I'm helping to find a local and reliable agent to sell this property. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thanks,
Mike

I’ve had a few lender issues with financing a scattered portfolio. Wondering if there were other areas experienced that can be challenging from a buyer’s process.

Michael Rodriguez great to see another SVN broker on BP. Our office has brokered SFR portfolios since 2009 and many of our clients have either exchanged info Multifamily or another SFR Portfolio. Each individual investor has their own needs and risk tolerance, so this will of course vary. I'd try to understand what they value and make a recommendation moving forward. You want to make money, so I'd highlight a few exchange opportunities prior to help make the decision process easier for that client. In my experience, SFR investors are more reluctant to 1031 exchange because it's less common in the residential space vs commercial. Presenting opportunities that are available may help them pursue sale.
I've refinanced my properties and plan to use the equity in the next cycle. Depending on where your client is in his life, he may choose to do the same.
Thanks for the response, Mark. What's the biggest buyer hurdle you've faced in portfolio transactions?

Selling SFR portfolios are difficult. Trust me. I have a pocket listing for a 53 and 34 SFR package in Houston. They are scattered all throughout the city. Brings in great income. But the selling off of these bulk assets are no walk in the park.
I would suggest acquiring all of the financials on the portfolio and packaging them into an easy to read list that shows pertinent information (i.e. cap rates, rent rolls, classification breakdown of properties, etc.). Another thing that may help is if you can place a price per door and/or itemize the asking price per home. This will help for the cherry pickers out there (trust me they are there) who would like to take as little as one or two homes and as much as 70%-80% of the portfolio. If you have a easy going seller they could work it like this.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. We have a platform within SVN that allows for the marketing and packaging of SFR Portfolios based on the complexities of these transactions. It allows for the packaging of all service providers, cherry picking analysis (if seller approves), and provides individual property detail. Happy to share more offline.
You’re spot on with simplifying for the buyer improves value and attracts large portfolio investors nationwide.

An investor took advantage during the downturn and recovery years (technically still in recovery) and has acquired over 50 single family rental homes scattered around Columbus, Ohio. Through property improvements and healthy rental increases (over 4% YOY in Columbus) this owner has a portfolio of properties with very strong appreciation since initial purchase. This experience has caused trapped equity (Gross Yield was 15% at purchase but as property value increases, they've reduced to 9%). In addition to the management expenses that a scattered portfolio demands, this owner has been thinking of making a move...
Of course, goals vary by owner, but generally speaking, what would you advise as a next move for this investor?
A.) Sell as a portfolio and1031 proceeds into a condensed property/portfolio (i.e. Larger Apartment Complex; National Tenant Properties)
B.) Refinance select properties and acquire more SFRs
C.) Not sure - I'm in this situation myself!
D.) Another Suggestion
Please explain!
Interested to hear your thoughts! I've been talking to a number of investors in a similar situation as described above - whether it's 5 or 50 properties.
