@Lexey NeitzelThe real estate industry is constantly changing, meaning it is up to investors and agents to go that extra mile to stay current and ahead of the competition.In today’s real estate landscape, customers expect their agents to deliver personalized experiences.

Common area expenses can be anything from landscaping, sprinkler maintenance, to the roof etc..

You may need to maximize the property to achieve these numbers (raise rents, renovate interior units, landscaping and strong property management) which could allow you yo achieve a 45-55% equity position which will set you up to refi the property or 1031 exchange in 2 years to a bigger development.
