Quick Answer

Selling investment property is not exactly the same as selling an owner-occupied home because many buyers evaluate the property as an income-producing asset.

Investor Questions

Be ready for questions like:

  • Current rent
  • Market rent
  • Lease term
  • HOA
  • Taxes
  • Insurance
  • Repairs
  • Capex
  • Vacancy
  • Rental restrictions

Do Not Sell Only the Kitchen

An investor may care far more about cash flow, the tenant, HVAC age, the roof, the HOA, and maintenance.

But Don't Market Only to Investors if an Owner Occupant Would Pay More

This is a big mistake.

Example

A single-family rental might be worth $450,000 to an investor

but $485,000 to an owner occupant.

The broadest legitimate buyer exposure may improve the seller outcome.

1031 Questions

If the seller is considering a tax-deferred exchange, involve qualified tax and exchange professionals before closing deadlines become a problem.

Lisa's Role

Lisa can position the property based on the likely highest-value buyer, not simply the buyer category the seller is used to dealing with.
