How Real Estate Can Augment Your Wealth Strategy

A Roadmap For Growing Wealth

Acquisition

Target Asset

LS Equity will target strategically located multifamily assets in the 10-50 unit range.  We will pursue value add opportunities to force appreciation through interior and exterior capital improvements.  This allows us to re-tenant the property and increase rents to market rates.

 

Apartment buildings in Los Angeles typically appreciate at much higher rates than other markets across the county. By targeting submarkets with strong demand drivers, low vacancy rates, high upside potential, and large rent deltas, we aim to increase cash flow immediately and sell for a large profit at the end of the holding period.

Our ideal location will be one city off the beach in a gentrifying area. Indicators for us to look at will be household income levels and population growth.

Value-Add

Force Appreciation

Naturally, real estate appreciates over time.  LS Equity has a proven method on how to force appreciation on assets and realize gains on investments sooner.  We will force appreciation by using our 4-step method: acquire distressed property with rental upside, buyout tenants, remodel, re-lease units at market rental rates.

 

Once appreciation has been forced, LS Equity will perform a cash out refinance to return equity to its investors.

Cash Flow

Grow & Preserve

Years 2-5 of the investment: Investors collect passive income on a positive cash-flowing asset.

1031 Or Cash Out

Exit Strategy

Typical acquisitions will have a 5-year deal cycle.  At the end of year five,  LS equity will sell the property for a profit and payout investors. Investors will have the option to either cash out or perform a 1031 Exchange with LS Equity and roll their profits into another deal.

Once appreciation has been forced, LS Equity will perform a cash out refinance to return equity to its investors.
