Case Study: Boosting Client Income from $413k to $739k

Problem

Our client, a multifamily property owner, was seeking to significantly increase her annual income from her real estate investments. Her initial annual income was $413k, and she was looking for strategies to enhance her returns. The challenge was to find a way to maximize her income while navigating the complexities of the Los Angeles real estate market.

‍Action

We began by conducting an in-depth analysis of the client’s property, carefully assessing its market value and identifying potential improvements that could enhance its appeal. Leveraging this information, we listed the property using targeted marketing strategies designed to attract qualified buyers. These efforts culminated in a successful sale at a competitive price, effectively positioning the client for her next investment opportunity.

We then expertly facilitated a 1031 exchange, allowing the client to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest the proceeds into a more profitable asset. Following this process, we identified and acquired a triple net lease (NNN) property, known for providing stable and predictable income streams. This strategic move allowed the client to enhance her investment portfolio while optimizing long-term financial returns.

Next, we implemented strategic capital improvements to the newly acquired property, enhancing its market value and making it more attractive to potential tenants. In addition, we adjusted the rental rates to align with current market conditions, ensuring that the property generated maximum rental income. These actions contributed significantly to optimizing the property's financial performance.  

Following these key strategic moves, we continue to provide comprehensive property management services to ensure high occupancy rates and maintain tenant satisfaction. By continuously monitoring market trends and adjusting our strategies accordingly, we are able to optimize returns and sustain the property’s financial success over time.

Results

• The client’s annual income increased from $413k to $739k, representing a substantial gain of $326k.

• The 1031 exchange enabled the client to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest in a higher-yielding NNN property.
