In the dynamic landscape of real estate investment, student housing has rapidly emerged as a sector offering both stability and profitability. This growth is fueled by a consistent and increasing demand for quality housing solutions at academic institutions across the United States. Accredited investors stand at an advantageous point, poised to capitalize on this expanding market. The combination of a stable tenant base, coupled with the sector’s resilience to economic fluctuations, positions student housing as a compelling investment choice.

The Growing Need for Student Housing

Pioneer Realty Capital reports a significant shortage in student housing across U.S. universities. This shortage, coupled with increasing enrollment rates, has created a substantial gap between supply and demand in student housing.

Why Invest in Student Housing?

1. Stable Demand: Student housing remains resilient against economic downturns. The consistent influx of students ensures steady demand, providing a more stable investment compared to other real estate sectors.
2. Higher Returns: The sector often yields higher rental incomes than traditional residential properties, with effective rent growth in the top 175 universities increasing by a notable 7.9% from August 2022 to August 2023​​.
3. Growing Market: The U.S. student accommodation market, with a revenue of $3.1 billion in the current year, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% through 2029. The increasing number of both domestic and international students is driving this growth, especially in cities with renowned universities​​.

Are You Ready?

With promising markets in Dallas-Fort Worth and Prairie View, now is an opportune time to invest in Texas’ multifamily real estate. Join us at Pioneer Realty Capital and be a part of this exciting growth.

There are many reasons to be interested in passive real estate investment. Regular dividends or fixed payments from borrowers, for example, provide a predictable stream of passive income and a level of financial stability that can be hard to match.

Some investors set even loftier goals. Passive real estate investment can lead to portfolio growth through property appreciation. What’s more, property ownership is one of the surest ways to secure generational wealth for one’s family. Combined with passive income, this growth potential makes passive real estate investment a preferred choice for many savvy investors.

We’ve already covered the basics of investing in commercial real estate in the past. In order to begin earning passive income through real estate investment, however, you’ll need to understand what it is and how it works. In this post, we’ll provide an introduction to passive investing and share how you can get started today.

What Qualifies as Passive Real Estate Investing?

Buying and renting out a property typically isn’t considered passive real estate investment. If you manage maintenance and leases yourself, that’s far from passive! However, some people find that paying a property manager (or property management company) takes much of the work out of this endeavor and feels passive enough.

If you don’t mind the work that goes into identifying, hiring, communicating, and negotiating terms with a property manager, this could be a form of mostly-passive income that works for you. Many investors who go this route also employ a “buy and hold” technique, renting the property out while waiting for its value to appreciate enough to make a significant profit by selling.

Appreciation is when the value of a property increases over time. Keep this in mind for when we delve into its advantages further down.

Buying and renting is a popular real estate investment choice. However, most truly passive real estate investors seek investments that grant partial property ownership in exchange for capital, then pay out dividends or other types of regular income.

Some examples of this type of passive real estate investment include stocks, mutual funds, or partnerships with investment companies. It’s passive because after your initial investment, you do little to no work and have no hands-on responsibilities with regards to an actual property.

How Does Passive Real Estate Investing Work?

For a more hands-off approach, you may invest in real estate development companies, brokers, construction companies, or REITs. Alternately, you may partner with other investors or companies, or work with a syndicator. Crowdfunding is also a new option that has made passive real estate investment more accessible than ever before, with lower buy-in for direct investments in individual real estate deals.

Debt-based investments tend to pay fixed monthly payments over time, creating an excellent source of passive income. Others grant an equity stake in ongoing revenue and/or profit, which may grant generous returns when that income is distributed to investors.

What Are the Advantages of Passive Real Estate Investment?

One of the reasons why passive real estate investment is such a smart move is the associated tax benefits. Property ownership comes with tax deferrals that let you keep more of your earnings. We delve more deeply into the details on our previous post about tax benefits, and highlight how to avoid capital gains tax in our post about opportunity zones.

With the right partner, there’s also no need to worry about maintenance, tenants, or even working with banks. Your real estate investment company will do that all for you. Paired with tax benefits, this generally positions real estate investing as the most return a person can get with the least effort.

Then, there’s appreciation. Property values tend to rise over time, meaning that real estate will increase your portfolio value to hedge against inflation. This can also generate leverage for future investments, or provide a profitable opportunity to sell down the line.

Finally, real estate adds diversification to your portfolio, building resilience against uncertainty.

If you choose to go the REIT or stock route, all of the above still applies, though with less tax benefits. You can be taxed at the highest tax bracket of your regular income if you choose these other investment options. Invest directly in properties for maximum returns.

Why Not Start Today?

As with any investment, passive real estate investing means accepting a certain level of risk. To mitigate this, do your own research and consider tapping into financial experts such as the ones here at Pioneer Realty Capital. We have over 20 years in commercial mortgages, development, and investments, and we have never lost an investor money. Over $2B funded nationwide, and we stick by our strong commitment to investor customer service and success. Sign up on our network of accredited investors today, and check out our current passive income real estate investment opportunities. We offer self-directed IRA, direct investment via ach payment form, and many other funding options to make passive investment even easier for you.

Perhaps you’re an investor looking to diversify your portfolio, or want to expand your understanding of residential real estate to the commercial sector. Or, maybe you’re new to investing, but have noticed that commercial real estate (CRE) has some of the highest returns and cash flow available. It’s also possible that crowdfunding, which lowers financial barriers to CRE investing, has caught your attention.

No matter what drew you to CRE, welcome. Pioneer Realty Capital is here to untangle some of the confusion that new investors may experience, and support them on their journey to financial security and success. Whatever your wealth-building goals, we’re sure you’ll find something here that helps.

Ready to see your roadmap to CRE investing success? Read on.

Step One: Understand the Basics

If it were easy, everybody would be doing it. The popular saying applies to just about everything worth doing, including CRE investing. Before committing hard-earned money to CRE investing, it’s important to understand how everything works, and where your goals fit in.

First of all, when it comes to CRE investing, money comes from two places: rental income, and property appreciation. Rental income is what tenants, often business owners, pay the property owner (that’s you!) as part of a lease agreement. This income is what provides the much-sought cash flow CRE investors enjoy, and is much more stable and liquid than other investments, like stocks.

Property appreciation, on the other hand, is less liquid; it’s simply the rise in property value over time. Since space is a finite resource in any given location, real estate has inherent value. As space gets used up, properties tend to become more valuable over time. Some investors also raise the value of their properties by upgrading them for value-add. While property value is generally harder to “cash in” (you’d have to sell it), it is very useful as a leveraging tool for further investments and wealth-building.

Additionally, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the different types of CRE properties, such as office, retail, industrial, multifamily, mixed-use, or special purpose. If you already have some experience in one of these sectors, that may help narrow down the type of property you look into for the next steps. If you’re a business owner who plans to use the property yourself, familiarize yourself with owner-occupied CRE strategies.

Step Two: Do Your Homework

You’ll hear investors talk a lot about due diligence, and for good reason. Due diligence means researching how investing works, how the CRE market and its cycles operate, and how it differs from residential real estate.

Importantly, commercial real estate focuses more heavily on things like usable square footage, longer leases, and tenant types as compared to residential real estate. As you research and narrow down property types and locations, you’ll want to become a master in your areas of interest. Familiarize yourself with current deals and sellers, and note which ones look right for your goals.

The benefits of all this work return in multiple: CRE investors experience a higher income, less competition, and less volatility than most other investors. Commercial real estate investment also comes with tax benefits in addition to securing future wealth and diversifying portfolios. A little work up front goes a long way for years to come.

Step Three: Prepare for Paperwork

Once you’ve become a near-expert on your ideal investment property, you’ll obviously need to prepare for the documentation that comes with financing and purchasing.

To do this, gather your contact information and a description of your business or entity, if you have either. If you own a business, you’ll also want to write up a description of your core services. All of this will help establish credibility with lenders and partners. In today’s technology age, this packet should be created electronically so it can be easily tailored to different purposes.

By this point, you’ve probably guessed that your credit score and other financial standings will factor into the kinds of deals you’re able to participate in. Do everything you can to establish strong creditworthiness while doing your research on loan to value and debt service coverage ratios, in particular if you plan to borrow as part of your investment strategy.

There are many terms and trends to familiarize yourself with at this stage, such as amortization, cash on cash, internal rate of return, CAP rate, and net operating income. You’ll also want to create contingency and capital reserve funds. If it all seems like a lot, it may be wise to look into partnering with a financial advisor before dipping into CRE investment. This brings us to our final step.

Step Four: Find a Property, and/or a Partner

At this stage, investors are ready to start really narrowing down properties they’re interested in. They may find these properties via marketing tactics like direct mail, searching increasingly available online listings, or networking with other investors or financial advisors. If you’re purchasing on your own, you’ll need to think about whether you need asset management and start planning to hire a property manager and maintenance team.

For many investors at this stage, the amount of capital available plays a large role in investment options. Traditionally, hundreds of thousands of dollars were needed to even consider CRE investing. Now, thanks to crowdfunding, some platforms welcome investors with as little as $500. These platforms also remove much of the work of identifying and negotiating property deals on your own. In fact, partnering with experienced investment strategists is a wise move for most beginners to CRE investing.

Partners like PRC can help you avoid mistakes like falling for improper valuations or missing a crucial part of due diligence. They can also help you get a loan tailored to your situation, be it an SBA loan for your small business, or a more conventional or commercial bridge loan. Any questions you may have along the way are easily answered by the experienced professionals at your side. For accredited investors, we created the PRC Investor Network.

Investors expected 2021 to be an interesting year. COVID-19, after all, is sure to continue to move real estate in many directions in the second half. However, strong consumer spending and e-commerce in 2020, as well as growing interest in AI and cybersecurity made the first two quarters seem set for success.

Then the Delta Variant outbreak happened.

If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that nothing is certain. With that in mind, let’s explore sound investment strategies for 2022.

Considerations for 2022

On the morning of March 3^rd 2020, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by half a percentage in an emergency rate cut. This was a direct response to the market drop caused by concerns about the coronavirus crisis’ economic impact. This rate has remained at this level until recently when the Fed started raising it.

The lower interest rate affects consumer interest rates such as those on credit cards, bank loans, mortgages, and more. Even before the Fed lowered this rate, however, mortgage rates had already neared all-time lows due to coronavirus worries.

The coronavirus crisis continues to rear its head, and we just don’t know when it will end or whether we will gain crowd immunity anytime soon, but markets are still holding up. Even though the ups and downs, 2021 turned out to be a pretty good year for most multifamily, industrial, and other real estate property investors.

What does all this mean for investors? It means careful consideration of investment strategies for the year ahead. While short-term goals may be drastically affected (i.e., Apple’s supply chains and Disney’s amusement parks are already suffering, causing shareholder concern), investors with long-term goals may need to just take a deep, thoughtful breath. Investing in remote meeting software Zoom may only go well for as long as the coronavirus crisis keeps workers out of offices, for example.

Personal Considerations

As with any year, the most important considerations are each investor’s personal goals and risk tolerance.

For investors looking to start or bolster retirement savings and who have decades of time on their side, one volatile year is just a bump in the road. For those with more immediate financial outcomes in their sights, this year could be make-or-break.

These factors play into another consideration: risk tolerance. While some investors are naturally skittish and others are more relaxed, timelines can put pressure on anyone’s portfolio outlook.

So, consider your goals, risk tolerance, and current portfolio before diving into the strategies below. Investing only for 2020 as we enter the end of the first quarter is likely short-sighted for many. Consider where you want to be financially at the end of 2020, but also afterwards, and think about how much time you have to get there. Then, take a look at these options:

1. CDs and Money Market or High Yield Savings Accounts
2. The Stock Market
3. Real Estate

PRC Investor Network will further discuss each of these investment strategies below.

CDs and Money Market or High Yield Savings Accounts

For investors with low risk tolerance, and/or who are simply looking to maintain their money and protect it from inflation, CDs are one way to go in 2022. CDs with APYs of up to 2.20% are available as of March 2021, higher than Bankrate’s January prediction that they’d raise to 1.9% by the end of the year.

Craving more liquidity? Money market accounts may be the answer. Many money market accounts no longer offer competitive interest rates to regular savings accounts. However, if your bank does and you’re looking to play it safe with your money in 2022, they’re worth considering. Beware: these accounts generally require a high minimum balance.

If you don’t need the checking capabilities of a money market account, and if the interest rates are competitive, there’s nothing wrong with securing funds in a high-yield savings account. As of March 2022, some banks offer accounts with APYs of 1.85%.

The Stock Market

Stocks, exchange-traded funds, bonds, mutual funds, index funds, and options: however you invest in the stock market, there is always more risk involved than with CDs and the accounts described above. Of course, there’s also typically more reward.

More volatility isn’t a deterrent for more risk-tolerant investors. While the market goes up and down in the short-term, it trends upwards long-term. For those with financial goals further down the road, the stock market makes perfect sense for investing.

The standard recommendation when it comes to investing in the market is to have a portfolio that is 60% stocks and 40% bonds. Because 2019 was such a strong year for stocks, it wouldn’t be surprising if some investors found this proportion suddenly out of balance. Their stocks may make up 70% of their portfolio now, for example, with only 30% committed to bonds.

For people in this situation, early 2021 was a good time to rebalance a portfolio. Whether rebalancing or just dipping your toe in, take a look at diversifying as well. Healthcare, especially biotech, is seeing promising growth. The same goes for energy, especially in regards to sustainability. Many investors also look for companies that consistently pay good dividends, to offer some comfort in the volatile times that are likely ahead.

Real Estate

While real estate investment is typically more of a commitment than the market, the payoff is often more predictable. For example, demand for housing in big markets will keep rent high this year as the growing IT and healthcare industries continue to concentrate their presence where the most talent is found. Multifamily investing through crowdfunding platforms such as The PRC Investor Network, is one of the most sound investment strategies we can offer for accredited investors. The PRC Investor Network allows users to invest in funds backed by commercial real estate, and the PRC team thoroughly underwrites each offer with the investor in mind.

In other, slightly smaller markets, however, house prices have already peaked. For investors already in those markets, it’s time to strategize. More US cities in 2022 are also seeing more people able to pay high rents. This makes apartment buildings, or converting single-family homes into rental units, an attractive option.

Does converting and managing a rental property sound like too much work? REITs and other commercial real estate investment options allow you to reap the rewards of real estate investment without the work. If this sounds right for you, consider becoming a part of PRC’s Investor Network to make it happen. Pioneer Realty Capital can also make sure you make the most of commercial real estate tax benefits.

The Most Important Investment

These are just a few broad investment strategies for 2022, but they serve as an introduction to the road ahead. Ultimately, the most important investment someone can make is in themselves: consider goals, financial and otherwise, and take the steps necessary to get there.
