REAL ESTATE INVESTING FOR BEGINNERS

Rental Apartments

Apartment complexes are categorized into Asset Classes A through D, with Class A representing newer, well-situated properties and Class D indicating older, less-favorably located ones. Classes B and C fall somewhere in the middle. Investment opportunities within these classes are typically identified as core, core plus, or value-add. Core properties are well-maintained for their age and operate efficiently. Core plus properties are in good condition but have room for operational improvements. Value-add opportunities consist of properties that require renovations to enhance their worth. For detailed definitions, please refer to our real estate terms section.
