What's the worst thing a real estate investor can do?
💸 Buying too expensive ! This is true for a purchase/renovation/resale transaction, it's true for a rental investment.
This is why market research is one of the most important steps to take, even when investing in a city you know. Why? Because three main criteria must be taken into account: location, condition of the property, and its size.
⚠️ So there isn't one market, but several. The Apartment vs. House market, 2-bedroom Apartment, 2-bedroom Apartment to Renovate, etc. These are examples of sub-markets with very different prices.
I want to make a rental investment in 2023, but I don't know my market
The first step for any investor is to know their market, so they can assess the opportunities that arise: what is the right price to buy? how much can I rent for? what will be the profitability of my investment?
Prices and rents depend primarily on three criteria: location, surface area, and condition. Other criteria are actually secondary (terrace, sunlight, elevator, etc.).
The lasso tool of Market Explorer allows you to make a precise selection of properties similar to your investment and to calculate:
- the median price per m2
- the median rent per m2
- gross rental profitability
You can then study several neighborhoods to determine the area that meets your purchasing and profitability criteria.
I have just renovated an apartment and I need to know the rents before renting it out.
You already own one or more properties that you have rented out. You have recently renovated these properties. The rent before renovation therefore has nothing to do with the rent after renovation, especially in a market where the PEB and thermal performance of a property are increasingly determining factors. Market Explorer allows you to filter on renovated apartments (or houses), and to know the average rents according to the location of your property and the surface area.
I want to invest in coliving and I need figures to establish a strategy
Coliving is on the rise. It allows tenants to access high-quality apartments in desirable locations while reducing their common expenses, which are, by definition, shared. For investors, it offers a higher rental yield thanks to generally higher rents for smaller spaces.
So how do we proceed?
- establish the price per m2 for your purchase (e.g. single-family house in Uccle) based on the number of bedrooms/surface areas and its condition (average, to be renovated, etc.).
- establish rents for areas of 15-20m2 in good condition or renovated in the same area as your purchase
- calculate the number of rents received, rental vacancies, etc. you will obtain your rental yield.
Market Explorer allows you to obtain prices and rents based on the type and condition of the surface in just a few clicks.
I have a project to renovate, build and then resell a single-family home.
You want to buy a house, renovate it, and then live in it for a few years before perhaps selling it again. To ensure you're making a sound investment, you need to get accurate figures based on the property you're renovating.
- establish the price of the house to be renovated: allows you to make an offer at the right price, and avoid making a “love at first sight” offer above the market.
- establish the price of the house after renovation: allows you to establish the added value in the event of resale.
- analyze market trends: will your home increase in value?
- Obtain quotes to establish the cost of renovation: allows you to establish whether your operation is a good investment compared to the purchase and resale price.
Example: You want to buy a house advertised at €390,000 in Tervuren, measuring 140m². After renovation, its living space will be 180m².
- Market Explorer allows you to establish a price per m2 of €2,200/m2 or €308,000 before renovation.
- then, established a price per m2 of 2900€/m2 after renovation, i.e. 522,000€ by gaining 40m2 not previously habitable.
- The house is located in Tervuren, the price of which is increasing by 3% each year.
- your renovation costs are around €200,000.
Your capital gain is then 522,000-200,000 = 322,000€, which is barely higher than the market price (309,000€) but which is well below the asking price (390,000€) and which does not take into account registration fees and various costs.
You then have all the figures in hand to judge your investment.
