Columbus Multifamily Report

The Yardi Matrix Multifamily Housing report is out and the verdict is in:
Columbus’ Rent Expansion Surpasses the Nation
Employment Growth Slows, and
Investors Continue to Bet on Value-Add Opportunities.

In our observations, the Columbus rental market has strong rent growth, but also some resistance in older and outdated properties. Housing demand is very strong, overcoming many vacancy issues that are present in other markets.

The Columbus MSA multifamily investment remains a highly sought after asset by investors throughout the country. They are willing to pay a premium to enter the Columbus market. However investors have sharpened their focus and expectations regarding property conditions and operations as cost of debt has increased. In order to achieve a premium on market pricing, owners should expect a well-positioned property in the Columbus market to have an economic vacancy rate of 10% or less, and deferred maintenance should be limited based on the classification of the complex (A,B, or C).

This does not mean that multifamily housing assets won’t trade with some higher vacancy rates and deferred maintenance, but during this business cycle, we do not expect to see aggressive pricing demand for underperforming assets. Because of this dynamic, it is now more important to work with advisors if you feel your asset has unrealized growth opportunities, and to have an understanding of the market’s expectations in a new market cycle.

The SVN Wilson Commercial Group has over 50 years combined experience in the multifamily markets and has transacted over $200 Million in multifamily units in the Central Ohio markets. For more information send an email to seth.asman@svn.com.

Four Essential Qualities of a Highly Successful Commercial Real Estate Advisor

There’s a lot more to being a successful commercial real estate Advisor than just having a few good suits and spending a lot of time with a cell phone glued to your ear. While it starts with thinking of yourself as an Advisor instead of just a broker that gets a deal done and moves onto the next one, after closing thousands of transactions, we’ve identified four must-have qualities that set the best Advisors apart.

An Allergy to No
To a large extent, commercial real estate Advisors make their living by being told “no.” It can take hundreds or thousands of unsuccessful cold calls to get to a single paycheck. For most people, “no” is an ending. Successful Advisors, on the other hand, take a “no” as a reason to go ask another question – or ask another prospect. And they keep going until they hear “yes.”

An Add-Value Attitude
We deal with highly sophisticated clients. Traditional sales tricks won’t work on them, while transactions are rare enough that you also can’t simply show up and hope that business will fall in your pocket. With this in mind, exemplary Advisors know that the key to building relationships that turn into transactions is to continually add value to prospects. Great Advisors earn relationships and loyalty by continually helping their clients. Whether they’re sharing a great piece of information to open up a prospecting call, sharing important market information or helping a client to better manage their operating expenses, they put in the work in the near term to earn the fees in the long term.

An Ability to Find Wins
Commercial real estate negotiations are some of the most complex in the business world. Good Advisors keep their client’s interests at heart. The best Advisors also understand what the other side in the negotiation needs. That way, they can find issues that will allow that party to win while still giving their client what she needs to successfully consummate the transaction.

An Absolute Sense of Integrity
Here’s a shocker. You don’t need integrity to get into commercial real estate. You don’t even need it to make money in the field. Where you need it is if you want to stay in the industry.
Above and beyond simply being the right thing to do, Integrity serves two important business purposes. The first is that it keeps you out of court. In a business where everyone can afford legal representation, it makes no sense to play fast and loose. The second is that real integrity is the most powerful brand-building tool you have. As clients see proof of your ethics over a period of years, you earn their loyalty and their referral business. If they learn that you lack it, on the other hand, your brand becomes irreparably tarnished.
