Analysis of Florida’s Investment Opportunities

Florida’s property market has collapsed, but with the worst seemingly over, there is a true short term opportunity to capitalize on America’s distressed Real Estate market.

It is impossible to time the absolute bottom but signs are starting to point upwards on a month over month basis, which signifies the time to buy. For this reason, USA property is considered by many to be an extremely lucrative form of investment for 2010. Prices are being held steady and new investors have the opportunity to buy into the market.
The favourable rate of exchange between the dollar and sterling, as well as the euro, also makes the USA a really exciting investment opportunity, offering buyers good value for their outlay.

With careful analysis of the rental markets nationally in the US, and also by identifying markets achieving maximum payable yields through private sector rental, there is great opportunity to capitalize on both the current need for rental property and the obvious abundance of tenants.

Latest estimates from the US Office of Statistics put the number of rental households in the United States at 36million, and growing. The combined displacement of foreclosed homeowners, and buyers who have no chance of securing mortgage finance at the loan to values they require for the foreseeable future, have in a very short space of time become the new US rental market for the medium to long term

Though Florida has been one of the hardest-hit markets in the US, large amounts of distressed and repossessed property and a sharp decrease in prices appear to have brought transaction levels back to life. December was the 16th month in a row that year-on-year resale numbers increased.

Hundreds of investors are hoping to buy tenanted distressed property away from the tourist areas of Florida; areas where there is a strong local rental demand, which provide investors with a more secure income than in areas that have been hit by the recession’s decline in tourism, as they are finding that holiday homes come with high ownership fees and the tourist rental market simply doesn’t exist in great volume at the moment.

Our featured investment opportunities differ vastly from most overseas property deals currently on offer.

The stereotypical overseas property buyer generally targets opportunities with an emotional and lifestyle feel-good factor heavily attached to it.  This generally means that the value of the opportunity is diluted by strong, emotional preferences and divided priorities.

Most overseas property agents will ask potential investors the question “What are you looking to buy, a holiday home or an investment?”, to which the answer is usually, “a bit of both”. 

In the current overseas property market, it is difficult to find a good solution to both requirements together, but the huge demand in the market has led to holiday home developers fabricating an “investment spin” in their marketing material in order to meet the demands of the masses.

The term “emerging markets” has fuelled further development and as established markets are exposed when supply exceeds demand several times over, in many cases, the most disappointing factor is the rental income achieved from such investments.

You cannot spend “capital appreciation”, nor can it pay your bills, mortgage and maintenance costs, and therefore, the ongoing profit and loss of any investment is one of the most important factors.

For example, the Venetian Place investment opportunity has the same characteristics as a domestic buy-to-let investment.  The only major differences are that the property is situated in the USA and that it is a cash purchase.

Many investors may initially be put off with the concept of cash, but if we could wind the clocks back and buy a property in London in the 70’s we would no doubt do so.  There is no better time to “buy equity” in the USA, especially in properties where your tenants are already in place.

The average yields from residential Lets in Orlando have traditionally been low due to the high prices and large ongoing costs, but with the recent slump in the market, healthy yields can be achieved.

So why are American citizens not buying up stock and why are these properties being sold on the international market? 
The US property market is more depressed than we may realise.
In October last year, two of the biggest banks, Citibank and Bank of America stopped offering mortgages altogether, and smaller lenders soon followed suit.

Since 9/11, there has been a huge shift in residential ownership preferences in the US.  Previously, owners wanted the largest property possible, now the number one priority is security and many communities have become gated and many properties have been converted into condominiums. This has also led to working class families selling their larger homes in less desirable areas and moving into condominiums in more desirable zones.  Most cannot afford to buy as most cannot sell their homes.

Venetian Place is set in a middle-class neighborhood close to Orlando International Airport and the Theme Parks of Disney World.  Many of the residents work at the airport as pilots, security guards or flight attendants and also many are Disney employees; all of whom must undergo extensive background screening.

The properties are way under-valued and discounted by 60-65%, as the developer looks to release equity from these properties to buy land for further development.  Land in the region is currently priced at an all time low which makes it worth-while for the developer to now sell these properties below building costs. 

Previous selling prices can be validated just by looking at the property tax due on each property.  Property tax is 1.2% to 1.5% of the property value per year, as assessed by the local council.
The ratable value of these properties is over 3% of the current selling prices.
Furthermore, tax assessments from the Orange County Appraiser’s website are available, which not only show how property tax is calculated, but also show that the units were all sold at way higher prices fairly recently. 
The properties are FHA approved, which is a national scheme to offer high levels of finance to first time buyers in USA, giving investors an excellent future exit strategy.

These are fully tenanted properties, providing net yields of  8 – 11%, located in a residential area of Orlando, where there is a strong local rental demand and therefore providing investors with a more secure income, as tenants typically are professionals.
(Orlando leases tend to be for periods of 12 months, renewable).

Currently the properties are being sold by the original developer, a major developer with around 15 sites in Orlando, Palm Beach and Miami.
This development was built in 1996, and refurbished 2007.

The main points which separate this opportunity from others are:

  • Residential Buy-to-Let investment
  • Tenants already in place, delivering NET yields of 8 to 11%, giving owners an immediate income
  • Buy with cash now with the opportunity to finance when the market recovers
  • Prestigious and sought-after location, the number one tourist destination in the world.
  • 60-65% below market value
  • Good tenant profile
  • An established on-site property management service available (optional, at 10% of annual rent)
  • All closing and legal costs included in the purchase price*
  • Large local demand (there is a waiting list of prospective tenants)
  • Built by one of the most successful and reputable builders in Florida
  • FHA approved properties – excellent exit strategy via re-sales when the market recovers; in many cases, buyers being the existing tenants

Services provided by the Management Company @ 10% of the annual rent:

  • Collecting the rent every month, issuing payment of HOA and Tax fees, and forwarding balance to owners.
  • Taking care of maintenance issues which includes:
    1. Minor faults such as replacing a light bulb or a minor paint over will be done at no charge to the landlord.
    2. Major issues such as a full repaint or major plumbing issues will be quoted and repaired subject to the landlord’s approval.
  • Managing the collection of any arrears cheques, if they arise, and worst case scenario, managing an eviction, if necessary.

Additional services which can be used, with or without the management charge being paid, are as follows:

  • Finding a replacement tenant at a cost of the first months rent.
  • If the tenant has maintenance issues the developer’s office will refer them back to the landlord to discuss the problem, the landlord can then either instruct the onsite office to obtain a quote for the works on his behalf, or any other maintenance company, and instruct accordingly.

Purchasing for Personal Use
This can be arranged by simply purchasing a vacant unit, or by purchasing a pre-tenanted unit and awaiting expiry of the existing lease.
