Nautilus Realty & Management


Investors

Investors have completely different needs from people who purchase a home for their personal use.  Investors are looking for properties based on their long or short term financial goals.  Cash flow, potential rent, current and future market conditions, property taxes, and insurance are all factors that an investor will consider.

Nautilus Realty & Management specializes in investment properties.  We can evaluate the properties you are interested in, take pictures, estimate overall condition and estimate future expenses, estimate the cost to prepare the property for lease or resale, estimate rent range, coordinate all work needed, market the property, and manage it.  When it is time to sell, we will list the property and sell it.  Most investors never even walk into their properties.  We handle their properties from beginning to end.

Below are some tools that can be very helpful. Try the cash flow calculator.  Also is an Investors Guide that can help newcomers.  Download the list of foreclosures sales for Bay County.  Please call for list of pre-foreclosure sales and other bargains.

Definitions:

Equity Dividend Rate (cash-on-cash return): Expresses the first-year relationship between the BTCF(Before Tax Cash Flow) and invested capital. Effectively, it shows the return to an investor on his or her cash investment in a property. Normally, equity dividend rates range between 3% and 15%. The higher the rate, the greater the return to the investor.

Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR): The purpose of this ratio is to determine how much the NOI produced by a property could decrease and still permit the mortgage payment to be made. Lenders generally specify a minimum DCR (such as 1.20) that they require the property meet during the first year of a loan term. The higher the ratio, the less risk to the lender.

Operating Expense Ratio: This ratio is designed to reveal the percentage of EGI (effective gross income) required to pay operating expenses. The lower the operating expense ratio, the less risk faced by the investor. Operating expenses range from 25% to 80% of EGI, depending on the type of property and the quality of the management of the property. The lower the operating expense ratio, the happier both investor and lender.

Cash Break-even Ratio: This ratio is used by both investors and lenders to measure total cash charges against PGI (Potential Gross Income). This ratio normally varies between 60% and 80%. The lower the ratio, the greater the cash return to the investor.
