Multi-Family Units

Reasons to Buy Multi-Family Units in Las Vegas, NV

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Have you always wanted to put your family in a mansion without the steep price tag? Maybe you enjoy having space, but just can’t afford to purchase a 15,000 square foot home. Las Vegas offers some of the best multi-family living situations in the country. If you have considered purchasing a unit in a multi-family home, now is the time to change that idea into a reality. Las Vegas offers some of the most reasonably priced multi-family units within the entire country.

Many families are concerned about moving to Las Vegas, and rightfully so. Las Vegas has a reputation for being a party city, also called the “sin city.” While this is a major selling point of Las Vegas, do not feel like your family’s values have to be diminished because of this commercial feature. Other families need to move to Las Vegas for job opportunities, and multi-family units can offer you a great environment to support one another in your family values.

Many families seek to buddy up with a family they already know or meet through social networking sites to do a multi-family home. It creates an affordable situation for everyone, in addition to a positive community atmosphere. If this sounds like your type of living situation, then you should contact a Las Vegas realtor today to discuss this possibility.

Multi-Family Units in Las Vegas, NV

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

The term multi-family encompasses apartments, duplexes, townhouses and condo’s. With March 2010 showing the median sales price in the Las Vegas area of $130,000.00 or $91.00 per square foot now is the time to buy. Many buildings or units are priced under the median price per square foot. Growth in the multi-family units is expected to continue through 2013 as Las Vegas has no new projects slated for completion. Add in the fact over 16,000 apartments were converted to condo’s. Multi-family units have been shown to be a good investment in Las Vegas as there are more people to rent than buy. This will yield more rental for the investor. Many multi-family units choices are now available in and around Las Vegas both on and off the strip.

Multi-family units are available with two and three bedrooms per unit or whole buildings with 8 bedrooms to 134 units which can be leased, time shared or rented. Units are available with 750 square feet to a spacious 5,000 plus square feet.

Amenities included with some multi-family buildings are pools, parks, carports, patio’s/balconies and vaulted ceilings. Many are close to bus stops, highways, shopping, casino’s, and major hotels.

Many buildings are foreclosure sales while others offer owner financing. Financing through FHA is available as long as certain criteria is met. The owner must reside in one of the units as a primary residence. Private financing, if available, is an excellent option. Or low interest rate financing is available through a bank with at least twenty percent down.

Multi Family Property in Las Vegas

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

While many markets located across the United States have been negatively impacted by falling housing prices, Las Vegas seems to have been among the hardest hit of them all.  While the median sales price in the Las Vegas area skyrocketed between 2004 and 2007, the bubble eventually burst.  The median housing price, which maxed out at over $300,000 in early 2007, has since fallen to less than $150,000.  While the housing prices have declined, they appear to have finally stabilized as housing prices have maintained around $150,000 for the past few quarters.

Just like condos and single family homes in the Las Vegas area, small multi-family properties have also fallen in value.  Investors and home buyers who are looking to purchase a quality multi-family property will have many options to choose from.  Also, due to the high rate of foreclosure and short sales in the Las Vegas area, there are many qualified individuals looking to rent an apartment unit.

Purchasing a multi-family property is always an excellent investment opportunity for anyone looking to build long-term wealth.  If you are able to afford a two or three unit property, you could possibly rent the units out at a level high enough to cover your entire mortgage payment.  This would then allow you to live essentially payment free.  With housing prices in the Las Vegas area at extremely low levels and with rents at high levels, purchasing a multi-family property that would allow you to cover your bills has never been easier.

Multi-Family Units in Las Vegas, NV Could Mean Immediate Revenue

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Las Vegas, Nevada is a city with many beautiful features. Las Vegas is a hot spot for fun and adventure. Multi-family units in Las Vegas, NV are considered a great choice for investments. Advantages are: Most homes already have tenants. Income starts right away. It is possible to fill open units quickly. If the owners want to live in the building, they have the option. There is less likely to be a chance for foreclosure in secured units. Residents are looking for alternatives to purchasing their own home.

When choosing the best homes, check the neighborhood. Does it look presentable? Would you want to raise a family there? If both answers are “yes,” this may be a good location. Benefits outweigh the risks of purchasing multi-family units in Las Vegas, NV. Keeping unit counts at four or below keeps them in residential status. Some owners treat the purchase as an investment and live in another home. The profits cover the mortgage and take care of the owners comfort needs. When living in a multi-family unit, there is always a chance of being on call to residents.

Good maintenance resources can actually eliminate the stress. Many multi-family units in Las Vegas, NV owners do not mind if their tenants contact a designated maintenance company. This takes the worry off the owner. A reputable maintenance company will not take advantage. They will be able to assess over the phone and make a service call as needed. Service contracts can be taken out which have a set rate per visit. This way there is not the chance of being taken advantage of. Check out the multi-family units and enjoy potential independence.
