I published an article this spring on the BiggerPockets real estate investing blog recently which was reprinted in Realty411 discussing minimizing your downside risk by investing in high-quality properties. I’ve deemed this type of real estate investment, “Blue-Chip” because I believe some of the same fundamentals apply whether one is investing in equities or real estate. I’ve noticed personally that my high-quality homes held up well during the recent housing crisis as these tenants were better equipped to whether the economic storm. Also these homes were located in primarily owner occupied neighborhoods where the impact of foreclosures was light.
The inverse, of course, is also true. Homes on the very bottom were devastated by foreclosures, high vacancy, unemployment, and ultimately crime. I believe investors who are seeking alpha can achieve it through high-quality properties available today at deeply discounted prices. The article seems more timely now than it did then. Enjoy.
