Dream Home Investor

client profile

Dream Home Investor

demographics:

  • Mostly late in their working years
  • 50-60
  • Middle-Upper Class
  • Works a full time job but is looking toward retirement

characteristics:

  • Retirement is in sight and this investor is planning for it by purchasing their retirement home early to lock in today’s pricing and service the note in the meantime.
  • Retirement is in sight and this investor is planning for it by purchasing their retirement home early to lock in today’s pricing and service the note in the meantime.
  • Knows the rental payment may not equal the mortgage payment, but is willing to invest in the difference
  • Wants the home they want more than the return on the investment

concerns:

  • Someone will damage the home
  • Maintenance on their dream home is not exactly what they want or how they want it done
  • The home sits vacant or isn’t cared for
  • The neighbors may think less of them for failure to care for the home
  • The neighbors may think less of them for the behavior of the residents.

how 1836pm strives to overcome these obstacles:

  • Make sure they understand that to be successful, they will have to differentiate between running the home as a business vs. living in it at a future time
  • Communicate the concept of “Like for Like” so not to expect upgrades or custom work until they’re living in it and can update it however they want
  • Reinforce that no tenant will care for their dream home like they would, but just about anything can be repaired
  • Ensure they know that the more custom the home, the harder to repair and rent—and the less they will make for their investment. It’s ok to not make money but it’s not okay to be unaware
  • Make sure they know they need to put significant money down on a luxury home to get close to rent meeting the monthly cost
