How Different Property Types Can Benefit Your Portfolio

Multi-Family Properties

Investing in multi-family properties can potentially give your portfolio stability through moderate income variability due to lease term and repricing ability. These properties also offer high potential income growth. 

Industrial Properties

Investing in industrial properties  can potentially provide high income stability from a contractual lease structure. These properties also offer moderately high potential income growth, assisted by the commonality of annual rent escalations. 

Medical Offices

Investing in medical offices diversifies your portfolio and can potentially provide high income stability. These properties offer moderately high potential income growth, assisted by common annual rent escalations.

Student Housing

Investing in student housing can provide moderate income with variability due to the lease term and ability to reprice per academic school year. These properties offer moderately high potential income growth.  

Self Storage

Investing in self-storage properties can provide moderate income stability with repricing ability and stability during market fluctuations. These properties also offer high potential income growth from daily market repricing. 

Essential Retail

Investing in commercial retail can potentially provide high income stability through the contractual lease structure. These properties offer low potential income growth because lease escalations are uncommon. 

Senior Housing

Investing in senior housing can provide anywhere from moderate to high income stability due to needs-based demand. These properties also offer high potential income growth and a staggered lease rollover.

Hospitality

Investing in hospitality properties offers low chance of stability, due to daily fluctuations in occupancy and room rates. The properties also offer very high potential for potential income growth and daily market repricing. 

Commercial Offices 

Investing in commercial offices diversifies your portfolio and can potentially provide income stability. These properties offer moderately high potential income growth, assisted by common annual rent escalations.
