Top of the market (A+ institutional construction) is getting a little frothy in the urban core and suburban markets throughout the nation. Spread between the A property and C property is flatting on the cap rates. Coming out of the 2008 recession the A’s recovered first and then the B’s and C’s followed. The cap rates between the different property types have compressed tremendously. Mike gives his insight on why his group is focusing on the “top of the work force housing” space.

To promote affordable housing, some older properties may have an income restricted LURA. A LURA is a LAND USE RESTRICTION AGREEMENT. It runs with the deed. This recorded regulatory agreement may restrict the amount of rent you can charge a tenant, based on the tenant’s income. If you rehab a property and are expecting to increase rents to justify the cost…a LURA may prevent you from being able to raise rents in the future. Make sure you ask the seller’s agent if the property has a LURA.
