Investment begins
before acquisition.
A property becomes an investment because of the decisions surrounding it — not simply because it was purchased with investment intent. Initio brings a property-level perspective to residential investment decisions.
-
01
Acquire
- What is being purchased?
- At what basis?
- In what condition?
- Against what market?
- For what objective?
-
02
Evaluate
- Current condition.
- Comparable properties.
- Potential work.
- Estimated scope.
- Market positioning.
- Rental considerations.
- Exit considerations.
-
03
Improve
Where improvement is part of the strategy, the work itself becomes a business decision.
- What is necessary?
- What is optional?
- What should happen first?
- What could materially change the property's function or positioning?
-
04
Lease
For owners considering rental use, decisions may include:
- market positioning;
- property readiness;
- tenant-facing condition;
- pricing;
- lease timing; and
- ongoing property strategy.
-
05
Hold
Not every asset needs immediate action.
Sometimes the correct strategy is disciplined ownership.
-
06
Exit
Disposition requires another set of decisions:
- condition;
- preparation;
- timing;
- pricing;
- tax and financial considerations to be discussed with the client's appropriate professional advisers; and
- market execution.
Begin with the objective.
