A recent apartment acquisition here resulted from the sale of 10 units in the Bay Area and doing an exchange into a total of 85 Multi-Family units.
Basically the reason why this investor made this move is because you get a lot more units with a lot more upside and cash flow when you invest in Apartment units in the Sacramento area
So if you’re a Bay Area Investor with property you’d like to sell and exchange for more units in the Sacramento Area, you’ll be joining a few others that have done the same thing.
If you are worried about Property Management because we are a couple of hours drive away from your home, rest easy. Our Property Management Company, Haven Properties is here make your life easier as an investor.

I know some investors, especially new investors, would like to purchase a Duplex for sale here in the Sacramento area but get discouraged and hesitant after they’ve seen a few of them. The reason it seems, is they need a lot of work to bring them up to a decent condition because most of them are over 30 years old.
There are those Sellers that have done very little, if anything, to improve them much less keep up with the ongoing maintenance. This isn’t always the case but it’s pretty common.
Those Sacramento Duplexes for sale that are updated/upgraded get top dollar with multiple offers in most cases. People forget that construction just about stopped completely in 2008 and continued up until just recently when builders finally ramped up construction of new homes.
What they haven’t built here in large numbers for many years are “Duplexes”.
Since they haven’t I believe there’s a major opportunity for the smart investor. It’s true even if you are a beginner in Residential Rental Real Estate such as Duplexes. Why…? Because Rents are on the rise with the increase in population and not enough housing stock.
There are many good deals out there in my opinion but you have to also be willing to update/upgrade a unit to make it work. These are long term investments and my advice is to fix them up.
I have a great example here for your review. We recently closed a Duplex deal at 10823-10825 Alicante, Rancho Cordova. We kept the tenant on the left side, cleaned up and enhanced their landscaping front and back to add some utility value. We did raise their rent about $200 more per month because they were not at market.
On the right side…? Well we did a “make over”.
Below I have two videos that I did for the owner who contracted with one of our vendors to fix up the right side. One is a “before” video and the other one is the “after”
The first one shows how it looked before… I am narrating and describing what I’m suggesting he do to get it rent ready.
Below is what it looked like BEFORE….
Below is what it looked like AFTER…
Let me know what you think. We had a duplex close escrow just around the corner for $320,000 and it was in worse condition than this one here.
If you are hesitant about purchasing a property that needs work and you live out of the area…? If you purchase through me, I’ll help you run the project at no extra cost and send you updated videos as the progress occurs.
We then will also manage your investment through our Property Management Company, Haven Properties. We’re just a telephone call or text message away from helping you find the right investment.
In the mean time…?
Make it a Great Day…!

Check out this graphic from the California Association of Realtors.
Back Yard Landscaping is important because some of these people also rent as well. While this graphic applies to Home Buyers, trust me as a property manager and investor with 35 years of experience, don’t ignore the back yard for your renters.
A back yard with patios and landscaping is a cheap addition to “living space”. With the great weather we have here, it makes sense to give the people who rent from you more value don’t you think…?
So if you want more money from your rental investment, fix up the back yard and watch how much your tenants appreciate it because they will pay you back with higher rents.
Click here for a picture of the back yard landscaping of a Duplex we manage for an investor that took our advice. In a few more years the shrubs around this yard will provide a lot more shade, privacy and of course more value if they ever decide to sell.
That is because they get more rent then other properties like this that do not have this upgrade.

Surrounding Suburbs, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville Affected too.
We’ve been experiencing Rental Rate Increases for a long time here in the Sacramento Region. This includes not only Sacramento, but the surrounding communities as well, such as Elk Grove, Roseville, Woodland, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Lincoln, Fair Oaks, and Carmichael to name a few.
The Sacramento Bee has a story today regarding Rent Rate Increases. They are primarily talking about the Downtown/Midtown area which has experienced a “renaissance” because of the development in and around the Golden One Center.
Sacramento Rent Increase Rates Highest in the State of California
The Sacramento Midtown Area has been very popular with the younger generation and some seniors because of the proximity to jobs, entertainment and restaurants.
As I have said in the past you almost have to “know somebody inside” to be able to get a decent rental these days.
To give you an idea of how strong the rental market is, we seem to average about 5 applications for every property we advertise.
An example of what I am talking about…? As of today, July 26, 2017, here’s a short list of a couple of Duplex apartments being advertised by our Property Management Company with pending applications we are processing now.
Note to Duplex Investors or for that matter, any Residential Real Estate Investors from Single Family Homes up to Apartment complexes. You’ll have several applications to rent if you decide to invest in the Sacramento area.
Until they start to build more Apartments and Homes this trend will continue given the great economy we have going at this time.
If you’re thinking of buying/investing in the Sacramento area, please call me at 916-203-1260 or send me a note at favinger@rwnetwork.com and let me help you find the best deal out there today.
If you’re an owner now and thinking of selling, contact me and let’s take a look at your investment property. I can help you get the most out of your investment with some ideas you might not have considered.

Rents Are Up “Big Time”…So Start Your Search Early ..!
If you’re a Landlord/Investor in the Sacramento Area and recently tried to lease or rent up an apartment you were probably shocked at the responses. Old news to us in the Residential Investment and Property Management business.
Rents are up so much in the Sacramento Area and supply so low, if you’re a person looking to rent, you’d better start your search very early and have any credit issues resolved first, because it is a “landlords market”.
You may not have heard but Landlords and Property Managers are experiencing “multiple” applications for just about every unit that comes up.
It doesn’t matter what kind of property we’re talking about either. Our Property Management company has so many people seeking a Home/Apartment to rent that we have set up a “showing/viewing” schedule each week posted on the website instead of making specific appointment times when prospective tenants call.
On most occasions now days we have several prospective tenants come to those showings and many of them will bring a completed application as well.
With an improving economy with lots of jobs and a lack of supply, even paying more for the investment won’t necessarily be a bad thing.
Call me at 916-203-1260 or drop a note to favinger@rwnetwork.com and we’ll see if we can’t place you into an investment that works for you.
Now… If you are a prospective tenant with good income…? May I suggest you think about buying because it will be better for you in the long term. Call me and we’ll see if we can’t get you “pre-qualified” with the various loan programs that are available to you.
In the mean time…?
Make it a Great Day..!

While I specialize and look for Sacramento Duplexes for sale all the time, I have taken notice now for a while there is a thirst in this market for Sacramento Area Duplexes in great areas like Fair Oaks that are fixed up and renovated.
Not only do you get top dollar when you sell, you can place a new tenant in the units at much higher than their past history.
Case in point is the Duplex you see below. I got a “google street view” of the property taken last year that is embedded here so you’ll be able to zoom in and check out the neighborhood if you want to.
Looks like the roof might have had some issues and they fenced it off for security purposes while they made their repairs.
It consists of a 3 bedroom/2 bath/2 car garage on one side and a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom/1 car garage on the other. It Listed at $399,000.
There are only a couple of pictures of the property in the MLS which is a shame, but you can see they did fix up a kitchen pretty nicely.
This property came on the market about 3 days ago, had 5 offers and is now a Pending Sale.
If you are thinking of Buying or Selling a Sacramento Duplex, Four-Plex, a small Apartment complex or even a Single Family Rental, please call or “text” me today at 916-203-1260 or drop me an email at: favinger@rwnetwork.com

It’s a Landlord’s Market Right Now – And It’s only February – Now is the best time to buy .
Have you thought about Investing in the Sacramento Area’s Single Family Home Rental market, or maybe a Duplex, perhaps a Four Plex or even a Small Apartment Complex…? If you have, then let me show you how smart you would be if you were to buy in the Sacramento market today.
Usually this time of year when a tenant moves out and we have to get it re-rented it’s kind of slow and takes a little longer. Not this year though.
Our Property Management Company, Haven Properties has leased up in the month of January approximately 10 units.
That inventory included Single Family Home rentals in Folsom, Citrus Heights, a couple of 4 plex apartments in Rancho Cordova and several Duplex rentals in Citrus Heights, Sacramento and Fair Oaks.
1089 Kantne Way, Folsom – Recently Leased up for $2,300 + Tenant Pays Folsom Utilities
Want more examples…?
Earlier today we had a gentlemen walk into our office with paper work to support his application that he had completed “on-line” at HavenRents.com.
We’ve had people call us regarding properties we’ve leased up over a month ago that are still on-line in various website portals that we syndicate to.
Another lady called me about 10 minutes ago as I write this looking for a house while she’s been living in a hotel for 3 months. I told her what I’ve told a lot of people trying to find a decent rental…“you have to almost know someone inside to find a decent place to rent.”
Bottom line, if you own a rental property now and you haven’t raised the rents in a while because you are worried about losing a tenant and not being able to re-rent again quickly…?
Forget about it because, mostly likely, the current tenant will stay unless they can’t afford it. The reason…? Once they start looking around, they will see they have a really good deal even if they have to pay a little more.
So… if you’re thinking of Investing in a Duplex, a Four-Plex, a Single Family Home rental or even a small apartment complex call me today and let me help you get the right Real Estate Investment for you.
Interest rates are low if you need financing. If you have a lot of $$$ in a low performing 401K, you might want to consider Rental Real Estate to see if it would perform better.
Please call or email me and let me show you how investing in the Residential Rental Market might be the best thing you ever did.
In the Mean Time…?
Make it a Great Day…!

Just passing on an article and information I just received.
If you’re thinking of getting into the Multi-Family Housing market as an Investor and you’re new at it, I’m sure you’ve thought a lot and hopefully have done some research. You can always contact me for more information and set up a time for a free consultation.
The Sacramento Apartment Market is one of the top 20 in the nation and is still affordable especially compared to some markets in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In our market we find it’s hard to find a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment unit with lots of amenities for under $1,000 per month.
To get an idea of what we have for rent go to HavenRents.com and you’ll get a sense of what the prices are for various types of properties we currently have available. You can also go to the “rentals page” here on this site.
I received and thought I’d share a 2017 market projection from CBRE, a large real estate investment company that works in Retail, Office, Industrial and of course Multi-family projects through out the the country.
CLICK HERE for that article and go to Page 31 for their “Multi-Family” projections. I think you’ll appreciate their findings and conclusions. It looks to me like the Sacramento Region’s Multi-Family market should remain strong. I think this remains especially true in the smaller multi-family units, such as Duplexes, Four-Plexes or small apartment complexes. Why…? Because they haven’t built any in the last several years. Sacramento Duplexes/Four-plexes for sale don’t stay on the market very long.
So if you have stumbled on this blog site and are thinking of investing in the Residential Real Estate Market in the Sacramento area please contact me at anytime. We specialize in the Sales and Management of Single Family Homes, Duplexes, Tri-plexes, Four-plexes and small to medium sized apartment complexes.
In the Mean Time…?
Make it a Great Day…!
