At Croteau Real Estate Services we understand that when you invest in real estate you are putting your money into a long term investment that needs to offer you a return. There are a variety of ways we can help your real estate investment turn into a sizable return.

Appreciation of Value

Generally property appreciates, and becomes more valuable year over year. Even after a down year, the long term investment is often in the positive. The contributing factors may include changes in the market, available land scarcity, increased traffic, and property upgrades. There is a science behind finding investment properties that will appreciate in value, but with our help, you can be very comfortable making this decision. At Croteau, our staff is well versed and highly suited to help you find a property that will appreciate over time.

Income Properties

Whether you want to owner/operate or have a property management company operate your income property for you, this is one factor worth considering when finding the right property for you. Enlisting the assistance of a leasing agent or management company will cut into the income your property generates, and therefore should be weighed before an income generation model can be projected. While this generally refers to an apartment or office building, cash flow can also be generated from well-run car washes, storage units, virtual office suits, meeting and convention spaces, and rental homes.

Other Real Estate Related Income

There are a wide variety of ancillary ways to generate income at your investment property. For apartment building owners having a pay-for-use laundry is one example of ways to cash in on profits. At multi-dwelling units placing vending machines or offering third party services to tenants where you receive an incentive is another way to increase your profit margins. These types of real estate related incomes operate as mini-businesses within your apartment or office building, and can help offset costs, and even turn profits.
