Now Is the Time to Analyze Your Real Estate Portfolio and Set Your 2025 Goals: How the Shaina McAndrews Team Can Help
As the year draws to a close, it's the perfect time to evaluate your real estate portfolio and start planning for the year ahead. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, setting clear goals for 2025 is key to staying on track with your real estate investments and maximizing your returns. The real estate market is constantly evolving, and taking a proactive approach now can put you in a strong position for the coming year.
At the Shaina McAndrews Team, we specialize in helping our clients assess their real estate portfolios, set achievable goals, and create a roadmap for success. If you're ready to take your real estate game to the next level in 2025, here's why now is the time to get started and how we can help.
Why Analyzing Your Real Estate Portfolio Now Is Essential
As the year ends, reviewing your current real estate portfolio is crucial to understanding where you stand and where you want to go. Whether you're an investor, a homeowner with rental properties, or someone considering making real estate a more significant part of your financial strategy, taking stock of your assets now will allow you to start 2025 with a clear plan.
1. Reviewing Performance
The end of the year is the perfect time to evaluate the performance of your real estate investments. Take a close look at your properties to assess:
Rental income: Are your rental properties generating the expected income, or have there been vacancies and unexpected expenses?
Market value: How has the value of your properties appreciated or depreciated in 2024? Have there been changes in the local market that impact your portfolio?
Cash flow: Are your investments cash-flow positive, or are there areas where you’re losing money that need addressing?
ROI (Return on Investment): What’s the return on your investment properties? Are you meeting your target returns, or do you need to make adjustments to improve profitability?
Understanding how well your real estate portfolio has performed this year will help you set more informed goals for 2025.
2. Identifying Opportunities for Growth
As you evaluate your current portfolio, you may find opportunities for growth. Maybe you’re in a position to:
Expand by purchasing additional properties in areas with high growth potential.
Refinance a mortgage to take advantage of lower interest rates or reduce monthly payments.
Diversify your investments by exploring new property types, such as multi-family units, commercial real estate, or short-term rentals.
At the Shaina McAndrews Team, we can help you identify growth opportunities in the Greater Philadelphia area. With our deep knowledge of the local market, we can offer insights on emerging neighborhoods, upcoming development projects, and trends that might be beneficial for your portfolio.
3. Addressing Underperforming Assets
Not every property will always perform as expected. Now is the time to take a hard look at underperforming assets in your portfolio and decide whether it's time to:
Sell properties that aren’t meeting your financial goals.
Reinvest in existing properties by making improvements to boost rental income or property value.
Repurpose properties, such as converting long-term rentals into short-term rentals if the market supports it.
Our team can provide the guidance you need to determine whether selling or reinvesting is the best course of action for underperforming assets. We can help you evaluate your options and connect you with contractors, property managers, or potential buyers to help you move forward.
Setting Clear Real Estate Goals for 2025
Once you’ve taken stock of your current portfolio, the next step is to set clear, actionable goals for 2025. Goal setting is critical to your long-term success, whether you’re looking to grow your investments, increase your cash flow, or expand into new areas of real estate.
1. Grow Your Portfolio
If your goal for 2025 is to expand your real estate holdings, now is the time to start planning. Consider:
Market trends: Are there emerging neighborhoods or property types that present good investment opportunities? For instance, areas undergoing revitalization or close to new transit lines can provide great long-term returns.
Financing: Do you have access to the capital needed to expand your portfolio, or is it time to meet with a lender to discuss financing options for 2025?
Leverage: Are there underutilized assets in your portfolio that could be leveraged to finance new purchases?
The Shaina McAndrews Team can help you research the local market, identify potential investment properties, and assist you in securing the financing needed to grow your portfolio in 2025.
2. Increase Cash Flow
If cash flow is your priority, we can work with you to:
Increase rental income: We’ll help you evaluate market rents in your area and determine if it’s time to raise rent or make improvements that justify a higher rental rate.
Minimize vacancies: We can assist with finding and vetting quality tenants to reduce vacancies and improve your cash flow.
Optimize expenses: Our team can help you identify ways to reduce operating costs, from property management fees to maintenance expenses, to improve your bottom line.
Cash flow is key to long-term financial stability, and with the right strategies in place, you can make 2025 a year of increased profitability.
3. Diversify Your Investments
Diversifying your real estate investments can help protect your portfolio from market fluctuations and open up new revenue streams. In 2025, consider:
Commercial real estate: Expanding into commercial properties, such as office buildings or retail spaces, could provide a more stable income stream than residential rentals.
Short-term rentals: With platforms like Airbnb continuing to grow, converting properties into short-term rentals could help you tap into a lucrative market—especially in a city like Philadelphia that draws millions of visitors each year.
Real estate development: If you're interested in taking a more hands-on approach, developing your own property or investing in real estate development projects could offer a high return on investment.
Our team can help you explore your options for diversifying your investments and provide the support you need to execute on these new strategies.
