Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

This value-add strategy in investment usually has a higher risk, but it also yields higher returns. As that’s the case, we will give you an overview of what value-add real estate is and how it works, so you’ll know whether or not it’s something that would interest you.
Value-add is one of the four broad categories in which all private real estate investments are grouped. The three other types are:
There are real and significant risk involved in value-add properties which often requires significant renovations and/or rebuilding renovations like property enlargement, capital improvements, structural repairs and refinishing.
Repurposing construction works often involve some extensive changes like major overhaul or conversion into a property for a different use which brings with them higher costs and higher risk (e.g. future market once renovations complete).
Less intensive projects like increasing the size of the property, replacing fixtures and building systems, or cosmetic upgrades carry lower risks than full overhauls or conversion projects which change the use of the building known as ‘adaptive reuse’ and these kinds of projects carry considerably more risk.
Further, risks become higher for real estate investments in secondary or even tertiary markets.
However, the potential gains are also very high. Value-add was, and still is the favoured strategy for raising and deploying capital.
Value-add strategies have become increasingly popular. Many real estate investors must create value today to gain higher returns, which prompts the higher attractiveness of value-add property.
Essentially, value-add assets can be acquired today for more attractive costs precisely because they are perceived as having a higher risk.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to see whether or not this strategy will work for you.
