General questions
At RealVantage, our opportunities are categorised into three investment strategies: Core, Value-Add and Opportunistic. These are categorised in accordance with the risk and return profile of the project.
Core opportunities cater to conservative investors looking to generate stable income with very low risk. Core assets typically require very little asset management and are typically occupied by tenants with strong credit and on long-term leases.
Value-Add opportunities are associated with moderate risk. Examples of such opportunities include acquiring under-performing assets, value-adding to them before divesting. These buildings often have occupancy issues, management problems, deferred maintenance or a combination of all three. These investments require substantial asset management to extract the value.
Opportunistic opportunities are the riskiest of all real estate investment strategies. Opportunistic opportunity investors take on relatively complicated projects and the returns tend to be back-end loaded. Some examples of opportunistic investment include ground-up developments, acquiring an empty building, land development and repositioning a building from one use to another. Opportunistic properties often have little to no cash flow at acquisition but have the potential to produce a tremendous amount of cash flow when the value-added activities have been completed.
