The most successful investors know that it is best to allocate investment across several asset classes whose returns are not completely correlated with each other.  Most of them have assets in cash, equities (stocks), debt instruments (bonds) and real estate.  The latter asset class, real estate, is frequently under-represented in investors’ portfolios, but real estate adds an important element of stability in an investor’s returns, owing to the remarkable stability of real estate appreciation over time compared to other asset classes. 

Real estate has been under-represented because good property investment vehicles have not been easily available.  For many investors, their home has been their main real estate investment.  Others have branched out into Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which have become increasingly popular in recent years.  REITs have offered good liquidity, good overall returns (especially in recent years), but tend to be volatile, with returns that may vary widely year-over-year.  Their other big drawback is since REIT dividend income is fully taxable at ordinary income tax rates; they are best suited for tax-advantaged accounts, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs.

Many large fortunes in real estate have been amassed by buying and holding properties to generate significant returns through cash flow and appreciation, and by taking advantage of their tax benefits, notably depreciation, long-term capital gains tax treatment, and the ability to defer tax liabilities through the use of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.  Buying and holding properties offers some of the very highest returns, stability, and tax advantages available.  

Meridian Pacific’s objective is to provide investors with a real estate investment alternative to REITs for buying and holding cash flow properties with superior returns and low volatility with the all of the tax benefits of direct real estate ownership.

Meridian Pacific Real Estate Investment Philosophy  While there are a myriad of successful investment models in real estate, they all share only one or both of the following fundamentals to build financial wealth:  Cash flow growth Equity build-up  

Most homeowners are familiar with equity build-up, which is driven by the appreciation of a home and/or paying down a mortgage balance over time.  Equity build-up increases one’s net worth in real estate assets.  

Cash flow relates to deriving rental income in excess of all of the cash obligations and costs incurred, including the servicing of mortgage debt.  To the extent that costs can be reduced and rents appreciate, cash flow will grow over time.
