No matter how robust your real estate investments are, one bad apple can spoil the rest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, I want to show you how to identify an underperforming asset and, more importantly, how to create enough value to turn it around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-underperforming-assets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Underperforming Assets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underperforming assets are <strong>properties or investments that fail to meet expected performance benchmarks. <\/strong>The reason for poor performance might be <strong>market shifts<\/strong>, poor <strong>management<\/strong>, or <strong>careless spending<\/strong>. These issues can affect the overall growth and gains of your portfolio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the case might be, Identifying these assets and the culprit early is the best way to avoid losing money or making the situation worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-identify-underperforming-assets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify Underperforming Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to make sure you&rsquo;re tracking the right performance benchmarks. This is a business, after all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good place to start in setting these benchmarks is to ask yourself the following questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>What are your monthly revenue targets for each asset?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>What are your operating costs?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>What is your NOI?&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at each asset individually and compare its performance to market standards. Then, here are some things you&rsquo;ll want to start evaluating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Financial Returns<\/strong>: Analyze cash flow, rental income, and operating expenses. A property with returns lower than market averages signals underperformance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Occupancy Rates<\/strong>: Properties with long-term vacancies or frequent tenant changes may need attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Condition of the Property<\/strong>: Physical neglect can lead to declining value and tenant dissatisfaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Market Trends<\/strong>: Changes in the local market can make certain properties less competitive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<html><body><div id=\"in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/host\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'first in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"first-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <header>\r\n      <h2 id=\"can-we-pay-you-to-store-vehicles\">Can we pay you to store vehicles?<\/h2>\r\n    <\/header>\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path d=\"M26.7552 20.0573C26.2911 20.9853 26.2499 22.3578 26.2499 24.375H33.7499C33.7499 22.3577 33.7088 20.9853 33.2448 20.0573C33.0557 19.6792 32.8 19.3973 32.3888 19.1841C31.9442 18.9535 31.2108 18.75 30 18.75C28.7892 18.75 28.0558 18.9535 27.6112 19.1841C27.2 19.3973 26.9442 19.6792 26.7552 20.0573Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M28.0777 4.32887C29.3195 3.87732 30.6805 3.87732 31.9223 4.32887L48.7973 10.4652C51.0173 11.2725 52.5 13.3777 52.5 15.7462V33.1425C52.5 33.7407 52.4058 34.3605 52.1888 34.9629C47.861 46.9738 35.9939 53.5676 32.1164 55.464C30.7986 56.1086 29.2843 56.1505 27.9278 55.5549C23.9729 53.8185 12.0728 47.6941 7.77513 34.8948C7.58399 34.3255 7.5 33.7394 7.5 33.1762V15.7481C7.5 13.3807 8.98165 11.2729 11.2027 10.4652L28.0777 4.32887ZM22.4998 24.1662L22.4999 24.375C20.4289 24.375 18.75 26.054 18.75 28.125V35.625C18.75 37.6961 20.4289 39.375 22.5 39.375H37.5C39.5711 39.375 41.25 37.6961 41.25 35.625V28.125C41.25 26.0539 39.5711 24.375 37.5 24.375L37.5 24.166C37.5016 22.4546 37.5037 20.19 36.5989 18.3802C36.0848 17.352 35.2859 16.4621 34.115 15.855C32.9776 15.2652 31.6017 15 30 15C28.3983 15 27.0224 15.2652 25.885 15.855C24.7141 16.4621 23.9152 17.352 23.4011 18.3802C22.4961 20.1901 22.4982 22.4547 22.4998 24.1662Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg><\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"list-your-unused-space\">List your unused space<\/h3>\r\n        <p>People are earning $1,000s per year from their garages and outdoor space.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\">\r\n          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.125 9.375C11.0539 9.375 9.375 11.0539 9.375 13.125V46.875C9.375 48.9461 11.0539 50.625 13.125 50.625H46.875C48.9461 50.625 50.625 48.9461 50.625 46.875V13.125C50.625 11.0539 48.9461 9.375 46.875 9.375H13.125ZM28.125 16.875C28.125 15.8395 28.9645 15 30 15C31.0355 15 31.875 15.8395 31.875 16.875V20.625H35.625C36.6605 20.625 37.5 21.4645 37.5 22.5C37.5 23.5355 36.6605 24.375 35.625 24.375H26.25C25.2145 24.375 24.375 25.2145 24.375 26.25C24.375 27.2855 25.2145 28.125 26.25 28.125H33.75C36.8566 28.125 39.375 30.6434 39.375 33.75C39.375 36.8566 36.8566 39.375 33.75 39.375H31.875V43.125C31.875 44.1605 31.0355 45 30 45C28.9645 45 28.125 44.1605 28.125 43.125V39.375H22.5C21.4645 39.375 20.625 38.5355 20.625 37.5C20.625 36.4645 21.4645 35.625 22.5 35.625H33.75C34.7855 35.625 35.625 34.7855 35.625 33.75C35.625 32.7145 34.7855 31.875 33.75 31.875H26.25C23.1434 31.875 20.625 29.3566 20.625 26.25C20.625 23.1434 23.1434 20.625 26.25 20.625H28.125V16.875Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"approve-your-renters\">Approve your renters<\/h3>\r\n        <p>You're in control.

It could be you&rsquo;re overleveraged, or it could be that your occupancy is low.<strong><em> There&rsquo;s no sense in trying to fix something until you know what needs to be improved.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting to the root cause will help you identify the best course of action. While all property challenges are different, here are some common ways to add value to your assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Remember: A strategy should be designed to improve performance and sustain future growth.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-improve-operational-efficiency\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Improve Operational Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review how the property is managed by scrutinizing your property&rsquo;s financial and operational performance. <strong>High expenses and inefficient processes can starve revenue.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, ask yourself: <em>Are you overstaffing? Are you overpaying?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By looking at areas like maintenance, staffing, and vendor contracts, you can find inefficiencies that drive up costs. Improving operations, renegotiating vendor service agreements, or implementing rental automation can help cut unnecessary expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a hefty upfront cost, investing in a property management company can actually reduce the overall cost of ownership since they&rsquo;ll leverage an existing network of resources. <em>(Check out this guide for more info on the pros and cons of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/pros-and-cons-of-property-management-consulting\/\"><em>property management consulting services<\/em><\/a><em>).&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-reinvest-in-the-property\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Reinvest in the Property<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take cash flow and reinvest into your property, you can make meaningful improvements to create more value for your tenants (and enhance your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/increase-rental-property-value\/\">overall rental property valuation<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing outdated appliances and making minor updates, for example, can go a long way in driving up rental income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fund these upgrades, you can use income from the property or refinance to pull out equity. <strong>The goal is to ensure upgrades boost returns,<\/strong><em> either through higher rent, lower costs, or increased property value.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-reposition-the-asset\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Reposition the Asset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might not work for every property, but If the property no longer fits its market or sector, repositioning it can unlock new opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, converting an underused office building into residential apartments or adding retail spaces on the ground floor can align it with shifting demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach often involves assessing local market trends, securing necessary permits, and planning renovations carefully.

Invest in targeted online advertising, focusing on platforms like social media or local real estate websites, to reach your ideal audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When all else fails, think of creative offerings, move-in specials, or referral bonuses to attract more leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-offering-additional-amenities-or-services\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6: Offering Additional Amenities or Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;re searching for creative ways to increase monthly revenue, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/guide-to-amenity-fees\/\">offer additional amenities<\/a> like preferred parking, EV charging stations, or valet trash.

Sometimes, an outside perspective is just what you need. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/pros-and-cons-of-property-management-consulting\/\">These companies can evaluate your portfolio<\/a>, identify areas for improvement, and recommend strategies tailored to your goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it&rsquo;s optimizing operations, repositioning the property, or improving tenant retention, they help clients avoid costly mistakes and ensure your efforts align with market trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"8-monitor-and-reevaluate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">#8: Monitor and Reevaluate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After implementing changes, track the asset&rsquo;s performance regularly. Use this data to decide whether to hold, reinvest, or sell. The best way to improve the value of an asset is to track and monitor the right things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"when-to-sell-an-underperforming-asset\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Sell an Underperforming Asset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all underperforming assets can be turned around. If the property continues to lose money after implementing strategies, selling might be the best option. Selling frees up money and resources that can be reinvested elsewhere. Before selling, evaluate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The property&rsquo;s potential compared to others in your portfolio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The current market price and demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of holding the property for one year versus selling now<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling can be challenging, but it&rsquo;s sometimes the right move for long-term growth. Accept that not all investments work out, and focus on using the proceeds to strengthen your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"moving-forward\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identifying and addressing underperforming assets is an ongoing process. Regular evaluations (and the willingness to sell when needed) are essential to maintaining a healthy portfolio. Investors who remain proactive and adapt to changing factors will see better performance and greater total returns over time.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bigger your portfolio, the easier it is to miss underperforming assets.
