18. Why Passive Real Estate Investing?
o Allows tax-deferred cash returns that let you keep more of your earnings.
o Your share of depreciation expense works to offset your income thanks to the pass-through
benefits of real estate ownership
o You do not deal with the hassles of day-to-day-management. Leaky faucet? You’re not
getting a call at 2am. Broken gate? It’s not your responsibility to call the handyman.
o Dealing with banks is just plain hard. Since the economy went south, banks have started to
require even more documentation to get loans and the process is both time-consuming and
mind numbing. When you are a passive real estate investor, your investment is tied to a
professional private real estate investment company that already has relationships with
select banks. They navigate the bank financing waters on your behalf so you don’t have to.
o You always have the option in any investment to go at it alone, whether that means
investing in stocks through an online brokerage like eTrade or buying your own
investment property, but there is something to be said for leveraging the intelligence of the
people around you. Some real estate investors devote their lives to learning the in’s and
out’s of the market and passive real estate investing allows you to benefit from their deep
education.
o Passive real estate investing can be incredibly quick. You do diligence, sign legal paperwork
and transfer funds almost immediately. It is not intended to become a second job and you
can literally make money while you sleep.
o Primarily when investing in properties with existing tenants where there is existing cash-
flow, your money is working for you 24/7.
o Capital appreciation
o Tax benefits
o LLC Legal Structure for security and protection
o Benefits thru use of Self Directed IRA investing
o We handle all Management and Administration

most strategically located metropolitan regions
in the United States for access by
manufacturing and service industries. Air,
highway, river, and rail transportation give
Cincinnati ready access within 600 miles of
53% of the nation’s manufacturing
establishments and 57% of the nation’s value
added by manufacturing. Three interstate
highway systems (I-75, I-74, and I-71) and two
interstate connectors (I-275 and I-471) serve
the Cincinnati region and provide access to all

downtown rents climbing an impressive
8.0% in 2013 with full occupancy. The
other notable hot spot has been the Uptown
corridor near the University of Cincinnati,
where new units are achieving rent levels

30. Development Advances on City’s Riverfront, Creating New Jobs and
Potential Rental Demand
Urban development in Cincinnati is reviving the economy, boosting
employment and creating new apartment demand. The Banks on the
riverfront, which will be the largest mixed-use development in the city,
continues to support economic growth, as the first phase created 3,600
permanent jobs. The second phase will progress this year, alongside another
of the city’s major projects under construction, the streetcar system, which
begins at The Banks. The rail will cover nearly four miles around downtown
and connect major employment centers. As part of a multi-faceted
transportation system, the streetcar will provide transit to citizens
throughout Cincinnati and potentially open development opportunities
along its path. While apartment completions remain on par with demand
this year, the new infrastructure could change the city’s core, revitalizing the
city by drawing new jobs and rental households to the heart of the city.

36. U.S. Rents Rise Again as Market Tightens
Apartment landlords continued to push through higher rents in many cities in the fourth
quarter, offering little relief for renters who have seen increases over the past few years.
Nationwide, landlords raised rents by an average of 0.8% to $1,083 a month in the
quarter, according to a report to be released Tuesday by REIS a real-estate research firm.
While that is below the previous quarter's 1% increase, it is above the 0.6% gain seen in
2012's final quarter. Rents climbed 3.2% for all of 2013.
The vacancy rate, meantime, fell to 4.1% in the fourth quarter from 4.6% in the year-
earlier quarter, remaining well below the 8% peak at the end of 2009.
"Demand for apartments remains strong," wrote Ryan Severino, a senior economist with
Reis. "Not even the seasonal weakness normally observed during the fourth quarters of
calendar years had much if any impact on the market dynamics.”
