1. Analyze markets so that you understand the economic fundamentals that drive them and can anticipate which ones are most likely to rebound first and strongly.
2. Plan by identifying deal parameters (such as targeted geography) and the associated time-lines for staffing and raising necessary capital.
3. Network with those who control or may control in the future the real property that your plan has denoted. This will enable you to generate new deal flow prior to an upturn in the market.
4. Expand by considering entry into areas where you were previously prohibited by price. They are now likely to be more affordable.
5. Hire because this is the time when you are likely to find experienced talent that might not have been available previously and may be open to a variety of working arrangements, such as consulting or temporary assignments.
6. Cash will allow you to make the best acquisition deals in the current slowdown. Strategies for raising capital include tapping existing investors, refinancing or drawing capital from your current portfolio, and seeking new investors, such as those who benefit from current currency exchange advantages.
7. Operations, at both the corporate and operating property levels, should be scrutinized for ways to reduce expenses as well as for areas where income might be enhanced.
8. Negotiate with your service providers by reviewing their fees, delivery schedules, and personnel assigned to your projects.
9. Time Deliveries for renovations of existing apartment properties and for new construction. Ideally, your units will become available when the market recovers.
10. Build, even if you have not considered it in the past, because labor costs are lower and the quality of work has improved.
