Buy and sell income property on the numbers.
Whether you are acquiring your first income-producing property or selling an asset held for years, the outcome depends on more than the property. Pricing strategy, buyer targeting, financial positioning, and negotiation. Matt represents investors and owners on both sides.
The deal is made in the underwriting
Every investment sale lives or dies on its assumptions. In-place rents versus market, real operating expenses, deferred capital, lease rollover, and the achievable exit. Matt builds the model before the marketing.
The goal is simple: protect your basis, defend your cap rate, and keep your capital working. An inflated pro forma is exactly how buyers overpay and sellers re-trade at the eleventh hour.
The six numbers that set the price
Underwriting a commercial asset comes down to a short list of variables. Get these right and the price defends itself.
- Cap rate, where a small shift creates an outsized swing in valuation
- Net operating income, gross income minus real operating expenses before debt service
- Tenant credit quality, the strength behind the rent check
- Lease term remaining, which sets your rollover risk
- Rent growth and escalations built into the leases
- Deferred maintenance and capital expenses, a common source of price re-trades
How Matt creates value
Acquisition Advisory
Disciplined sourcing, underwriting, and negotiation across multifamily, retail, office, and net-lease. Opportunity sourcing includes off-market access, with cap rate and NOI checked against real comps.
Disposition Strategy
Accurate pricing on current cap rates, a clean financial presentation, and targeted exposure through Crexi, LoopNet, and eXp. Overpricing signals weakness, so the number is defended from day one.
1031 Coordination
Aligning your disposition with a realistic replacement plan. The most common mistake is selling before having a clear acquisition strategy.
Sell, identify, close, repeat
Sell the relinquished property
Proceeds go straight to your Qualified Intermediary and the clock starts at closing. You never take control of the funds.
Identify within 45 days
Formally identify up to three replacement properties in writing. The window is firm, which is why the acquisition strategy comes first.
Close within 180 days
Your QI uses the exchange funds to acquire the replacement before the deadline, completing the deferral.
Defer and keep building
Exchanges can be repeated, compounding wealth across a career instead of bleeding equity to taxes at each sale.
Your investment-sales advisor
Guided by Matt Bingaman
Matt advises investors and owners across Greater Sacramento and El Dorado County, one of the most closely watched commercial markets in California. Relative affordability against the Bay Area, strong population growth in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and Roseville, and consistent tenant demand across industrial, retail, and medical office.
For investors priced out of coastal markets or completing a 1031, the region still offers income-producing assets at cap rates that are increasingly hard to find in major California metros.
Matt builds the model before the marketing. Underwritten on the numbers, not the narrative.
