The building qualifies with the state and county and receives a welfare exemption that allows a secure property tax waiver on all ad valorem taxes, only bonds and assessments are paid. This increases the capitalization rate and cash on cash return beyond competing buildings for a greater return. This building provides a great hedge against inflation and recession. Many of the rents are government guaranteed which allow for increases as high as 10% per year. Being partially exempt from rent control allows for an infinite return on investment.
