Pei Qian was having lunch at the Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store when he received a call from Xiao Sun.
"Mr. Pei, the building you arranged for me to find has been found. When are you going to come and see it?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you go to the hotel in advance to pick up Mr. Liang, and then pick me up at the Internet cafe, and we will go there together."
"Also, send me the information on the two communities and I'll take a look first."
A month has passed since Pei Qian moved to his new home.
After living here for this month, Pei Qian is very satisfied with the model of Sloth Apartment. He has tried his best to persuade other tenants to leave while ensuring his own living experience.
So far, only Pei Qian lives in the first building of Sloth Apartment, with no other tenants at all.
On the one hand, this is because there is not much publicity for Sloth Apartment, and on the other hand, it is also because the price is too high and there are too many rules, which directly discourages a few customers who accidentally discovered it.
Anyway, so far, so good!
So Pei Qian thought that it was almost time to continue.
The money from the movie box office has not been spent yet. Buying a house can quickly consume the money. At the same time, considering that the fixed asset conversion is 10%, it is more appropriate for Pei Qian to control the amount he spends on buying houses this cycle to 60 to 70 million. Before
I spent 30 million and can spend another 40 million.
Pei Qian's plan this time is to buy two more buildings and spend about 35 million. The remaining money will be used for decoration. If there is not enough, he will continue to add more.
Some successful experiences must be passed down, for example, this house must have flaws.
For example, houses with strange floor plans can be given priority.
Square, square, north-south and transparent apartments can be easily rented out if decorated a little more beautifully, while odd apartments often mean that the living experience will not be very good, space will be wasted, and the price-performance ratio is poor.
If the price of such a house increases slightly, no one will be willing to rent it.
At the same time, successful experiences such as not being allowed to add furniture by yourself, arranging housekeepers and cleaning staff to increase premiums, and implementing minimalist decoration styles must be inherited.
In addition, Pei Qian also considered supplementing some shortcomings of the existing model.
Previously, I bought a fully decorated room, mainly because Pei Qian was anxious to move in, and he wanted to see quickly whether the Sloth Apartment model could lose money.
Therefore, in the previous decoration, a lot of money was spent on soft furnishings, including large TVs, high-end furniture, various smart homes, smart dimming glass, etc.
But this time Pei Qian decided to buy a shabbier building and even install the hardware. Wouldn't that mean he could spend more money?
Anyway, I don’t live in it myself, and I have no intention of renting it out. If the construction period is longer and the living experience is worse, that’s totally fine.
Spending the same money, one option is to buy a high-priced, well-decorated building, and the other option is to buy a low-priced, dilapidated building that no one wants, and then spend all the money saved on decoration.
Obviously, the second option actually obtains less fixed assets and has less impact on settlement.
This time Pei Qian wanted to buy two more buildings. Considering that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, he deliberately chose two completely different styles from the building in City Dawn and asked Xiao Sun to find two designated buildings.
One is a commercial and residential building with a small number of units.
The other type is old buildings in remote urban areas that are unoccupied all year round.
In short, the purpose is to pick up trash in a variety of ways.
Nowadays, most of the houses can be found online, not to mention there are various intermediaries who want to take money out of your pocket. It is not troublesome to find similar places. After Pei Qian handed over this job to Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun
After two days of running around in Jingzhou, I found it quickly.
At the beginning of the month, Xiao Sun was supposed to be responsible for receiving Liang Qingfan, but after a few days, Liang Qingfan felt that it would be better to wander around Jingzhou freely, so Xiao Sun stopped following him, and Pei Qian just arranged for him to go
Look at the house.
As of today, Liang Qingfan has officially been herding sheep in Jingzhou for nearly a month. Pei Qian feels that it is almost time for him to start a new job.
After lunch, the waiter cleared away the tableware and brought another cup of coffee.
Pei Qian called Liang Qingfan while drinking coffee.
After a few rings, Liang Qingfan picked up: "Hello? Mr. Pei?"
There was some nasal sound, as if he had just woken up.
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy.
This is probably a month of open play, and it is too high. Otherwise, it is already 12 noon, and you are still sleeping?
Nap? There’s no reason to take a nap after 11 o’clock.
Very good, I admire this kind of talent who just travels around and sleeps when he is not working, and never thinks about work!
Pei Qian didn't ask any more questions, fearing that Liang Qingfan would get the wrong idea and think he was spurring him on.
"I've thought about it. The Sloth Apartment is almost ready to enter the second stage. How about it? Can it start construction?"
Liang Qingfan: "Of course!"
Pei Qian was very satisfied: "Okay, then hurry up and get up, have a meal at the hotel, Xiao Sun will pick you up, and then we will go see the house together."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian began to check the detailed information on the two locations sent by Xiao Sun, and then searched for general information on the Internet.
One is the Shundong Garden commercial and residential building, which has convenient transportation in the urban area and has just been completed recently. However, because it is a newly developed commercial and residential building, it has not yet had time to sell a few units.
The other one is Building 9 of Binhu Community, which was built in 2001. It is located in the suburbs of Jingzhou. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a park nearby and a medium-sized artificial lake with a view of the lake. But from the perspective of the house type,
Look, the level of weirdness is comparable to that of City Dawn, a house where the sun never sets.
The rental prices in these two places are significantly lower than residential buildings in other communities in the same location, which is obviously very unpopular.
As for why they are not popular, it is obviously that each has its own disadvantages.
Pei Qian is very happy, Xiao Sun is quite reliable in doing things!
…
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Pei Qian and Liang Qingfan first arrived at the Shundong Garden Commercial and Residential Building.
The sales consultant was very enthusiastic, but Pei Qian left him at the door very politely.
There are professional architects here, why do they still need to listen to your lies?
The entire commercial and residential building has a total of 11 floors except the ground floor. Each floor has 2 staircases and 7 units. The floor height is 5.5 meters. The apartment area is 38.5 square meters. Each square meter is 7,000 yuan. The whole apartment is nearly 270,000 yuan. In this way, the entire commercial and residential building is calculated.
The total is just over 20 million.
Liang Qingfan immediately understood the apartment layout when he saw it: "Mr. Pei, do you want to buy a commercial or residential building?"
Pei Qian nodded: "That's right."
Liang Qingfan didn't say much. Since Mr. Pei had decided to buy a commercial and residential building, he must have understood the shortcomings of commercial and residential buildings.
Pei Qian did understand, but these shortcomings were the reason why he decided to buy a commercial and residential building.
Compared with ordinary residential buildings, the property rights of commercial and residential buildings are short; water bills, electricity bills, property charges, heating bills, etc. are all calculated according to commercial standards, and the cost of living is relatively high; the overall residential density is relatively high.
The apartments are small and lack transparency from north to south, so living comfort is often poor.
Pei Qian thought about it. Although the selling price of commercial and residential buildings is generally 30 to 40% lower than that of residential buildings, the potential for appreciation is poor, the daily expenses are high, and the ownership period is short. If you spend a lot of money on renovations yourself, wouldn't it be easier to lose money?
Already?
As for why you should buy a new building…
There are some older commercial and residential buildings, but since the Sloth Apartment has to arrange building management and cleaning, it is definitely necessary to buy the entire building to facilitate the arrangements. Unless the old building is the kind that no one wants and the residents are eager to arrange it,
You have to get rid of it, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you encounter one or two households that are unwilling to move.
Therefore, it is more worry-free to buy this kind of new building. Even if a few units have been sold, you can consider buying it again at a slight increase in price.
Pei Qian turned around and saw that this apartment was boxy and basically no different from an ordinary loft apartment. The lower floor was the living room, dining room and kitchen, but there was no natural gas, so only ovens, microwaves, induction cookers, etc. could be used.
Pei Qian nodded silently, well, this is also a relatively satisfying place.
The layout of the second floor is relatively simple and is simply used as a bedroom.
Pei Qian walked around and found that the overall living environment here is good, but the entire area is very small. This means that if you continue to decorate according to the minimalist style before, the whole house will basically not be able to fit too many things.
The actual living experience will definitely not be good.
Coupled with the building management, cleaning and daily water and electricity bills, Pei Qian is confident that he can raise the rental price to a point where even ordinary literary and artistic young people are reluctant to rent it.
Pei Qian turned around and felt quite satisfied. He turned around and asked, "Mr. Liang, do you think the price is appropriate?"
Liang Qingfan thought for a while: "It's a little high, but it's within the acceptable range. However, the biggest problem is..."
Before Liang Qingfan finished speaking, Pei Qian turned to Xiao Sun and said, "Okay, I bought it. Inform Assistant Xin, and then we continue to look at the next building."
Liang Qingfan: "..."
The agent had been waiting at the door and did not follow up. When he saw Pei Qian walking around before leaving, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, if you are not satisfied with this house, there are other things you can consider..."
Pei Qian walked directly out: "I want this building. Someone will come to sign the contract with you in the afternoon."
Liang Qingfan followed Pei Qian and silently swallowed the shortcomings of this apartment type that he wanted to remind Mr. Pei.
The agent looked at the three people leaving, blinked, and didn't react for a while.
Bought? A whole building?
Are you trying to make fun of me??
…
After leaving Shundong Garden, Pei Qian and Liang Qingfan came to the second address, Building 9 of Binhu Community.
Because it is on the outskirts of the city, it takes a full 40 minutes to drive there.
There is a park near Binhu Community. There is an artificial lake in the park. You can see the scenery in the park from upstairs. The higher the floor, the better the view.
Building No. 9 has a total of 12 floors, one staircase and two rooms. Like Building 8 next door, it has a semi-cylindrical protruding part facing the park and artificial lake.
Each house is more than 60 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. The average price is 8,000, and the total price is 500,000. This building has 8 floors, and the total price is more than 8 million.
This price is also significantly lower than the average house price in Jingzhou City. On the one hand, it is because it is in the suburbs, and on the other hand, because no one has moved in or even rented it for several years, so the price has naturally dropped.
The agent led Pei Qian and others to the top floor of Building 9. Directly opposite was the 180-degree curved floor-to-ceiling window, offering an unobstructed view of the scenery.
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown and wanted to retreat on the spot.
However, he caught a glimpse of Liang Qingfan frowning and instantly changed his mind.
"Is there anything wrong with this house?" Pei Qian asked.
Liang Qingfan had a "glaring" expression: "Of course there is a problem, otherwise this entire building would be unoccupied until now?"
"The entrance door and aisle are only 70 centimeters. It is so narrow that it is difficult to transport furniture inside. Moreover, in the old house ten years ago, the waterproof layer seems to be damaged, there are mold spots on the ceiling, and accumulation can be seen in the corners.
The traces of water will definitely need to be redone if people want to live in them.”
"The kitchen is in a small corner of the living room, and the bathroom is also very small, so the user experience will be very poor."
"There is also this arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling window, which is the same as the previous house in City Dawn. Because of its irregular shape, the utilization rate is very low."
"But the house in City Dawn is large, so I can't feel anything. The area of this house is limited to begin with. If we can't make full use of these spaces, the living experience will definitely be several times worse than that in City Dawn."
Grade.”
"Moreover, the structure of this house seems to have some problems, and there must be a reason why it is sold so cheaply. If general designers and decoration companies are willing to take over, someone will definitely buy it and decorate it, but until now, no one has moved in or
Decoration, this shows that this house is difficult to modify, and ordinary decoration companies dare not take on this job!"
"In short, the structure of this house is probably not suitable for large-scale renovation, or the renovation is very difficult."
"Scarce landscapes only have value in the luxury housing market. In the general housing market, they are typically worthless. Not only do they not have a premium, they may also be deducted points."
Pei Qian nodded: "I understand. Xiao Sun, I bought this building and the No. 8 building next to it."
Liang Qingfan: "?"
I just said so much, Mr. Pei didn't listen at all?
Forget it, buy one building, buy two buildings at once? Just throw 16 million into it?
If Liang Qingfan, the previous commercial and residential building, thought it was barely acceptable, then this building is completely unacceptable. I must say something!
"Mr. Pei, as I said just now, the renovation of this building will be extremely difficult, and it is still unknown whether it can even be renovated..."
Pei Qian smiled and patted his arm: "That's why you can better see the designer's level, isn't it?"
