For each project, we target two types of returns: operational returns - paid from the project’s cash flows - and capital returns - earned when we sell or refinance the project. We leverage your capital contributions, along with those of your fellow investors, to do the work that generates these returns while you reap the benefits of receiving either monthly or quarterly returns and financial updates. With our team, we do all the work while you enjoy the rewards.

One of the greatest advantages of multifamily investing is that you are purchasing a real, tangible housing asset. Unlike the stock market, where you rely on ideas or artificial entities to generate profits, your real estate investment is non-fungible and non-severable. And where the stock market can be manipulated via options and other influences outside your control, we have the ability to decide when and how to make improvements to our investments to further increase their value to our tenants and investors.

No investment is risk free, but multifamily investments are designed to protect cash flows by maintaining a significant number of independent revenue streams, which also increases our ability to optimally allocate operational and capital expenditures. With single family rentals, losing one tenant can reduce your monthly revenues by 50-100%. Temporarily losing one or two tenants with multifamily only drops revenues by a couple percentage points while also allowing us us the opportunity to upgrade or repair those units to improve their livability for the next family.

Operating cash flows ideally provide regular, consistent income for our investors during the project’s life cycle. But the larger returns typically come from increases in the property’s value that we create by finding undervalued investment opportunities and making significant improvements that make those communities a better place to live. Creating better living environments attracts more families. Then, those families tend to stay longer because they can see they’re valued. This improves the value of the asset, which generates a greater profit for our investors when we exit the deal.

Contact your accountant or tax adviser for a specific analysis of how depreciation could provide tax advantages for you, but, for many of our investors, owning real estate actually allows them to reduce their total taxable income via asset depreciation, even when they’re receiving passive income. Where it’s appropriate, we also have the knowledge and capabilities to employ cost segreation analyses and other tools to maximize the value of depreciation benefits for our investors who are in a position to take advantage of them.
