Investment Philosophy
PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL
Our primary goal is maintaining and growing investors’ long-term wealth by focusing on capital preservation. Using a baseball analogy, we would much rather consistently “hit doubles,” allowing the positive returns to compound over time, than to “swing for the fences” by attempting to generate outsized returns through risky investments that are more susceptible to losses. In doing so, we aim to participate in the upside when things go well, but more importantly, we aim to successfully weather any downturns as the real estate and capital market cycles naturally ebb and flow.
A “VALUE INVESTING” MINDSET
We target cash-flowing, unrenovated “value-add” multifamily typically older than 10+ years and renovate them with modern finishes. As such, we prefer to generate returns by buying below replacement cost, collecting stable recurring cash flow, and directly adding value at the property level. We are highly selective with our investments, enabling us to generate opportunistic returns through an attractive basis, streamlined operational expenses, and strategic renovations. These variables are all largely within our control, as opposed to market forecasts which are impossible to consistently predict.
HONESTY, INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY
Above all else, we strive to build and maintain good working relationships with our investors, lenders, and third-party partners. These invaluable long-term, mutually beneficial relationships are built upon three intangible qualities: honesty, integrity, and transparency. These three qualities serve as the foundation upon which our firm operates.
