The Up Plex Mission
Elevating others by providing wealth-building, passive investment opportunities through real estate.
It’s a known fact that owning real estate can be one of the best passive investment vehicles for you. More specifically, apartment buildings and commercial real estate. However, it also comes with an incredible amount of complexities in trying to acquire such assets and we’ve found that to be the reason most beginner investors shy away from pursuing.
So we set out to make it more attainable for investors to invest in these incredible wealth-building assets with confidence. As a limited partner, you get to leverage our time, network, and decades of experience to create peace of mind with every investment you make with us. We do our best to mitigate as much risk as possible. So much so that we won’t offer an opportunity that we aren’t investing in ourselves.

Our Success Formula
Underwriting & Negotiating
Detailed underwriting determines the amount of negotiating that can be done with a seller on price and terms. Our experience allows us to properly analyze an asset and mitigate as much risk as possible for our investors.
Contract Review / Due Diligence
We have established the best legal and due diligence teams for our syndications. This allows us to simultaneously expedite two incredibly time-consuming tasks that most beginning investors struggle with.
Closing & Reassessment
There is more to closing than just signing on the dotted line and handing over the keys. There is an equal amount of critical work that needs to be completed soon after to ensure the success of a syndication.
Enacting Business Plan / CapEx
We identify and prioritize the necessary projects and execute them based on funding and critical need. Simultaneously, our expert CapEx team gets to work by coordinating with asset and property managers to assist in stabilizing the property.
Stabilization / Refinance
This process usually takes just over 2 years (depending on the market) and involves everything from completing CapEx, to ensuring organic fair market rent growth, to managing tenant turnover, all while working to decrease expenses.
Sale/Disposition
When it comes time to sell, we prepare the property to show as cost-effectively as possible. Once sold, we ensure that we properly close out business transactions and 3 months after the sale, we deliver all sales proceeds (return of capital) to our investors.

The Multifamily Market Reset: Challenges & Opportunities
If you’ve been following the multifamily real estate market, you know things have been… a bit of a rollercoaster since 2022. Some investors are feeling the pressure, others are seeing opportunities—but one thing is clear: this is a market that rewards those who stay informed and ready to act.
Here’s the story in simple terms:
Interest rates spiked. The Fed raised rates 11 times in just 16 months, making borrowing more expensive and putting pressure on property values.
Property values dropped. Deals purchased in 2022 are now worth 20%–40% less, and distressed properties—those with low occupancy or high expenses—took an even bigger hit.
Bridge loans are coming due. Many 2022 deals relied on 3-year bridge loans, and as they mature in 2025, owners face a tough choice:
Refinance? That usually means putting in a lot of new money.
Sell? That could lock in big losses—sometimes wiping out the whole investment.
Here’s what the market looks like today
Take a look at the current landscape of distressed bridge loans. The two largest slices—red and purple—make up almost two-thirds of the market:
Performing Matured (blue – 32.3%): Loans that have expired but are still being paid while lenders hold off on calling the principal.
Non-Performing Matured (orange – 33.1%): Loans that have expired, borrowers stopped paying, and lenders haven’t enforced repayment yet.
In other words, a lot of owners are stuck. They can’t refinance easily, and selling now might mean taking a big hit.
So… what does this mean for investors?
Here’s the exciting part: this environment is tough for current owners—but for disciplined investors, it creates opportunities you don’t see every day:
Forced sales = discounted deals. Sellers who have to move quickly are offering high-quality properties at lower prices.
Downturns = wealth-building windows. Some of the biggest fortunes in real estate were built during periods like this, when others were forced to exit.
Diversification protects you. Spreading capital across multiple deals, property types (multifamily, storage, MHPs, notes), and locations reduces risk while keeping your options open.
Whether you’re experienced, just getting started, or somewhere in between, this is a time to stay alert, think strategically, and have capital ready.
The bottom line
The current multifamily market isn’t the end—it’s a reset. Investors who are ready, patient, and diversified will be positioned to capture the upside when stability returns. As Warren Buffett reminds us: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now? It’s a window where disciplined investors can take advantage while others are stuck.
