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.

Can You Really Make Money During Inflation?
Inflation affects everyone. Prices go up, but your money doesn’t go as far as it used to. Groceries cost more, rent increases, and everyday expenses slowly eat away at your savings.
For most people, inflation feels like a loss. But here’s the surprising truth: some investors actually make money during inflation.
How do they do it? By investing in assets that can adjust as prices rise—one of the most effective being multifamily real estate.
Why Inflation Hurts (and Why It Doesn’t Have To)
Inflation doesn’t take money directly from you. Instead, it reduces your purchasing power. The same amount of money buys fewer goods and services over time.
That’s why holding too much cash or relying on investments that don’t grow can be risky during inflationary periods. To protect your wealth, your investments need to grow at least as fast as inflation—preferably faster.
Why Apartment Buildings Are Different
Not all real estate is valued the same way.
Single-family homes are typically valued by comparing them to nearby homes that recently sold. Apartment buildings, however, are valued based on how much income they generate.
Simply put:More income = higher value
This income-based valuation is what makes multifamily real estate especially powerful during inflation.
Short Leases Create Flexibility
Most apartment leases are one year or less. That means rents can be adjusted regularly as market conditions change.
As inflation pushes costs higher across the economy, apartment owners can gradually increase rents to help offset rising expenses. This flexibility is something many other investments—like office or retail properties with long-term leases—don’t have.
A Simple Example
Imagine a 100-unit apartment building.
Rents increase modestly
Expenses also rise due to inflation
But rent increases apply to all income, while inflation only affects part of the expenses
The result?
Cash flow remains strong or increases
The property’s value grows
The investment stays protected against inflation
Even when rent growth is modest, apartments tend to provide a built-in buffer that helps investors avoid losing money to inflation.
A Proven Track Record
Historically, multifamily real estate has performed well during inflationary periods. Over several decades, it has outpaced inflation more consistently than many traditional investments, including the stock market.
This combination of steady income, value growth, and lower volatility is why many investors consider multifamily real estate a core part of a long-term portfolio.
Final Thoughts
Inflation is unavoidable—but how it affects you is a choice.
You can allow inflation to slowly reduce your buying power, or you can invest in assets designed to adjust, adapt, and grow in rising-price environments.
Multifamily real estate offers a practical way to protect your money while positioning yourself for long-term growth.
