Building on Principles: Our Core Real Estate Investment Values

We believe that success in the multifamily real estate investment sector is built on more than just financial acumen and market timing. It is rooted in a set of unwavering core values that guide every decision we make and every action we take. 

 

As a family office that has transformed into a sophisticated multifamily investment company managing a portfolio of assets across multiple states, our journey has been defined by our commitment to these principles.

 

Our story began in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis when we recognized the potential in distressed multifamily properties. From our humble beginnings with a handful of units in Los Angeles, we have grown into a real force in the multifamily real estate market, expanding our portfolio across the West Coast and Southeast United States.

 

Throughout this growth, we have remained steadfast in our dedication to three key values:

 

-Integrity 

-Value-Driven Approach 

-Hands-On Management

 

These core values inform how we source deals, manage properties, interact with residents and investors, and ultimately deliver returns. In an industry often characterized by complexity and volatility, our values provide a clear roadmap for overcoming obstacles and capitalizing on opportunities.

Integrity: The Foundation of Trust

 

For us, integrity is more than just a buzzword – it is the foundation upon which we have built our entire operation. We believe that upholding the highest ethical standards in all our dealings is not just the right thing to do, but it is also good business.

 

This commitment to integrity permeates every aspect of our work, from our interactions with investors and residents to our management practices and reporting.

 

Our approach to integrity begins with a simple principle: we do what we say we are going to do. This means being honest about our capabilities, transparent about our processes, and accountable for our results.

 

We have implemented rigorous internal controls and reporting mechanisms to ensure that every decision and action aligns with our ethical standards.

 

Transparency is a key component of our integrity-driven approach. We believe that everyone we interact with deserves to have a clear understanding of our operations, decision-making processes, and financial performance. To this end, we have implemented several practices:

 

  • Regular, detailed reporting to investors that goes beyond basic financials to provide context and insights into property performance and market conditions.

  • Open communication channels with residents, including regular surveys and feedback sessions to address concerns and improve our properties.

  • Clear and comprehensive documentation of all transactions and agreements.

  • Systematic recording of all actions and decisions in our systems, ensuring a transparent process we use to continually seek improvement.

 

Our dedication to integrity was put to the test during the acquisition of a 206-unit property in the Inland Empire. During due diligence, we discovered that the seller had not disclosed some significant deferred maintenance issues. 

 

Instead of trying to renegotiate the deal or push through with the acquisition, we immediately informed our investors about the situation, providing a detailed analysis of the potential costs and risks. We then engaged in transparent negotiations with the seller, insisting on full disclosure and appropriate adjustments to the deal terms.

 

The result? We secured more favorable terms that reflected the true condition of the property and reinforced our investors' trust in our commitment to transparency and ethical dealing. This experience not only benefited our investors financially but also solidified their decision to continue partnering with us on future investments.

Value-Driven Approach: Creating Lasting Impact

 

Our investment strategy is deeply rooted in creating value - not just for our investors, but for our residents and the communities we serve. We believe that true success in real estate investment comes from identifying opportunities where we can make meaningful improvements and drive sustainable growth.

 

This value-driven mindset influences every stage of our investment process, from acquisition to management to eventual disposition.

 

At the core of our value-driven approach is a focus on strategic property improvements. We don't just acquire properties; we transform them. Our team carefully assesses each property to identify areas where we can enhance value through renovations, upgrades, and effective management.

 

This might involve modernizing outdated units, improving common areas, implementing energy-efficient systems, or enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the property.

 

However, our value creation strategy goes beyond physical improvements. We also focus on operational enhancements that can significantly boost a property's performance.

 

This includes implementing more efficient management practices, leveraging technology to streamline operations, and developing innovative marketing strategies to attract and retain happy, high-quality tenants.

 

Our value-driven approach also extends to how we view our role in the broader community. We recognize that our properties are not just assets on a balance sheet, but homes for our residents and integral parts of neighborhoods.

 

As such, we strive to make improvements that benefit not only our bottom line but also the quality of life for our residents and the surrounding community.

 

By focusing on creating lasting value, we have been able to consistently deliver strong returns to our investors while also making a positive impact on the communities where we operate.

 

This approach has allowed us to build a portfolio of properties that appreciate over time, generate stable cash flows, and contribute positively to their neighborhoods.

Hands-On Management: Bringing Vision to Reality

 

We believe that successful real estate investment requires more than just financial acumen - it demands a deep, practical understanding of property operations and management. Our hands-on approach ensures that we are not just passive investors, but active stewards of the properties in our portfolio.

 

This hands-on philosophy begins with our acquisition process. Our team does not rely solely on reports and third-party assessments; our principals personally visit and thoroughly inspect every property we consider purchasing.

 

This allows us to identify potential issues and opportunities that might be missed in a standard review, giving us a more accurate picture of a property's true potential.

 

Once a property is acquired, our hands-on management style truly comes into play. We maintain regular, on-site involvement with all our properties. Our senior management team conducts frequent property visits, not just to check on progress, but to engage directly with on-site staff and residents.

 

These visits allow us to stay closely attuned to the day-to-day operations and challenges of each property, ensuring that our high standards are consistently met.

 

We take a proactive approach to property maintenance and improvements. Rather than waiting for issues to arise, we continuously assess our properties for potential upgrades or maintenance needs.

 

This preventative approach helps maintain the quality of our properties and prevents small issues from becoming costly problems later.

 

By maintaining this hands-on approach, we are able to quickly identify and capitalize on opportunities, address issues before they escalate, and ensure that our properties are managed to the highest standards.

 

This not only protects our investments but also creates a better living environment for our residents and contributes to the overall success of our investment strategy.
