In my current role as the head of a private equity firm, I am responsible for identifying, evaluating, and executing deals that align with our objectives and criteria. I thrive in building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, developers, and operators, leveraging these connections to negotiate favorable terms and secure the best possible outcomes for our investments. Whether it’s sourcing off-market deals, structuring partnerships, or finalizing contracts, I bring a hands-on approach and a relentless dedication to achieving successful negotiations.
Throughout my career, I focused on creating and maintaining relationships with key players in the market. I source deals from brokers, investment banks, developers, owners, management companies, investors, lenders, and simple cold calling. I strive to find the best deals, at the best price.
The success of a deal is in how you buy a property. A successful investment starts at the offer price.
Over the course of my career, I have been exposed to many different types of investors. As I studied the best practices of each stop along the way, a common theme emegred. The best strategy is to pursue well located multifamily properties in markets that show a demonstrated ability to generate employment while also containing significant barriers to new construction. To capitalize on this, I have created two distinct approaches to investments in multi-family housing in order to take advantage of evolving market dynamics and to meet our clients’ varying risk profiles:
- Asset Preservation Strategy (APS) seeks those properties that are
essentially stabilized and have minimal capital requirements beyond the
purchase price. These properties offer solid cash-on-cash returns from day
one with minimal risk. - Value Enhancement Strategy (VES) targets distressed properties,
which would typically be B or C assets that are undercapitalized,
undermanaged, and may be in or facing foreclosure. These properties
typically have higher vacancy rates and may suffer from significant deferred
maintenance. While this type of property offers significantly higher return
potential than the core properties, this potential carries with it a
commensurate level of risk.
