Hello everyone!

Recently I had the chance to meet the founders of Estating, a new and very innovative way to invest in real estate. They define themselves as a global digital marketplace providing direct access to real estate.

One of the most pressing questions for multifamily investors is how long should they keep their assets. Should you keep them for 3, 5,10 years? Should you sell quickly? Should you sell at all, or keep them as part of a growing portfolio? These answers depend on many factors, from your future investment plans to your acquisition strategy, your taxes strategy, and more, and every case is different.

In the latest episode of The Real Estate Life podcast I welcome seasoned multifamily investor Tom Dunkel. He’s Co-Founder and Managing director of Belrose Asset Management, a firm specialized in real estate investment with a focus on multifamily and self-storage.

In this opportunity, we focus the conversation on the self-storage asset type, since it’s becoming so popular in recent times, and investors see it as a possibility for generating extra income on their properties.

Tom also discusses his process to identify cities or locations to invest, all the hard data behind his decisions, and how new technology has become his ally in real estate investing.

(He actually describes a very clever hack to determine geographical need for storage, you need to check it out!)

Hello everyone!

As many of you know may remember, a few weeks back SAR Apartment Capital was mentioned in the local news in Augusta, Georgia, right after we announced the acquisition of 95 units in three completely vacant buildings in that city. The report mentioned how housing shortages and new investors coming from out-of-state were creating a gentrification trend in the area.

For this week’s blog, I decided to explain briefly how these communities actually benefit when investors rebuild and rehabilitate abandoned or empty buildings, using the example of the Augusta acquisition.

Up next.
