Investment Philosophies
Thinking In Decades
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to prioritize immediate results over long-term success. However, to have longevity in this business, a different mindset must be adopted — one that emphasizes long term results. Thinking in terms of decades rather than months or years not only clarifies present choices but also simplifies them. This long-term approach helps us navigate volatile markets with greater confidence.
Fundamentals Over Speculation
Our industry has more than its fair share of speculative investors. While targeting areas with high growth potential is important, it is not to be relied upon. Instead the focus is on doing two things very well: 1) Acquiring properties with solid fundamentals at a competitive cost-basis and 2) Clinically executing the value-add strategy. External factors beyond our control should not make or break the investment itself if fundamentals are prioritized.
Art + Science Investing
While collecting good data and devising intricate financial models of is a must, it is only half the equation. Intangibles of a property such as aesthetics, desirability to the tenant-base, market timing and general “feel” cannot necessarily be quantified and are considered the Art component of the deal. Understanding both the art and science component of investing is integral to any successful, long-lasting real estate venture.
