Workforce Housing

The properties we target to acquire are located near employment hubs for blue-collar, hardworking people. Residents will usually spend a sizeable portion of their income on rent. During recessionary times, these properties become even more attractive to renters seeking safe, clean, and affordable housing.
  • Target C-Class properties in secondary and tertiary markets.
  • Focus on historically recession-resistant properties.
  • Acquire properties requiring Capex and deferred maintenance investment.
  • Establish safe, clean, and affordable rental units.
  • Properties strategically located near employment hubs.

Residents First

We believe that by prioritizing residents needs and by working closely with the community, it can improve their quality of life. Treating residents with dignity and respect is not only the right thing to do, it can increase the return on investment by substantially reducing operating costs.

  • Prioritize resident satisfaction as a critical KPI to deliver lower resident turnover and delinquencies.
  • Aggressively manage operating costs while maintaining competitive market pricing.
  • Work with the local community and services to support and engage residents.
  • Continuously benchmark employee performance and resident feedback.
