Great to have you part of the conversation Dean Holmes. I believe that you and QuadReal Property Group are doing exceptional and important work for our industry 🤝
Let's talk 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Appreciation in multifamily properties happens in two main ways:
𝟭. 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – where the property’s value rises due to general market trends.
𝟮. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – where the property’s value is actively increased by making upgrades, adding amenities, or improving operations.
𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢:
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 = 𝗡𝗲𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 / 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲
𝙴̲𝚡̲𝚊̲𝚖̲𝚙̲𝚕̲𝚎̲: Let’s say a 20-unit apartment building currently generates an NOI of $100,000, and the market cap rate is 5%. The property’s value would be $2 million ($100,000 / 0.05).
By implementing upgrades and efficiencies, such as:
• 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘀 to charge an extra $50 per unit
• 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 like on-site laundry to boost rent or attract quality tenants
• 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 with energy-saving improvements
These changes could increase the NOI by $10,000–$20,000 annually. With an increased NOI of $120,000, the property value could now rise to $2.4 million, based on the same cap rate.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴:
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Unlike single-family homes, multifamily properties’ values are driven by income, so strategic improvements have a big impact.
• 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀: These upgrades make the property more desirable and can lead to higher rents and lower vacancy rates.
• 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: When the time comes to sell, a higher NOI means a higher property value and often, a faster sale.
Forced appreciation is a proactive way to boost value and cash flow in multifamily investing, putting you in the driver’s seat.

🔓Unlocking Potential: The Value-Add Strategy for Multifamily Investors
Dear Potential Investors:
In a landscape where opportunities abound, this strategy stands out as a proven method for maximizing returns and enhancing property value. Let’s dive into what a value-add strategy entails, with examples of its implementation and the transformative effects it can bring.
Simply put, a value-add strategy involves acquiring a multifamily property with the intention of making strategic improvements to increase its value. These improvements can range from cosmetic upgrades to operational enhancements, all aimed at attracting higher rents, improving tenant satisfaction, and ultimately boosting the property’s overall profitability.
Here are some examples of value-add initiatives:
🛠️🪛🪚🗜️⛏️Renovation: Upgrade interiors, common areas, and install energy-efficient systems.
🎱 🏐🏊♀️⛳️ 🏌️♀️🏌🏾♂️Amenities: Add a dog park, upgrade pools, and create social spaces.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Operations: Improve management, maintenance, and leasing strategies for higher efficiency.
👩🏽👨🏽👵🏻🧑🧒👶🏻👧🏾👦🏾Tenant Focus: Enhance customer service, organize events, and implement tech solutions for satisfaction and longer leases.
So, how are these value-add strategies implemented?
First, it starts with thorough due diligence to identify opportunities for improvement and estimate the potential return on investment. Once a property is acquired, a detailed renovation plan is developed, taking into account budget constraints and market demands. Throughout the renovation process, effective project management is essential to ensure timelines are met and costs are controlled.
As these improvements are made, the property begins to attract higher-quality tenants willing to pay higher rents for the improved living experience. This, in turn, leads to increased rental income and higher property valuations. Over time, the effects of the value-add strategy compound, resulting in a significant increase in the property’s overall value and investor returns.
In summary, a value-add strategy presents a compelling opportunity for multifamily investors.
Thank you for considering the exciting potential of the value-add strategy in multifamily real estate. Should you have any further questions or wish to discuss investment opportunities in more detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Karen Ali

Multifamily Real Estate Investor/Syndicator - PEACEquity, LLC | Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California
PEACEquity has partnered with Streamline Capital Group on an exciting multifamily apartment investment opportunity in Salt Lake City, Utah: an 80-unit portfolio!
How did this partnership come about?
When I first ventured into multifamily apartment investing, I immersed myself in meetups, conferences, books, and podcasts to build my knowledge. But one of the most powerful tools was networking. As an emcee at two national real estate conferences, I had the privilege of introducing some of the top experts in the industry, including Brian Briscoe.
In late 2023, Brian reached out with an opportunity to partner on a multifamily real estate deal in Downtown Salt Lake City. When a senior partner like Brian approaches you, it’s a chance to leverage experience and networks—but it’s also a responsibility that requires careful consideration.
Before committing, I always vet potential partners thoroughly. Here’s my approach:
Track Record: I review their past investments—how did they perform? Were there challenges, and how were they addressed? A consistent history of returns is important, but I also value how they navigated downturns and unexpected issues.
Alignment of Values: Do they prioritize the well-being of investors and tenants? For me, empathy is more than a buzzword—it’s a principle rooted in my medical career. I seek partners who share this long-term perspective.
Transparency: I insist on full transparency. Are they upfront about risks as well as rewards? Do they communicate clearly and consistently? Trust is built on honest, regular communication.
Skin in the Game: I check how much of their own capital they’ve invested. When someone has skin in the game, it aligns interests and demonstrates confidence in the project.
Reputation: I seek out references and speak with past collaborators and investors. A solid reputation in this industry is earned through consistent, trustworthy behavior.
Brian excelled in all these areas, leading to our successful partnership on a 43-unit multifamily deal in Downtown Salt Lake City—the Eleanor Rigby Apartments.
We’re now looking for accredited investors for the South Salt Lake Portfolio—an exciting 506c opportunity involving two properties totaling 80 units.
Interested in learning more? Brian will be presenting a webinar on Thursday, August 15th, at 5 pm Pacific Time. You can register here:

In April, 20for20 posted a blog about NMHC publishing its list of the top 50 owners, operators, and other categories of multifamily companies. They observed, “the average size of the top 50 management groups had increased by 58% in the decade leading up to 2023, while the top 50 ownership portfolios had decreased by 17% on average over the same period. Although the growth trends go in opposite directions, they are mostly explained by one thing: the interest rate environment during most of that decade.”
Excellent interest rates over the last decade led to many new owners stepping into the field and purchasing multifamily housing, resulting in smaller companies being part of the top 50 multifamily housing companies. In 2023 and again in 2024, no REITs were in the top 10 management groups.
This is a fascinating development for smaller owners. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues as interest rates have increased in the last two years. Read the complete article here: https://lnkd.in/gW-9Tjyz

🏡 Build-To-Rent vs. Traditional Multifamily: Which Investment Model Fits Your Goals? 🏡
Multifamily real estate offers incredible opportunities, but how do you decide between Build-To-Rent (BTR) and traditional multifamily properties? At SPARK Multifamily Investment Group, we're breaking down the key differences to help you choose the best fit for your investment strategy:
🔹 What Sets Build-To-Rent (BTR) Apart? BTR communities are purpose-built for renters, offering suburban-style homes with family-friendly amenities, lower turnover, and a home-like experience. With high tenant retention and steady rental income, BTR provides long-term stability.
🔹 What About Traditional Multifamily? Traditional multifamily properties, often found in urban areas, attract diverse tenants with proximity to city life. With higher appreciation potential and flexible exit options, these investments offer faster growth but often come with more turnover and maintenance needs.
Pros & Cons to Consider BTR: Ideal for those seeking stable, lower-maintenance income with suburban demand. Traditional Multifamily: Perfect for those looking for flexibility, rapid appreciation, and high-occupancy urban markets.
At SPARK, we guide investors in making informed decisions. Ready to explore your options? Read our blog for a full comparison to see how BTR and traditional multifamily can shape your investment success!
