By Yuriy Gelfman, principal at Olive Tree Holdings Real estate investing is best viewed through the relatable lens of child rearing. An investment enters life with two parents — a limited partner (LP) and a general partner (GP). The parents really want their little investment to do well in life. The investment’s journey through life is full of obstacles and potential dangers, but through this metaphor, we can breathe life into a topic that can be dry on paper. Pre-Birth Planning An investment is born out of the good intentions of the GP. But how does the GP select the right opportunity to invest in? In the multifamily segment, there are 13 million apartments contained in large communities split among tens of thousands of properties in several hundred markets. This really is a lot of real estate. It’s important to not fall in love with any opportunity based on arbitrary or subjective reasons. We seek opportunities that are: 1) scaled 2) located in growth markets 3) acquireable at a large discount to replacement cost and 4) are underperforming immediate peers. Each acquisition takes a significant amount of time to identify, negotiate, arrange financing for, staff, asset manage, construct and ultimately …
