STRATEGY

Preserving Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing

Our disciplined, collaborative approach to real estate investing focuses on acquiring and revitalizing multifamily properties that will maximize our investors’ returns and improve tenants’ quality of life without pricing them out of their homes. We infuse each property with a unique personality and meaningful purpose with a goal of stabilizing communities in the Upstate and throughout the southeast.


Join us on our journey as we use our customized investment strategies to bring modern, energy-efficient, affordable living to the Upstate of South Carolina.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

We aim to identify assets in markets with strong multifamily fundamentals, employment growth, population growth and other key demand drivers. All the properties we acquire have value-add characteristics that include the ability to reposition the asset through capital improvements and upgrades, renovating the interior units, improving operations, decreasing expenses and creating other revenue-generating projects.
