Frequently Asked Questions - Multifamily

Florida's multifamily market is highly attractive due to:

• Robust Population Growth: Continuous in-migration from other states, driving strong rental demand.
• Favorable Tax Environment: No state income tax for residents.
• Diverse Economies: From tourism-driven areas (Keys, Naples) to major business hubs (Tampa Bay, Fort Myers), supporting varied renter demographics.
• Limited Housing Supply: A consistent supply-demand imbalance in many submarkets, pushing rental rates up.
• Strong Investment Fundamentals: Good cap rates and appreciation potential in key growth corridors. Each of our service areas presents unique investment profiles.

We employ a comprehensive strategy to identify properties with strong investment potential:

• In-depth Market Analysis: Reviewing submarket trends, including population growth, job creation, average household income, and rental rate comparisons.
• Financial Due Diligence: Rigorous analysis of rent rolls, operating expenses, historical occupancy, and pro-forma projections.
• Value-Add Potential: Identifying opportunities for increased revenue through renovations, amenity upgrades, improved management, or repositioning.
• Property Condition Assessment: Evaluating physical condition, deferred maintenance, and capital expenditure needs.
• Demographic Alignment: Matching the property's profile with the local renter pool.

We handle a diverse range of multifamily assets, including:

• Class A, B, and C Apartment Complexes
• Garden-Style Apartments
• Mid-Rise & High-Rise Apartment Buildings
• Student Housing (near university centers like Tampa)
• Senior Living Facilities
• Value-Add Opportunities (properties ripe for renovation)

• CMBS Loans: Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities.
• Private Equity & Debt Funds: For value-add or opportunistic investments.
