Diamonds in the Rough: Value Add Acquisition, Renovation & Management Strategies for a Picked-Over Market
National multifamily investors continue to be bullish on Texas, a region that has been generally been seeing both low vacancy rates and steadily rising rental rates. The result is a very competitive market that has been somewhat picked over. While Texas hasn’t been faced with rent regulation like other major markets across the country, investors are particularly concerned about how the region will be impacted by changes in trade as well as politics. Taxes, supply and the state of the oil market also weigh on investors’ minds when acquiring properties in Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.

Multifamily Capital Markets: Debt & Equity Sources, Activity, Terms & Structuring
Despite high seller pricing and high competition in Texas markets, there remains plentiful equity and debt capital for new deals. With low interest rates and a bumpy stock market, both institutional investors and private capital sources are actively investing in multifamily acquisitions and development in Texas. However, not all deals fit neatly into the buckets of large volume players, and these deals often require non-traditional capital solutions to bridge the gaps in their capital stacks.

Texas Multifamily & the Way Forward: Investment & Development Strategies for Today’s Market
The Texas Triangle comprises some of the fastest growing cities in the US, leading the nation in population growth and job growth. Multifamily inventory in many markets across the state is struggling to keep up with demand, creating expanding opportunities for developers and investors from across the region and the nation.
