Strategy
Our value-add platform is grounded in sound investment strategies and sensible underwriting principles. The company's strategy focuses on improving Class B & C apartment communities and selecting new multi-family projects that fall into certain categories in the secondary and tertiary markets nationwide.
We constantly seek new acquisition opportunities in our target markets. Our strong deal-sourcing relationships grant us preferred access to available properties and portfolios, often before they come to market.

Value Add
WE CAPITALIZE ON VALUE PLAYS
Owner self-management leads to mismanagement.
Management companies are poorly supervised.
Maintenance that has been put off
Vacancies are plentiful.
Rents that are below market
At FOXALPHA Ventures, we use the following value-add strategies:
Improve curb appeal by adding landscaping, dog parks, and carports, among other things. When a property is in better condition and offers facilities, residents are willing to spend more.
Buying a property at a discount of 10% or more from current market rents. This provides us the option to raise rents while also increasing the property's worth.
Proactive management and robust communication among functional teams ensure swift and thorough execution of our business plan with each acquisition.
