Grounded Solutions Network's Alex Cabral examines one possible intervention to return #affordablehomes to the market: combine the best of the real estate investment fund model with shared equity homeownership to preserve an accessible wealth-building strategy for millions of low-income families.

Investing in real estate has profoundly changed my life in numerous ways. Here are three significant changes that stand out: 1. Financial Freedom and Security Before diving into the real estate world, like many, I was navigating the traditional path of earning a living. However, investing in real estate opened a new avenue for generating passive income and building long-term wealth. Through strategies like wholesaling, flipping properties, and smart property investments, I've been able to create a steady flow of income that doesn't tie me down to a 9-to-5 job. This shift has granted me not only financial freedom but also the security and peace of mind knowing that I have a solid financial foundation. It's been transformative, providing me with the resources to support my family and pursue passions without the constant worry about financial stability. 2. Personal and Professional Growth The journey into real estate investment has been one of immense personal and professional growth. Every property deal, every negotiation, and every market analysis has been a learning experience, pushing me to constantly evolve and adapt. Real estate has honed my skills in critical thinking, decision-making, and strategic planning. More so, it's taught me the importance of resilience and persistence in the face of challenges. These growth experiences have shaped me not just as an investor, but as a mentor and leader in the community, empowering others to achieve their real estate goals. 3. Community Impact and Legacy Perhaps the most fulfilling aspect of investing in real estate has been the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the communities in North and South Carolina. By focusing on providing clean, safe, and affordable housing, I've been able to contribute to the well-being of countless families. It's about more than just transactions; it's about creating homes and fostering community development. This aspect of real estate investment has allowed me to leave a lasting legacy, one that aligns with my values of giving back and supporting those around me. Seeing the direct positive effects of my work on individuals and communities has been incredibly rewarding and a constant reminder of the power of real estate to change lives for the better. These changes are not just personal milestones; they embody the essence of what we strive for at REITactical. It's about leveraging real estate not only to achieve financial success but to foster community growth, personal fulfillment, and leaving a meaningful legacy.

Important discussion about institutional investment in the development of affordable housing.

Last week I attended the Institutional Investors in Multifamily Affordable Housing event at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The event provided insights into the impact strategies of pension funds, corporations and family office investors. Panelists included representatives of large institutional asset managers, including Ola Oyinsan Hixon of PGIM Real Estate and Amanda Nunnink of Kayne Anderson. Some key takeaways, included the following: ·      Pension funds are looking for opportunities to invest in affordable housing and other forms of impact investing. However, in their minds (and rightfully so), they are already providing a social good which is securing the retirement of millions of Americans. Thus, they are also looking for competitive returns. ·      Investing in affordable housing has the potential to provide risk adjusted returns when compared to other asset classes given its tendency to be recession resilient and have lower turnover/higher occupancy compared to Class A multi-family. ·      To increase the supply of affordable housing, we need to build more housing. Given that new construction generally requires a larger equity check than preservation deals, investing in the development of new affordable housing developments dovetails well with the need of asset managers to put out equity. ·      Open-end funds might be a more appropriate investment vehicle for affordable housing investments given that they are probably a better fit for longer-term holds. Closed-end value-add funds generally require increasing property values through pushing rents (and potentially displacing tenants) to hit their projected returns. However, partnering with an experienced affordable housing minded operator and purchasing at a low-basis can still lead to the long-term preservation of affordable housing as well as competitive returns for investors. I also had the pleasure of meeting Ofo Ezeugwu, Founder and CEO of WYL (WhoseYourLandlord), a company that gathers and converts resident feedback into insights that help landlords make more data driven capital and social service program improvements that can lead to increased retention. Ofo has a bright future and I’m excited to see how he will shake up the multi-family industry!
