Great company, great opportunity

Unpopular opinion: Scaling your real estate portfolio isn’t just about owning more properties. It’s about owning the right properties. Here's how I scaled up while staying in control. Step one: specialize. I focused on multifamily real estate because it offers economies of scale. Managing ten units in one building is far simpler and more profitable than handling ten single-family homes scattered across a city. Specialization creates efficiency. The second step is setting up systems. Before I scaled, I implemented automated rent collection, routine maintenance schedules, and clear processes for tenant screening. These systems saved me time and minimized the chaos that often comes with growth. Delegation is critical. Early on, I tried to do everything myself and hit a wall. Hiring a property manager let me focus on scaling rather than being stuck in day-to-day operations. While it’s an upfront cost, it saved me money and time in the long run. Financing can make or break your strategy. I learned to prioritize loan terms that aligned with my goals. Instead of chasing the lowest interest rates, I focused on terms that supported cash flow and gave me the flexibility to grow at the right pace.

Many businesses believe hiring an in-house real estate director is the way to go. But did you know a fractional director can bring superior results? For example, we recently helped a client renegotiate multiple leases across regions, saving over $500K annually and aligning their portfolio for growth. Let’s chat about how we can do the same for you.

Asset Management Product Hiring Update    I have had a few conversations with heads of product recently who have asked for an update on hiring trends within product this year. I thought it would be worth sharing what I have observed in 2024.   A few highlights below:    ·    In Q1 we saw a massive lull in hiring for permanent staff across all areas of product. We also noticed some contractors having their assignments ended early. ·    A number of product heads felt they had over-hired in the past 18 months and sometimes overpaid for talent.  ·    Q2 brought some hope, with some firms hiring within product management, often with regulatory experience as a priority.  ·    Alternatives still bucked the trend, with firms looking for real assets experience throughout 2024 ·    Q3 has really kicked off with hiring across multiple firms. Hiring managers have focussed on candidates who have “end to end” product experience.  ·    It's positive to see firms investing in their product development teams, this has been across both public and private markets. ·    Most hiring managers are content with their teams, but are tending to replace with more junior team members who they can train rather than overpay.     All in all, most heads of product are making positive sounds, but they are all being extra careful when hiring, ensuring they get the right person.

Active hiring is always a good sign, and it seems like 26North, the alternative asset management firm launched by Apollo co-founder Josh Harris, is following this trend. According to eFinancialCareers, the workaholic ex-Apollo boss is doing some heavy hiring for his new platform. #hiring #alternativeassetmanagement #26North #finance #businessnews
