Our Strategies
Investing in multifamily properties can be intimidating without the right strategy. With a comprehensive, detailed strategy going in, you can feel much more confident and prepared. This leads to you making better, smarter investing decisions. Below, Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro have provided resources that will help shed light on some of Jake and Gino’s most effective investing strategies.

Buy Right, Finance Right, Manage Right ®
Every successful multifamily investment has these three elements "Buy Right, Manage Right, and Finance Right". If one if these elements is weak, then your investment is in peril.

Three Pillars of Real Estate ®
When analyzing an investment, the focus needs to be on the Three Pillars of Real Estate: Market Cycle, what part of the cycle is your market in. Debt: What type of debt are you going to secure for your investment. Exit Strategy: Is this a short term or long term hold? The investment needs to be analyzed by this holistic approach.

The SPY Technique ®
The SPY technique of negotiation: The first and most important consideration needs to be on the seller and how you can solve their problem. The next consideration is on the property and if it fits your business model. Finally, your objectives will be considered to see if and how the deal makes sense.

JAKE & GINO'S 3 PILLARS OF VACANCY ™
There are only three reasons that an apartment unit stays vacant: the condition of the unit, the ineffectiveness of marketing the unit, or the price of the unit.

Three Pillars of Property Management Fees ™
There are three types of fees that property management companies charge their residents

The Conveyor Belt Theory ™
The Conveyor Belt Theory of Real Estate is a concept to describe how a real estate portfolio is built over time. The beginning of the belt represents a closing. The end represents a liquidity event (sale or refinance). The concept shows us how wealth is built through cash flow, during the ownership of the asset and how capital gains are created by the appreciation of equity and paid at the liquidity event. If capital gains are reinvested (back to the front of the belt), wealth is created with each cycle.
Not Your Average Multifamily Investing Seminar But a Full-Blown Bootcamp
Many of us have been to an investing seminar. You might hear a few speakers, talk to some people in the industry, and walk away with a few tips that might help you on your investment journey.
