With the cap rate compression environment that we're in right
now, it's more important than ever for multifamily investors to be
creative about how they add value in order to increase rents and
get a good return on their investment.
In this week's podcast, we talk with James Donnelly, Founder
and CEO of Castle Group, which focuses on residential property
management. James discusses the 3 main strategies he employs to add
value to his company's investments and deliver top level services
and amenities to a new generation of every more demanding
residents.
The 3 main categories James uses to add value is:
-
Traditional value-add - e.g. painting, putting in a new floor, or adding new amenities
-
Technology - using technology to make you not only more efficient, but also using that as a revenue stream
-
Better management and service
Join us for this podcast as James gives his investment advice and his take on the multifamily market in Florida.
