Since our inception nearly 10 years ago, Gatsby has carved out a profitable niche in the Los Angeles real estate market by developing multi-family structures from the ground up.
We have traditionally packaged these developments as real estate syndication deals, allowing investors to buy shares in pre-vetted multi-family construction projects, controlled by Gatsby as the syndication sponsor. And our investors have been thrilled with the impressive returns generated from these opportunities!
These syndicated developments will continue to be a cornerstone of Gatsby’s offerings. But there is a growing demand among high-net-worth investors for new construction multi-family buildings that they can own independently.
That’s why Gatsby launched the Multi-Family Built-for-You Developments. With this investment model, individual investors can outsource the development of their new apartment building to Gatsby Investment while retaining full control over the completed build!
5 Key Benefits of Gatsby’s Multi-Family Built-for-You Developments
Here are the five primary advantages of investing in Gatsby’s Multi-Family Built-for-You program.
1. Passive Real Estate Development
You don’t need to bring prior development experience or industry connections to the table. Gatsby has completed dozens of these developments throughout Los Angeles and has the professionals and systems in place to efficiently manage the purchase, construction, and lease-up of your new property.
Let the experts at Gatsby handle the process from start to finish while you focus on your commitments and passions.
2. Maximized Property Value
Building from the ground up creates an opportunistic investment that allows us to add value at each stage of development. We can tailor the building to meet the needs of local renters, creating higher tenant demand and maximizing your property’s value.
Our team of analysts has identified key features that drive demand and value in the LA rental market while being cost-effective, including in-unit laundry, on-site parking, and outdoor spaces.
3. Higher Return on Investment (ROI) Potential
In addition to the increased ROI capacity of building rather than purchasing a turn-key rental, investors can leverage Gatsby’s local expertise and industry relationships to maximize ROI potential.
Having built so many multi-family structures in the area, we have the system down to a science. We know how to navigate building permit approvals, negotiate lower prices on materials, and access favorable construction loan rates. This stretches your investment capital and ultimately returns a higher ROI.
4. Sole Ownership
Gatsby handles the build and stabilizes the property on your behalf, allowing you to retain full equity. The stabilized property is then turned over to you, giving you full control over the future of the property.
As the sole owner, you can refinance, renovate, or sell whenever (and however) you choose. You can even pass along the property to create generational wealth for your children and grandchildren if you wish.
5. Expert Management
With Gatsby’s Multi-Family Built-for-You Developments, you’re effectively outsourcing the entire development and lease-up process to experienced professionals. This includes:
- Finding suitable lots
- Due diligence and project planning
- Establishing an ownership LLC on your behalf
- Designing and permitting
- Site preparation
- Labor and material sourcing
- Construction financing
- Overseeing the actual construction
- Accounting
- Filling the completed building with qualified tenants
We handle every aspect, providing a hassle-free experience for you!
