Over the past year, Gatsby Investment’s Build-to-Rent projects have become one of the most popular opportunities on our platform, and for good reason. This model combines the equity growth of new development, the stability of rental income, and the tax advantages of long-term gains, all in one strategic investment.
A Proven Strategy Designed for Today’s Market
The Build-to-Rent model is designed to provide investors with multiple layers of value in a relatively short timeframe. It combines the upside of multifamily development with the consistency of rental income, a favorable tax position upon exit, and the ability to sell at a prime sales price that maximizes returns for our investors.
What makes this strategy especially effective right now is timing. The market is currently in a buyer’s phase, which allows Gatsby to secure projects at favorable prices. By the time today’s Build-to-Rent projects reach their planned exits, conditions are expected to shift toward a seller’s market. This positions our investors to benefit from buying at the right time and selling at a stronger one.
Here is how it works:
Here is how it works:
- Ground-up construction: Investors build equity during the development phase, typically around 18 months.
- Rental income: Once construction is complete, the property is leased to tenants, generating quarterly rental distributions.
- Strategic sale: After a 12-month rental period, the stabilized property is sold at an optimal market price, helping to maximize overall investor returns.
Why Investors Choose the Build-to-Rent Model
The Build-to-Rent model continues to attract investors for its balanced approach to growth, income, and flexibility.
Key advantages include:
- Multiple layers of return: Equity growth, rental income, and tax benefits.
- Short overall timeline: Most projects are completed in approximately 2.5 years.
- Stronger resale potential: Stabilized assets appeal to more buyers since they are already occupied with tenants and are easier to finance.
- Flexibility on exit: Because the property is income-producing, we have flexibility on timing the sale without high carrying costs during the marketing period.
- Tax advantages: Profits are treated as long-term capital gains, which help investors keep more of their returns after taxes.
