Dansker Capital Group hosted the Escaping NYC: Investing In Alternative Markets Seminar at the Scandinavia House on September 13, 2018. The Q3 panel was focused on multifamily acquisition strategies outside of the five boroughs. We had a diversity of viewpoints with sponsors focused on the Central Midwest (Schnee), the Upper Midwest(Beal), and the Southeast (Kalikow). Overall, the panel provided a fascinating window into the variety of multifamily strategies that are available to geographically adventurous owners. Simultaneously, the panelists seemed to unanimously exemplify the notion that the money in real estate is in the ability to add value. The panelists each operate in markets of varying occupancy, rent levels, appreciation potential, and tenancy; yet, they are each intent on buying buildings that were worth less than they could be once modified, cleaned up, expanded or otherwise improved.
