Why Capstone
Unveiling Opportunities in High-Growth Markets
Driving Growth through Strategic Real Estate Management
At Capstone Asset Management Company, we strive to identify real estate assets in high-growth markets with above-average development potential. Our pledge to use data-driven decision-making tools enables us to acquire properties at optimal prices and enhance the performance of our assets under management.
We have an unwavering commitment to acquiring, managing, and sustainably growing our portfolio. This measured approach creates a conservative mindset with regard to risk mitigation while maintaining an aggressive approach to maximizing returns, thereby improving the communities we serve.
Behind these ambitious goals is a team with over 100 years of collective experience and an established track record across various economic climates. With expertise in diverse real estate markets, we understand what it takes to create success in any market.
As an established industry leader focused on bringing value to our communities, we convert undervalued and under-utilized properties into income-producing assets. Our excellence shines through in the acquisition, development, and management of our portfolio.
We rely on the following core strategies to maintain our reputation as an industry leader with high integrity.
1. Strategic Property Identification
We collaborate with local real estate experts in our target markets to identify below-market properties with substantial upside potential. This collaborative approach allows us to concentrate on specific high-growth areas that meet our buying criteria. It also allows us to identify, evaluate, and select the most promising assets for our portfolio within those given markets.
2. Discounted Property Acquisition
Leveraging partnerships with local appraisers and home inspectors, we gain comprehensive insights into a property’s value and potential before making acquisition decisions. While we aim to secure properties at discounted rates, we remain astute in assessing each potential asset, even when economic conditions dictate market-rate purchases.
3. Negotiation Excellence
Our contract specialists work tirelessly to secure favorable prices and advantageous acquisition terms. Beyond price negotiations, we often seek concessions related to closing costs, closing dates, and necessary repairs that positively impact our bottom line.
4. Value-Driven Property Enhancement
Value-add projects play a pivotal role in increasing a property’s value and rental income potential. We address deferred maintenance and undertake selective upgrades while maintaining cost efficiency. High-value renovations, such as smart features, enhancing bathrooms and kitchens, and improving energy efficiency attract tenants, helping us to maximize rents and drive property appreciation.
5. Effective Property Management
Our proficient administration structure lowers operating costs while attracting high-caliber tenants. We prioritize tenant satisfaction through streamlined rent collection processes and responsive service calls. A seamless customer service experience enhances tenant retention and creates a living environment that keeps tenants happy once they put their trust in us.
6. Optimized Occupancy and Rents:
Balancing high occupancy and competitive rent rates is a strategic imperative for operating efficiency. To achieve these ambitious goals, we make prudent decisions regarding property renovations and implement customer-centric processes. Cost-effective unit upgrades, designed to attract new tenants and reduce turnover, are integral to our approach.
7. Long-Term Focus
Maintaining a farsighted approach is fundamental to our business strategy. It drives our ability to diversify, mitigate risk, and achieve sustainable growth. While real estate does not submit to fast and frequent volatility, it does experience economic cycles that create opportunities for higher appreciation and growth. Taking the long-term approach allows us to weather up and down cycles strategically.
8. Flexible exit strategies
Our exit strategies rely on flexible guidelines that avoid rigid terms that would compel us to refinance or sell assets at inopportune times. Retaining the ability to adapt to market conditions allows us to capitalize on opportunities created by external economic dynamics. Adapting might result in refinancing when interest rates fall or selling in favorable market conditions, helping us minimize risk and enhance profits as we strategically expand and evolve our portfolio.
