Why Invest in Multifamily and Self-Storage Real Estate?

Commercial Real Estate Investments Have Better Returns Than the S&P 500

A snapshot of the past 30 years shows that real estate investment trusts consistently outperformed the S&P 500, and that’s without taking fees and taxes that arise with stock investments into consideration. The effects of fees, taxes, and inflation on stock market investments can cut their returns by more than 50%. On the other hand, real estate syndication returns routinely yield more than 12%, with lower volatility and huge tax benefits. Investments in multifamily properties and self-storage facilities are great hedges against inflation and recessionary periods. For more information, download this Morningstar Report.

Multifamily Properties: Low Risk Profile With Above Average Returns, Even In A Recession

According to the CBRE, US Multifamily Research Brief (March 2019), during the Great Recession (2007-2009), multifamily rents were more resilient than those of office, industrial and retail. Multifamily rents have outperformed those of the other major property sectors during and after the recession in three ways: (1) the sector experienced the lowest level of rent decline, (2) the fastest recovery to pre-recession peaks, and (3) the longest post-recession period of rent growth.

Recessions result in significant increases in single family home foreclosures, thereby creating more renter households. Multifamily real estate is uniquely positioned to be an excellent hedge against market downturns.

Tax Advantages Used by the Wealthy

The wealthiest 1% in the United States utilize the tax advantages of owning investment property to miminize or completely eliminate their tax burden, and it’s entirely legal. You too can benefit from our tax laws by being a passive investor in multifamily real estate.

Passive Income and Legacy Wealth

You’ve worked and saved your whole life. Chances are you’re already investing in the stock market, either individually or through a retirement account. You might also be investing in real estate by purchasing the home you live in. But will your savings and social security be enough to fund your retirement? Investing in passive income yielding assets can signficantly contribute to your retirement funds and even create legacy wealth that you can pass on to future generations or charities that you admire. Let us show you how.

Why Partner with All Capital Investments

Exceptional Investments

We analyze hundreds of deals, but only about 3% of those make it to the next step, and then only a small portion of those actually make it through our conservative and strict underwriting criteria to purchase. Some of our deals are for accredited investors only, but others welcome sophisticated investors too. If you’re not yet an accredited investor, you can start out small with us and grow as your returns do.

Experienced Syndication Team

We are a team with over 60 years of business, financial, legal, and real estate experience who you can count on to buy, manage, and sell our investment properties with your best interests as our guide. We are principled, hard-working, and 100% focused on creating legacy wealth for our investor partners.

Transparency and Communication

You will never have to wonder or guess what’s happening with your investment once it is placed with Sparks Blackthorn Capital. We will be in touch as much or as little as you want us to be. And with a dedicated client portal that keeps all of our communications and documents at your fingertips, you’ll never have to worry about missing paperwork or the latest news.

Risk Management

There are myriad ways in which we manage risk at Sparks Blackthorn Capital, from having cash reserves to cover not only capital expenditures but also unexpected costs, to purchasing adequate insurance coverages issued only by A+ rated companies, to underwriting conservatively so as to identify and weed out hidden problems. We secure long-term debt to extend beyond any potential market correction periods and transition into agency debt as soon as feasibly possible.

Education

We want our client partners to feel comfortable with their investments and with our relationship. That’s why we offer free educational resources here on our website and via our monthly newsletter. If we find a book or other source of excellent investment advice or information, we’ll be sure to share it with you or help you access it.
