As the market shifts and opportunities arise, we are poised to guide our investors through this changing environment, ensuring long-term success. Here’s why now is the right time to invest, and how Ackermann Group is strategically positioned to help you capitalize on these advantages.
A Buyer’s Market: The First in 20 Years
For the first time in two decades, we’re seeing what can be described as a true buyer’s market in real estate. The demand for rental housing continues to outpace supply, and the slowdown in new developments post-2025 will only widen this gap. Nationwide, the housing shortage is estimated to be around 3 to 4 million units. While this figure varies by region, our focus on secondary markets in the Midwest and Southeast allows us to target areas with significant supply-demand imbalances. This means we are able to acquire high-quality assets at favorable valuations, offering strong long-term growth potential.
Capitalizing on Favorable Financing Conditions
As we look toward the end of 2024 and into 2025, we’re optimistic about seeing more favorable financing conditions. Lower interest rates provide the opportunity to secure better deals, allowing us to continue our strategic acquisitions in a declining interest rate environment. Historically, some of our best investments have been made under these conditions, and we see this trend continuing.
Value Add and Core Plus Strategies: Creating Value, Securing Returns
At Ackermann Group, our investment strategy is divided between value-add acquisitions and core-plus properties. About half of our portfolio focuses on value-add opportunities, where we take underperforming properties, significantly improve them, and then reposition them to achieve higher rents and better returns. The other half of our portfolio follows a core-plus strategy, where we focus on operational efficiency—improving curb appeal, managing maintenance, and optimizing property operations for long-term holds. We typically hold our properties for 7 to 10 years, giving us ample time to maximize value and ensure consistent, stable returns for our investors.
Real Estate as a Hedge Against Market Volatility
One of the key benefits of real estate, particularly in the multifamily sector, is its stability. Unlike public markets that experience higher volatility, real estate investments offer consistent cash flow, preferential tax benefits, and the potential for appreciation. At Ackermann Group, we pride ourselves on actively managing our assets to ensure they align with evolving market conditions, enhancing their intrinsic value over time.
Real estate also serves as a hedge against inflation, making it an essential component of a diversified investment portfolio. The ability to generate higher risk-adjusted returns, combined with tax advantages and lower correlation to public markets, means real estate can act as a stabilizing force in times of uncertainty.
