Up Up & Away!: Texas’ Booming Multifamily Development Market

Due to immense population and employment growth, Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Marcos, Frisco, and McKinney are among the top 15 most rapidly growing cities in the country. As a result, Texas has a growing need for multifamily housing, perhaps more than any other state. But with rising construction costs and interest rates nationwide, as well as slowed rent growth, how do you deliver a product that people can afford? Where can you cut costs while battling it out with your competitors over amenities? What kind of long term strategy do you have in place to see you through?

A Race to the Finish Line: Property Management & Operations in High-Tech Texas

In this era of Amazon, property managers in Texas and across the US are trying to keep up with the ever-changing advancements in amenities. As more and more startups and tech companies are establishing headquarters in Texas, the pressure to meet the demands of these new, sophisticated renters is at an all-time high. How are companies reshaping their organizations and management style to accommodate them? How are they renovating outdated properties, retraining talent, and re-establishing new systems for communicating with tenants? And how will potential new legislation affect the entire way they do business?

No Grit No Pearl: Texas’ Value-add & Redevelopment Opportunities

Investment in Texas often means less regulation, easier permitting and no state income tax, as well as continued job growth, a lower cost of living, and more accommodating weather than in many other key US markets. With plentiful inventory to burn and rising land and construction costs, capital sources around the country are putting their money in Texas’ B & C class assets, creating quality apartments that attract those who can afford higher rents. But it’s become quite a competitive landscape. What strategies can redevelopers use to drastically cut their window of renovation time? How can smaller firms compete with larger firms and their in-house operating partners? Which Texas submarkets provide the best deals and which markets are tightening?

Treading in Murky Waters: Multifamily Capital Raising, Investment & Borrowing

With multifamily development reaching its peak in 2018, volatile financial markets, and the drop in oil and gas prices late last year, 2019 has been more uncertain for Texas multifamily investment. There’s still an abundance of capital to finance multifamily construction and development, but finding the appropriate deal may be a bit trickier. How will you navigate multifamily financing landmines? Will you partner with an investor or go out on your own? Where are Texas’ opportunity zones?
