Asset Classes

Four Property Types. Four Strategies.

Each asset class plays differently. Retail is high-risk/high-reward. Office is steady income. Industrial is low maintenance. Multifamily scales fast.

Retail

Strip malls, boutiques, and shopping centers. High foot traffic, high turnover, high upside.

Risk: High Yield: 8-12%

Office

Class A towers and flex space. Long leases, stable tenants, predictable cash flow.

Risk: Low Yield: 5-8%

Industrial

Warehouses, logistics hubs, and flex space. Low maintenance costs, recession-proof demand.

Risk: Low Yield: 6-9%

Multifamily

Apartments and lofts. Multiple tenants diversify your risk. Scales beautifully.

Risk: Med Yield: 7-11%
