Why do we love Multi-Family? May 2023
If you have been following us for any length of time, you probably know that we are extremely optimistic about the investment potential in commercial-grade, multi-family (apartment buildings) real estate, particularly when there is potential for value-add (hint: it’s all in the value- add!)

The real strength behind the CalTier fund is that it leverages the power of the crowd. The Multi-Family assets we invest in are incredibly desirable to many companies and institutions looking to purchase them. For most people, they are entirely out of reach.
