What Strategies Does Clarity Employ?
Core Plus. Value Add. Office Conversions.
Core Plus.
Consistency: This conservative approach provides a stable source of income with low risk, making it an attractive option for investors seeking dependable returns.
Diversification: Investing in core plus properties is a great way to diversify your portfolio and spread your risks across multiple investments.
Long-term Growth: This strategy is aimed at providing long-term growth, perfect for generational wealth builiding and consistent income.
Value Add.
Higher Yield: These investments offer higher yields than core plus apartments, allowing greater returns over a shorter period.
Upside Potential: The value add strategy is aimed at finding properties with potential for forced appreciation with attractive current yield. Which means higher realized returns with less risk.
Flexibility: By adding value to properties, we can make them more attractive to tenants, increasing occupancy rates, cash flow and valuations.
Office to Multifamily Conversions.
High Returns: Redevelopment opportunities offer the highest potential returns of all the investment options we offer, allowing you to earn substantial profits relatively quickly.
Equity Appreciation: Our redevelopment projects offer the potential for significant equity appreciation, making them an attractive option for investors seeking to build wealth rapidly.
Sustainable Income: By converting office buildings into multi-family properties, we can provide sustainable income streams that will continue to generate cash flow for years to come.
