The 2026 Playbook: Own What People Use, Every Day

NOV 27, 2025
Written by John Makarewicz

Big idea: Investors are moving toward real assets—things tied to everyday behavior and recurring demand. Apartments fit that brief perfectly. As we head into 2026, here’s how we’re positioning and why it matters.

 

Make peace with the boring (that’s where the money is)

Portfolios are migrating from “what could go right” to “what quietly works.” Apartments are simple: income in, expenses out, and you can improve both sides with smart execution.

 

Focus on value, not sizzle

Residents want good kitchens, durable floors, bright lighting, safe grounds, pet areas, and easy package handling. They’ll pay for livability. They won’t pay forever for a rarely used, costly amenity. Our cap-ex targets what gets used every day.

 

Buy right, then let time help

We target below-replacement-cost acquisitions in metros where population and payrolls support leasing. Renovations move quickly, and the gap to Class A rents gives us room to grow without price shock.

 

Markets we like (and why)

Atlanta (and Newnan/DFW/Houston expansion): Scale, job diversity, pro-business environment.

➤ Tampa & Charleston: Strong in-migration and healthy rent-to-income dynamics.

 

What could go wrong—and how we plan for it

Rate or macro surprises: We underwrite conservatively and focus on controllable NOI.

Supply pockets: We buy below new-build pricing and win on value.

Insurance/weather: We diligence elevation and coverage and invest in resilience.

 

The investor takeaway

You don’t need perfect timing. You need a repeatable system with a sponsor who buys well, improves what matters, and communicates clearly. That’s how you turn calm execution into compounding results.
