What is a value-add multifamily investment strategy?

A value-add multifamily strategy involves purchasing an apartment asset with operational, physical, or financial inefficiencies and implementing targeted improvements to increase the property's Net Operating Income (NOI). Because commercial property values are derived by dividing the NOI by the market capitalization (cap) rate, every dollar generated in operational savings or rental growth exponentially compounds the asset's value.
