Episode 35: Achieving Massive Success with Distressed Multifamily Assets
A lot of people thinking of purchasing value-add real estate may think of properties that have 85% or greater occupancy, some deferred maintenance, and have some light interior renovations needed on units. Over the past several decades, Pankaj Sharma and his family have been taking on some of the toughest multifamily projects, one of which had occupancy around 20% at acquisition. Pankaj’s real estate investment strategy centered around his company’s motto of “strong, steady, stable” has helped him rebuild communities while achieving incredible success.
