Real Estate Investing in a Post-COVID World

Why Multifamily Investments? Resiliency through COVID & ideal market cycle timing real estate is cyclical and has traditionally been on a 10-year cycle, with some exceptions. Industry data suggested real estate was at the top of the market with compressed cap rates and low cost equity aggressively chasing multifamily real estate. With the onset of COVID-19, the cycle was quickly shortened, creating a unique opportunity for the entrepreneurial operators who had the technology and knowledge to manage the upheaval of a worldwide pandemic. Learn how Chicago real estate firm RUME USA implemented a system that excelled through the challenges of the pandemic and serves as a model for real estate investing in a post-COVID world.

Because of RUME’s entrepreneurial inspired operating system with its commitment to technology and strong leadership, the firm’s occupancy rates, through the pandemic, maintained 95% as a portfolio and collections were managed very methodically, leading affected residents to State and Federal Cares Act programs to recover any sizable bad debt.

Entrepreneurial operators like RUME can take advantage of the contraction phase, which is where the buying opportunities are prevalent.

We believe RUME’s core target asset acquisition strategy is unique and opportunistically positioned for growth opportunities while mitigating real estate cycle risk.

RUME applies creative and entrepreneurial thinking to all aspects of owning, managing, and investing in real estate assets. Our Community Occupied Rapid Renovation Program (CORR) is RUME’s proprietary repositioning strategy that entails renovating multiple interior apartment units in a day, while keeping the building occupied. Exterior and amenity areas are simultaneously completed. Since its founding, RUME has acquired 23 projects totaling more than 4,500 units.

RUME works to add value during the holding period and then seeks to exit within three to seven years from acquisition.
