Investment Strategy
Why Multifamily Real Estate?
Multifamily real estate offers a proven path to consistent cash flow, long-term appreciation, and significant tax benefits, making it an ideal asset class for passive investors. Residents pay rent monthly, generating steady income, while property values often rise over time. Investors benefit not only from cash flow and equity growth but also from tax advantages like depreciation and cost segregation. Multifamily properties, especially in high-demand markets, provide a resilient and scalable investment vehicle to grow wealth and achieve financial freedom.
Why Invest Now?
The multifamily market is uniquely positioned for growth. Rising home prices and higher mortgage rates have made single-family housing less affordable, driving demand for rentals. At the same time, a slowdown in new apartment construction has created a supply-demand imbalance, further supporting strong occupancy and rent growth. As interest rates stabilize and inflation drives up rental income, multifamily properties remain a reliable hedge against economic uncertainty. With favorable business and tax policies anticipated under the incoming Trump administration, including the potential reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, the timing has never been better.
Our Target Deal Criteria
Aura Equity focuses on acquiring multifamily assets in business- and landlord-friendly markets with high employment and population growth. Our primary emphasis is on Texas, particularly the dynamic Dallas-Fort Worth market. We target properties with 75-150 units in strong submarkets, Class B assets ideally built in the 1980s, and stabilized with 90%+ occupancy. We prioritize opportunities with existing loan assumptions offering low, fixed interest rates to maximize returns for our investors.
A Conservative, Data-Driven Approach
Our underwriting process is grounded in current and historical market data, verified by industry experts. We meticulously review expense budgets, cost segregation estimates, and local market surveys to ensure rents align with reality. We use conservative assumptions, including reversion cap rates, and maintain ample working capital and reserves to navigate unforeseen challenges. This disciplined approach prioritizes stability and long-term success, ensuring that we deliver consistent returns to our investors.
About Syndications
What Are Syndicated Investments?
Syndicated investments allow multiple investors to pool their capital to acquire and operate high-quality assets—such as multifamily properties—that may be out of reach for individual investors. In a syndication, the roles are divided:
- General Partner (GP): Aura Equity serves as the GP, responsible for identifying investment opportunities, securing financing, managing the property, and executing the business plan.
- Limited Partners (LPs): Passive investors like you participate as LPs, providing the capital needed for acquisition and benefiting from the returns without the responsibility of active property management.
In addition to serving as the GP, Aura Equity also invests as an LP alongside our investors. This collaborative approach enables everyone involved to share in the success of a well-managed investment.
Who Can Participate?
Our investment opportunities are open to both accredited and sophisticated investors.
- Accredited Investor: This is defined by the SEC as someone with a net worth of $1 million (excluding their primary residence) or an annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 for joint filers) for the last two years.
- Sophisticated Investor: Individuals who may not meet the income or net worth criteria but possess sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment.
If you’re unsure of your eligibility, we’re here to help.
Benefits of Syndication
Investors can benefit from syndicated investments in several ways.
- Lower Individual Investment: By pooling resources with Aura Equity and other investors, you gain access to high-value properties with far less capital than would be required to purchase them on your own.
- Passive Income: As an LP, you earn returns from rental income and property appreciation while leaving the day-to-day operations to us.
- Tax Advantages: You'll enjoy benefits such as depreciation and cost segregation, which can offset future gains or even reduce your taxable income.
- Professional Management: We handle all aspects of the investment, from acquisition to operations, so you can focus on other priorities.
Syndicated investments empower you to diversify your portfolio, reduce risk, and participate in large-scale real estate deals without the need for extensive capital or expertise.
