Getting The Band Back Together

[Andrew L.]

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.

From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.

Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF. I have invested in or funded (equity & debt) thousands of units in dozens of states with or on behalf of a variety of domestic and non-U.S. private equity funds, family offices, and institutional investors, and also co-founded / operated several businesses.

I’m still figuring out where opportunities are / will be and consume a wide variety of materials. I’m a big mosaic theory person and try and recognize/find the value in every(one/thing). Right now (Q3 2024) everything seems overbanked/overbought.

Currently, my focus has been purposely broad but currently split between:

A) SF business (wholesaling/rehab) I was asked to take over (on almost no notice – am still badly catching up) and

B) Small balance MF and mobile/manufactured housing (<~50-100 units for physical/operational value add)

I have made some progress on each but not where I would like to be although I have just recently gotten involved in the sub-institutional space again.

Feel free to connect, happy to chat, happy to help you if I can, and look forward to seeing everyone out on the field!
