Es un hecho conocido que poseer bienes raíces puede ser uno de los mejores vehículos de inversión pasiva para usted. Más específicamente, edificios de apartamentos y bienes raíces comerciales.

Por eso, nos propusimos hacer que sea más alcanzable para los inversores invertir en estos increíbles activos generadores de riqueza con confianza. Como socio limitado, puede aprovechar nuestro tiempo, red y décadas de experiencia para generar tranquilidad con cada inversión que realice con nosotros. Hacemos todo lo posible para mitigar la mayor cantidad de riesgos posible. Tanto es así que no ofreceremos una oportunidad en la que no estemos invirtiendo nosotros mismos.

The Up Plex Mission

Elevating others by providing wealth-building, passive investment opportunities through real estate.

It’s a known fact that owning real estate can be one of the best passive investment vehicles for you. More specifically, apartment buildings and commercial real estate. However, it also comes with an incredible amount of complexities in trying to acquire such assets and we’ve found that to be the reason most beginner investors shy away from pursuing.

So we set out to make it more attainable for investors to invest in these incredible wealth-building assets with confidence. As a limited partner, you get to leverage our time, network, and decades of experience to create peace of mind with every investment you make with us. We do our best to mitigate as much risk as possible. So much so that we won’t offer an opportunity that we aren’t investing in ourselves.

Our Success Formula

Underwriting & Negotiating

Detailed underwriting determines the amount of negotiating that can be done with a seller on price and terms. Our experience allows us to properly analyze an asset and mitigate as much risk as possible for our investors.

Contract Review / Due Diligence

We have established the best legal and due diligence teams for our syndications. This allows us to simultaneously expedite two incredibly time-consuming tasks that most beginning investors struggle with.

Closing & Reassessment

There is more to closing than just signing on the dotted line and handing over the keys. There is an equal amount of critical work that needs to be completed soon after to ensure the success of a syndication.

Enacting Business Plan / CapEx

We identify and prioritize the necessary projects and execute them based on funding and critical need. Simultaneously, our expert CapEx team gets to work by coordinating with asset and property managers to assist in stabilizing the property.

Stabilization / Refinance

This process usually takes just over 2 years (depending on the market) and involves everything from completing CapEx, to ensuring organic fair market rent growth, to managing tenant turnover, all while working to decrease expenses.

Sale/Disposition

When it comes time to sell, we prepare the property to show as cost-effectively as possible. Once sold, we ensure that we properly close out business transactions and 3 months after the sale, we deliver all sales proceeds (return of capital) to our investors.

Nuestra fórmula del éxito

Suscripción y negociación

La suscripción detallada determina el grado de negociación que se puede realizar con un vendedor sobre el precio y las condiciones. Nuestra experiencia nos permite analizar adecuadamente un activo y mitigar el mayor riesgo posible para nuestros inversores.

Revisión de contrato / diligencia debida

Hemos creado los mejores equipos legales y de due diligence para nuestras sindicaciones. Esto nos permite agilizar simultáneamente dos tareas que consumen muchísimo tiempo y con las que la mayoría de los inversores principiantes tienen dificultades.

Cierre y reevaluación

El cierre implica mucho más que simplemente firmar en la línea de puntos y entregar las llaves. Hay una cantidad igual de trabajo crítico que debe completarse poco después para garantizar el éxito de una sindicación.

Implementación del plan de negocios / CapEx

Identificamos y priorizamos los proyectos necesarios y los ejecutamos en función de la financiación y la necesidad crítica. Al mismo tiempo, nuestro equipo experto en gastos de capital se pone a trabajar en coordinación con los administradores de activos y propiedades para ayudar a estabilizar la propiedad.

Estabilización / Refinanciación

Este proceso suele tardar un poco más de 2 años (dependiendo del mercado) e implica todo, desde completar el CapEx, hasta asegurar un crecimiento orgánico y justo del alquiler en el mercado, hasta gestionar la rotación de inquilinos, todo mientras se trabaja para reducir los gastos.

Venta/Disposición

Cuando llega el momento de vender, preparamos la propiedad para mostrarla de la forma más rentable posible. Una vez vendida, nos aseguramos de cerrar adecuadamente las transacciones comerciales y, 3 meses después de la venta, entregamos todos los ingresos de la venta (retorno de capital) a nuestros inversores.

Unlock Opportunities In Real Estate: Explore the Affordability GAP and How You Can Benefit Today

Passive Income| Blog| Multifamily

What is the Affordability Gap & How Can You, As a New Investor, Benefit From It?

This question came up recently, so I wanted to share my thoughts on it.

The real estate market goes through cycles, but one thing always holds true—there's always opportunity if you know where to look. Right now, we're in a prime moment for new investors to get started, and it's all because of something called the affordability gap.

So, what exactly is the affordability gap? Simply put, it’s the growing difference between what people can afford to pay for housing and the actual cost of homes. With rising interest rates, inflation, and limited housing supply, owning a home has become harder for many. While this might sound like a roadblock for homebuyers, it’s actually a huge opportunity for real estate investors like you.

Here’s why:

More People Are Renting
As homeownership becomes less affordable, more people are turning to rentals. This increased demand for rental properties means that, as an investor, you can enjoy consistent cash flow from rental income. More renters = more demand for what you own.
Properties Are Being Sold at a Discount
In today’s high-rate environment, some sellers need to offload their properties, and they’re willing to give a discount to do it. This is especially true for distressed properties or those that aren’t performing well. This is your chance to pick up properties at a lower cost, setting yourself up for strong returns as the market stabilizes.
Long-Term Property Value Growth
Real estate has always been a solid hedge against inflation. Yes, prices might fluctuate in the short term, but over time, property values tend to rise. By getting in now, you’re positioning yourself to profit not only through rental income but also from the long-term appreciation of the property.
Timing the Market Cycle
The market isn’t going to stay like this forever. When interest rates eventually drop or stabilize, property values are likely to surge as more people can afford to buy again. By investing now, you’ll lock in today’s prices and reap the benefits when the market swings back up.

So, while the affordability gap is making things tough for homebuyers, it’s opening doors for savvy investors like you. The key here is timing—get educated, take action, and start securing assets while prices are still reasonable and rental demand is high.

Happy investing!
