Investments

Our strategy is simple. Versity takes an investor-centric approach to real estate investment, identifying investor goals and objectives, then creating strategies that align with those goals.

Newer Assets

Versity often acquires newer assets that we believe to be stabilized and well-located in strong markets. For these properties, Versity typically employs a more conservative buy-and-hold strategy where the property is held for a five- or six-year period. These assets are 1031 and IRA eligible.

Value-Add

Versity strategically invests in older properties with superior locations in markets that are experiencing significant demographic growth. Our strategy is to target rent growth potential and execute on a capital expenditure plan through upgrades, renovations and amenity improvements.

Diversified Portfolio

Versity believes that increased diversification has the potential help with capital preservation and safety. With this in mind, Versity created an LLC that owns smaller interests in various Versity properties. Investors can buy shares of the LLC and have direct ownership benefits of a more diversified portfolio. The LLC is IRA eligible but not eligible for 1031 exchanges.

Ground-Up Development

Every now and again, Versity will encounter a dilapidated property or a vacant plot of land with an ideal location near a growing university. For Versity, this can translate into tremendous upside potential through an all-new, ground-up development, especially in markets where demand is growing faster than supply and the current competitive set is antiquated or lacks modern appeal to today’s pickier students. In this case, Versity believes a well-executed strategy can potentially bring high returns. Keeping in mind, construction projects inherently bring on a number of risks and uncertainties. For these opportunities, investors should be sure the risks and benefits of a project are consistent with their goals and objectives.
