Strategy for Passive Real Estate Investing
At Wilkinson, we strategically focus on Value-Add and Core Plus multifamily real estate investments where we are able to control revenue and expenses in order to improve Net Operating Income. Multifamily is our focus as it has historically outperformed other commercial real estate asset classes, and is a great hedge against inflation. In the multifamily asset class, we own hundreds of units across multiple properties and multiple markets producing a diversified cash flow and diversified risk.
Strategy
We seek to identify real estate investment opportunities in rapidly growing markets with diverse, local economic dynamics that provide growth potential and significant barriers to entry. Wilkinson has a proven track record of increasing the value of each of our properties through our value-add and core-plus strategies, with an average increase over purchase price on multifamily properties of 70.5%.
Our Strategy
Successful Implementation Of Business Plan
For each new acquisition, we evaluate approximately 80–100 properties and select the ones with the greatest potential for added value.
Our firm targets middle-market workforce housing (class B ad C assets). These properties are historically more resilient to the effects of localized economic fluctuations and have greater stability in value overall.
We target apartment communities where the most value and improvement can be created. We reposition assets in the marketplace by rebranding and stepping up the look and feel of the property.
By setting realistic and attainable goals, each community we have acquired, improved, and sold has met or exceeded our expectations.

Value-add Strategy
We acquire properties that have the potential for enhancement through various means such as improving operational efficiency, renovations, rebranding, and more. The goal of our value-add strategy is to increase the property’s rental income, improve its physical condition, and ultimately boost its overall value.
Core Plus Strategy
The core plus strategy aims to strike a balance between stable income generation and long-term appreciation. Core Plus properties are typically well-located and may already produce reliable rental income, but they may also offer some opportunities for improvement or growth.
Acquiring Investment Assets
At Wilkinson, we take a purposeful and precise approach when evaluating potential acquisitions in the multifamily real estate sector. Our acquisition criteria are carefully crafted to target Value Add and Core Plus properties, where we have the ability to exercise control over both revenue and expenses, resulting in a significant enhancement of Net Operating Income. To ensure a well-diversified cash flow and effectively manage risk, we have curated a portfolio consisting of numerous units across multiple properties and markets. By meticulously adhering to our detailed acquisition criteria, we can leverage the proven success of the multifamily sector and deliver sustainable returns for our valued investors.
Acquisition Criteria
We use the following criteria to identify the best investment properties; although an individual property we acquire might not meet all criteria:
- Major Growth Market
- Attractive Property Type
- Market-Rate Rents
- Confirmed Growth
- Year 2000 or Newer Construction
- Favorable Purchase Price
Confirmed Growth – Assessment Evaluation of location based on demographics, local growth plan and in-person visits to review the market. The Fund Manager will strive to acquire Fund assets in five- to 10-year growth paths in order to achieve optimal investment exits.
- Year-2000 or Newer Construction – Older properties will be considered if the Sponsor or its Affiliates believe they are in a B+ or better location with a significant value-add story.
- Favorable Purchase Price – We will seek to negotiate purchase prices at or below replacement cost.
