Welcome to the Fort + Home blog, where we dive into the world of real estate investment, unveiling the transformative advantages of aligning with a vertically integrated company. Today, we’re discussing our all-encompassing approach, covering everything from property acquisition to asset management.
⌂ Understanding Vertical Integration
What is Vertical Integration?
In the real estate realm, vertical integration signifies a company's capability to control the entire investment process. This includes initial property acquisition, planning, development, construction, asset management, and finally, selling the property. It's akin to a loop, where the output of one iteration becomes the input for the next, creating a perpetual flow of progress.
⌂ The Fort + Home Advantage
A Unified Approach to Real Estate Investment
Fort + Home exhibits the concept of vertical integration by seamlessly combining Fort + Home Capital, Fort + Home Realty, Fort + Home Developments, and Fort Asset Management under the Fort + Home umbrella. This holistic approach ensures that investors benefit from a cohesive and streamlined experience.
⌂ The Journey: Acquisition to Asset Management
1. Acquisition:
Fort + Home initiates the journey by identifying prime real estate opportunities. Our expertise allows us to pinpoint properties with the most potential for growth and profitability. Notably, properties are purchased below replacement cost, typically yielding equity out of the gate, thereby reducing risk.
2. Planning:
Strategic planning is the linchpin of successful real estate ventures. Fort + Home's in-house team, in collaboration with our trusted expert partners, meticulously crafts plans that not only maximize returns but also minimize risks. The planning phase is critical to delivering the highest returns with the lowest risk, acknowledging that the value of development opportunities lies in the final product.
3. Development:
With a focus on quality and efficiency, Fort + Home Developments takes charge of turning plans into reality. The hands-on approach ensures projects stay on track and exceed expectations. Focusing on the location of the build and the best use of space, Fort + Home sees the most value in developing land and existing buildings within the “path of progress”; areas where people want to live and operate businesses.
4. Construction:
Quality construction is paramount in real estate. Fort + Home oversees the construction phase with a commitment to delivering properties that stand the test of time. The key focus areas in any construction project are being on-time, on-budget, and producing a product at the highest quality. Building strong relationships with professional partners, contractors, and suppliers in the areas of operation ensures the best finished product, setting the asset above the competition.
5. Asset Management:
The journey doesn't end with project completion. Fort Asset Management takes the reins, ensuring optimal performance and returns on investment. This comprehensive control over the entire process translates to reduced risks for investors. The team ensures that the assets are performing at the highest level, and our investors are truly investing passively.
