Real Estate Investment

Until recently, real estate was one of the best kept secrets in the investment community. It is an asset that major investment institutions have formally embraced as a part of their portfolios for the last century. Among institutional investors it is no secret that well located, high quality real estate can provide an excellent return on investment, high current income, and a significant hedge against inflation. Studies have found that returns from real estate were higher during times of inflation and lower during periods of disinflation.

Structuring partnerships and operating agreements - Joint ventures (JVs) or partnerships in the real estate world are the preferred method for marrying financial capital and real estate expertise.

Joint ventures allow DRG to expand the company business model and employ real estate expertise while preserving the flexibility of capital on the balance sheet, creating a greater level of diversification. The high level of skill required to participate successfully in the real estate market inhibits many financial investors from directly owning or developing property. Due to DRG market knowledge, DRG is in a unique position to participate in joint venture activities.
