Investment Strategy

Price Realty Corporation (PRC) is a trusted multifamily investment and management company that takes pride in delivering impeccable service for our investors, creating value and building lasting relationships that offer favorable investment opportunities.

Our Strategy

At Price Realty Corporation (PRC), our investment strategy is to target core-plus and workforce acquisitions of well located multifamily properties in and around the four core markets of Texas: Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.

Our investment criteria is to seek acquisitions that generate current cash flow and strong long-term internal rates of return. These acquisitions include well-located assets with good economic upside potential, as well as opportunistic, REO and note acquisitions from banks, special servicers, and debt funds.

Investment Process

We begin the investment process by underwriting and touring potential acquisitions. The underwriting process is led and reviewed by our investment and management teams. This process enables us to leverage our investment experience and market-based knowledge at the asset level to provide a more accurate forecast in our underwriting.

For every potential acquisition, PRC completes a comprehensive due-diligence report that includes a multi-year financial and deferred maintenance summary, market research, lease audit and a unit-by-unit physical inspection.

Due to our strong alliances with long-term lenders and investors, PRC can move quickly on potential acquisitions that offer favorable investment prospects.
