518: Why It Makes Sense To Start A REIT

There are different strategies for scaling a Real Estate portfolio. You can raise money from friends and family, you can syndicate deals from accredited investors, or you can create funds with multiple assets. Instead of these options, Nate Reichard, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Reichard Capital, is starting a private REIT. A REIT provides more efficient access to capital and therefore an enhanced ability to acquire more properties. Unlike funds, REIT operators don’t have mandates on when to dispose of assets, so they can benefit from longer-term execution of business plans and strategies.  Nate Reichard’s initial fund is in the multifamily space and will be seeded by his existing portfolio.
