Show Notes

Zihao Wang, CEO at Motiva Holdings, discusses their value-add multifamily investment strategy and portfolio growth. They focus on both Southern California and other markets such as the Texas Triangle and the Midwest. In Southern California, they target two types of value-add plays: properties with mom and pop owners who haven't raised rents due to rent control, and properties with sophisticated operators who have already added value but still have rental upside. Zihao explains how rent control affects their strategies and the challenges of re-tenanting properties. He also discusses their capital raising approach, return projections, and the benefits of investing in different markets.
