Overview


DVO Real Estate, a successful investor in ground-up and value-add multifamily properties since 2012, is seeking up to $250 million for its fourth equity fund


Will pursue a “gap equity” investment strategy in which sponsors subordinate their equity until the fund achieves a 10% IRR


David Valger leads an accomplished team with extensive experience in all aspects of real estate investing, finance, development and management


Strategic partnership with Cypress Equity Investments (CEI), a successful CRE platform – provides additional expertise


Invested in almost $330 million of equity and generated a 21% net IRR to investors on realized transactions for gap equity transactions and 27% net IRR to investors for GP co-investment transactions


Opportunity


The US housing market (including multifamily) faces chronic shortages, as new construction has not kept pace with household formation


The National Association of Realtors estimates the housing shortfall at 5.5 million single family homes and multifamily units, a gap which could take ten years to close


The cost of owning a home has surged ahead of renting, favoring the rental market


Multifamily remains “solid”: 16% increase in rents as of June, 2022 and occupancy well above average


About 25% of Millennials, the nation’s largest generation, believe they will always rent primarily due to the lack of affordable homes as well as the increased flexibility of renting


Solution/ Strategy


Target value-add and new development opportunities with successful sponsors that have access to superior opportunities


Focus on regions with strong and diverse job markets, favorable demographic trends, growing population of renters, and an undersupply of rental product with high barriers to entry


Leverage relationships with intermediaries to gain access to off-market transactions or seek direct relationships with sellers to acquire at favorable pricing


Strategic partnership with CEI adds the perspective and expertise of a successful developer that can also assist in managing DVO projects if necessary


The DVO team has collectively and independently invested in 20,000 units with an aggregate transaction capitalization of $5 billion+
