Intelligent Investments, Intelligently

We create value for our investment partners by adhering to strict institutional discipline.

Investment Philosophy

At ORKA Holdings, our passion and mission are one in the same: to draw from real life experience and acquired skills to create positive strategies that help every investment partner reach their goals.

Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that insular investment yields are achieved by investing in mature, job-centric, supply constrained markets. In-house research allows us to select submarkets with the highest reward per unit of risk. These submarkets typically attract capital market inflows/outflows providing liquidity to execute our strategy.

We tailor a strategy for each investment and execute the strategy in a multistage approach. This ensures our capital is efficiently utilized, our strategy is perfectly executed, and our risks are mitigated. We are multifamily specialists at our core.

Core Competencies

Macro and micro economic trends drive our real estate markets. We use in-house research to track leading indicators, capital market dynamics, demographic shifts, and supply / demand relationships.

Acquisitions are our strong suit. We have a knack for seeking out the best investments in our markets and acquiring their value for our investment partners.

When we acquire our desired investment, we rehabilitate the property to pursue value creation and mitigate downside risk. Each capital improvement project is cost engineered to maximize return and resident satisfaction.

Real estate investment is an ongoing process, which is why we actively manage property operations and prudently invest in the property’s presentation.

Investment Approach

ORKA is a multifamily specialist with geographical focus along California’s coast. Being experienced multifamily practitioners, we are keenly focused on market trends, investment fundamentals, and property operations. We’re consistent in our delivery and ensure a transparent process for everyone involved.

As part of the analysis, we consider:

In-house market research
Propriety investment modeling
Total return analysis – return attribution
Third-party report engagement and review
Local municipal data research
Full legal review and documentation
Recent sale comparables and local rent comparables
Capital improvement bid review from strategic partners

We pride ourselves on our ability to make strategic acquisitions and develop value through regimented oversight, capital improvements, and active management. We approach acquisitions comprehensively, curated with our investment partners in mind.

Investment Strategy

We base our acquisition strategy on something different here. We look at high income growth, not high-risk situations that end unfavorably for all parties involved. We like properties suffering from mismanagement, low credit tenancy, capital starvation, and absent owners. These properties typically possess below-market rents, deferred maintenance, lack of competitive amenities, and absence of effective marketing.

We drive value by:

Curing deferred maintenance and driving the property to market perform.
Repositioning the property to suit residents in the local market, improving property cash flow.
Creating an effective marketing campaign to attract high quality residents.
Improving property operations through cost management and new ancillary income streams.
Undertaking extensive, annual business planning reviews and quarterly reassessments.
