The Ultimate Investing Experience

Austin has seen a massive inflow of new residents. More and more people have left high cost, high tax locations for a more spacious and friendlier business environment. The business environment continues to flourish with growth in the tech sectors and manufacturing. Best of all, we think this trend is likely to continue.

This has benefitted all categories of real estate. Including raw land, development land, single family homes, multi-family residential, warehousing and logistics. Even certain categories of office and retail have seen a boost. Both in the city of Austin, and the greater Austin area, investment property opportunities abound.

This migration of people and money has already pushed real estate prices upwards in every part of metro Austin. As the new post-pandemic economy emerges, many analysts believe these trends will accelerate. Many real estate investors in the Austin area anticipate a long-term increase in average rent and housing prices. These expectations make rental property investing a valuable prospect.

Market investing will benefit from the forward-thinking companies that harness the wave. But savvy private equity real estate investing today will ensure broader economic and wealth-building. In this way, the benefits of “real economy based” real estate price appreciation are shared by investors. These investors are now able to build a complementary real estate investing strategy into the core of their portfolio

most financial advisors and wealth managers overlook opportunities in real estate. Instead, heavily favoring equities, fixed income products, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and market funds. They consistently overlook growth oriented opportunities in real estate.

Without question, these other vehicles are all important parts of a diversified portfolio. After all, the markets have largely done well over the past few years. But relying on financial products alone means you are, at best, leaving money on the table. Certainly it means you are not maximizing your hard-won wealth.
Until recently there weren't many ways for individuals to participate in the wider real estate market in a scaled manner.

Traditional Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have largely been limited to institutional investors. Even when available to individual investors it is still the case that financial advisors often “go with what they know” instead.

This extraordinary blind spot within the financial services sector led to an inevitable reaction. Namly the emergence of private equity companies focusing on real estate investing. But they remain rare, even in a market as vibrant as Austin TX.

The obvious benefits being a more diverse portfolio and higher overall returns. Only a firm such as Ballard can provide a carefully researched, data-driven, selective ownership approach.
