INEXPERIENCED SYNDICATORS VS EXPERIENCED PRIVATE EQUITY

1. Our improvement strategy attracts higher-earning tenants, in communities of economic growth to ensure our occupancy rates remain high.
2. By creating efficiency in operations through best-in-class teams, we are cost-effective and maintain the assets so we can sell high after the waiting period, while also ensuring our properties remain occupied.
3. We use rate cap safeguards in times of variable debt, although we primarily use fixed agency debt.
4. Our track record incorporates various real estate market cycles, we understand that in order to protect the asset we are transparent with our investor base, and may pause distributions to protect the asset.
5. Viking Capital has the breadth of knowledge and experience to understand what measurements are needed to protect our assets and investors’ capital for the long term.

The one major takeaway from the WSJ article is: “When you trust the wrong person, that’s the highest risk.”

And this is why now, more than ever, you need to invest with firms that have a strong reputation, best-in-class experienced teams, and a strong track record, like Viking Capital.
