Deep dives

Indefinite Hold Strategy

The concept of indefinite hold in real estate is centered around the long-term ownership of well-located properties rather than focusing on short-term financial metrics like Internal Rate of Return (IRR). This approach is influenced by the success stories of families that have accumulated wealth through resilient property ownership practices over decades. The strategy contrasts sharply with traditional real estate private equity, which prioritizes rapid flippings and IRR-driven goals, leading to potentially unsustainable business behavior. By promoting a philosophy of holding properties indefinitely, investors may foster stability within their portfolios while contributing to long-term community development.
