      <image:caption>The development of Daymark maintains a stable decision even in a “doomsday scenario” because, even in the case that the stock market crashes and dwellers sway towards renting instead, the luxury condo community can easily pivot to a rent-based sales plan without affecting the bottom line. All in all, with so much uncertainty in the world, it is important to continue to take risks that make sense for you, because you truly can’t have reward without a little risk.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Hands-On Vs. Hands-Off - Hands-On Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let’s say you choose to purchase an existing apartment complex with the intent of having a hands-on approach, you’re going to be personally active in ensuring that the property value increases over time. This most commonly will come from renovating and upgrading empty units between tenants, allowing you to charge a higher rent to the next tenant. After a few years, you may decide to sell your property. Not only have you seen sustained and increasing income due to the rising rent for incoming tenants, but you have also greatly increased its value over time, allowing you to likely sell it for substantially higher than your purchase price.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Hands-On Vs. Hands-Off - Hands-Off Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are looking to enjoy the benefits of real estate investment without having to be actively involved, you will likely take the hands-off, or passive, approach. One way to do this would be through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s), which are essentially companies that hold a portfolio of properties across multiple markets and pool investors’ capital together to purchase large real estate deals. There are also private placement offerings or “real estate syndications” which is a structure in which you pool your capital together with other investors in an equity or debt-based investment. In this instance, you are investing directly into the property, giving you direct ownership.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - COVID’s Impact on the Construction Industry - Projects that were well underway behind the scenes when the pandemic came along have been forced to revisit initial concepts and plans and resort to a plan B...or even plan C for some. Lead times on materials have increased exponentially, as well as become less reliable. Original material pricing that was approved in the bidding phases has also been shattered in many cases, due to the soaring costs of goods.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Full Steam Ahead - We're full steam ahead at Daymark, our luxury condo development project in Portland, ME. The site is bustling with activity and will continue to be for the next fourteen months. A lot has to happen in that short time span to bring this project together. In our previous blog post, you read about the construction timeline. We'd like to add some color to that timeline by describing some parts of the construction process.</image:title>
      <image:caption>All buildings need a strong foundation, and generally speaking, the taller the structure the stronger its base must be. Daymark is a seven-story building. The first and second floors are steel and concrete podium construction. This steel I beam base supports 5 additional floors. The third to seventh floors are wood frame construction, similar to a single-family home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Full Steam Ahead - The flooring materials selected are stylish and functional. The first two levels have concrete composite slab floors. All other levels have finished hardwood floors which are laid upon 1.25" of gypcrete for sound attenuation. It's also important that the walls do not transmit sounds. The building features double-wall construction and sound attenuating fiberglass and/or mineral wool between each unit. The framers are installing resilient channels on all common walls and corridor walls to reduce sound reverberation. Steel-reinforced PVC windows will keep the city sounds out of our clients' homes.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - IRR: Internal Rate of Return - What does it all mean?</image:title>
      <image:caption>IRR stands for Internal Rate of Return. Simply put, it's the annualized rate of return that an investor can expect to earn from a project. Companies use IRR to evaluate a project's viability and to compare projects to one another. For example, a manufacturing company may use an IRR calculation to determine if it's better to invest in expanding an existing facility or if it's better to build a new facility. Real estate investors use IRR to compare projects to one another. Generally speaking an IRR &gt;15% is considered attractive to most passive real estate investors.</image:caption>
