REAL ESTATE

MLC understands that real estate or property is one of the best hedge for funds in this dynamic global market. We help investors delve deeper into property investment by providing a platform that connects investors to the best opportunities in the market.

We aim to protect the investors from any risk in the market through enabling better investment decisions and portfolio distribution. The portfolio is diversified into different sectors of the economy (agriculture, hotels, residents, small businesses, etc) to reduce the risk on the downside due to volatility.

As usual the power of making sustainable returns from real estate lies in our ability to use leverage to purchase properties. MLC leverages on her track record to acquire properties in little or no cost (good debt). This helps us focus on our core abilities and maximize profit.

We have a team of educated people that help investors have access to multifaceted knowledge (our core value) and the networking required to bring this knowledge into fruition. With our experienced and competent team, we consistently identify available opportunities and “flip” supposedly low value assets into valuable long term properties.

REAL ESTATE PRIVATE EQUITY

Our investment strategy for real estate private equity deals with maximizing opportunities across various market cycles. This approach is flexible and value driven and protects investments. Our major emphasis is on ‘Capital appreciation’ through turning complex and supposedly low value investments into great bargains, but more importantly, ‘Capital preservation’ through our reputable management teams and sustainable structure.  

REAL ESTATE EQUITY PLATFORM

  • Reputable track record in value creation across diverse sectors
  • Competent management team having deep investment experience
  • Value identification in supposedly low valued assets

OUR STRATEGIES

MLC focuses on maximizing opportunities. We create an opportunistic system that maximizes profit potential as we understand that the majority of profit from the industry is amassed by assets that might have been originally perceived to ‘undervalued’. Our team focuses on understanding the pros and cons, and trying to find the balance between the risk and the reward of such onetime deals.  

The goal of striking deals and making purchases is to increase its total value in the market-place. We focus on adding value to lowly funded income producing assets and structures and then adding value to them either by increasing their perceived value or by making them produce more value.    

This strategy has some components of our ‘Maximizing Opportunities’ and ‘Value Addition’ strategy. We target assets that has the diversity and potential to a create long-term sustainable cash flow.

HOW WE MAXIMIZE THE ABOVE STRATEGIES

    •          Property management of rental property investment for stable passive income
    •          Purchasing and holding properties (rehabbing and holding)
    •          Purchasing and flipping properties (rehabbing then selling)
    •          Wholesaling of properties through striking deals
    •          The BRRR investing method: Buying, Rehabbing, Renting, Refinance, Repeat.

The best key for choosing the best strategy for investment is understanding through knowledge (our core value). Different investment opportunities come with different pros and cons, as well as diverse risks and rewards; this sometimes demands that we adopt different investment strategies, as well as the dynamics of maximizing them. This is where MLC comes in.

MAJOR FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE REAL ESTATE INVESTING

We adopt the following methods while choosing and advising partners to choose great deals

We don’t just look at the current situation of the location, but we consider the long term development potential of the region as the current valuation of the location can be a bargain

There are 3 major approaches we use to value real estate properties. The first is the ‘comparison method’ which seeks to compare the price of a property with other properties in the market with same characteristics. The second is the ‘cost method’ which takes into consideration the cost the construction if the property as well as the cost of the land, while subtracting the depreciation – this is suitable for newly constructed properties. The Third is the ‘Income Method’ that has the income from cash inflows as a valuation matric – this is suitable for rental properties 

Most properties are purchased for different purposes like for self-use, leasing, short and long term selling, etc. The purposes will be considered together with other factors like location.

We try to discern to what extent short and/or long term cash flow will be favored by inflation. We do this through deep cost-benefit analysis, understanding depreciation, etc.
