BAM CAPITAL’S STRATEGIES
The BAM Companies: Who We Are
The BAM Companies is an institutional multifamily real estate owner/operator operating three different brands under its umbrella:
BAM Capital is the private equity arm of The BAM Companies. We offer our family of investors access to premier real estate investment opportunities, transparent stewardship of capital, a means to achieve portfolio diversification, and tax-advantaged, long-term wealth creation.
BAM Management is the property management arm of The BAM Companies. We strive to hire the most professional and knowledgeable staff to ensure a pleasant experience for all residents. Our direct involvement with the day-to-day management of our properties and residents provides the necessary levers for income growth and cost control.
BAM Construction reviews every aspect of the property and determines the best value when upgrading the exteriors, interiors, and amenities. BAM Construction has multiple qualified construction and renovation specialists on staff to keep projects on time and within budget. [1]
Who does BAM Capital partner with for its debt financing?
The lender/bank is our most significant partner in a real estate transaction. We are lucky to have a preferred relationship with a publicly traded national bank, giving us superior lending terms in the multifamily market. [1]
What is the competitive advantage of BAM Capital?
The BAM Companies was born in property management, which is a fundamental competitive advantage. Today, we have over 200 employees and are vertically integrated from the people on the ground to property management and the corporate team. This culture gives us a higher degree of confidence in executing our strategy. The BAM Companies invests in its people. Our leaders autonomously make decisions within their departments and execute the business plan. When asked about the culture of The BAM Companies, the first word that readily comes to mind is family. Here, we call it the BAMFam. [1]
What is the value-add strategy at BAM Capital?
Multifamily is all about the ability to add value. Why? Because every dollar that we can bring to the bottom line (net operating income, or NOI) of an asset creates anywhere from a 17 to 20 multiple when it’s time to sell. This multiplier effect is why value-add strategies are essential in multifamily. Even small increases in NOI can increase the property’s value when it’s time to sell.
First, we target markets where people are relocating, and employment generation, demand, and good schools for children living at the properties are nearby.
Second, we seek assets providing opportunities to reduce costs through managerial efficiencies.
Third, we seek properties with the ability to add improvements. That might mean the amenity center, a gym that has not been touched in a few decades, a pool that needs new furniture/cabanas, or cosmetic upgrades for all units. Adding value is simple. Executing can be challenging, but it comes down to great markets, reducing costs, and raising rents. [1]
What does BAM Capital look for in a target market?
BAM Capital prioritizes market fundamentals, which means attainable institutional-quality Class A multifamily assets in secondary or tertiary regions with in-place cash flow and proven upside potential. Historically, the Midwest, Mississippi Basin, and Great Lakes regions do not boom or bust. In Indianapolis, for example, rent growth has been 2.9% for almost 40 years. It is the tortoise versus the hare theory of investing. [1]
How does BAM Capital hedge against market volatility?
Our team works tirelessly to navigate market volatility in the capital markets and the competitive real estate landscape. We operate with high expectations of continuing to outperform on behalf of our investors through value-added strategies such as operational expertise and managerial efficiencies. We will not acquire assets dependent on an interest rate environment or whose success is predicated on things we cannot control. Through uncertainty and volatility, we focus on expertly operating institutional quality assets in exceptional locations. [1]
Does BAM Capital get its financial services through private lending?
No. BAM Capital exercises due diligence with our most significant partner, a publicly traded national bank. Borrowers of private lenders may face higher interest rates than traditional loans, which can increase the overall cost of borrowing. [1]
Does BAM Capital apply the BRRRR strategy?
No. We specialize in acquiring and managing institutional-quality multifamily communities. As a vertically integrated owner/operator, we have more direct control over asset performance than other real estate sponsors and asset managers. The BRRRR strategy is generally most relevant to individuals or small groups of partners looking to focus on single-family homes or small duplex or triplex properties. Therefore, the BRRRR strategy is inapplicable to our current institutional goals. [1]
How does BAM Capital master tax efficiency and growth?
We focus on long-term capital growth with tax advantages through joint ventures and multifamily funds. We aim to balance cash flow, capital preservation, and capital appreciation while providing risk-adjusted returns in private markets. For example, our Preferred Credit Fund is semi-liquid and tax-efficient, with a minimum investment of $250,000. It’s securitized with institutional assets and offers a redemption option. [1]
What is the social impact strategy at The BAM Companies?
At The BAM Companies, we utilize our team’s talents to execute tailored impacts in Indianapolis and other communities in which we operate. We seek partnerships in these communities through organizations that align with our company’s and our teams’ core values.
Our continuous objective is to focus our energies on Firefly Children & Family Alliance in Indianapolis as they look for opportunities to improve the lives of their clients at the family level, a value the BAMily can stand behind. We accomplish this through event sponsorship, employee volunteerism, funds for improvement to aid the Rachel Glick Courage Center and Children’s Shelter, child abuse prevention, and adoption and domestic violence services.
We have implemented sustainability practices such as green fixtures, low-flow toilets, water-efficient faucets, and more at the property level. Internally, The BAM Companies includes a robust sexual harassment and fair housing training seminar for all employees, regardless of experience or expertise, to ensure equal housing opportunities and eliminate discrimination. Similarly, we have built an in-house committee system for various initiatives, including DEI and philanthropy, to craft new opportunities and fortify our efforts. [1]
