FAQ: “What advice would you give to investors looking to diversify?”

Warren Buffett says, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” Real estate structurally enforces patience.

Unlike equities or bonds, real estate lacks instant pricing or easy liquidity. You can’t check a screen and exit an investment with a click.

That’s precisely one of the things that makes it powerful in our opinion. The lack of liquidity reduces volatility and emotional selling, especially during market shocks.

The very characteristics that make it “inconvenient,” also make it resilient, durable, and a strong store of value-especially for investors who understand and embrace the long-term horizon. We feel it forces long-term thinking, encourages operational value creation, and discourages panic.

In this video, Altus CEO Forrest Jinks explains why he allocates heavily to real estate: durable cash flow, long-term value creation, and a compelling risk-return profile.

Traditional lenders are pulling back. Credit is tightening. And real estate investors across the country are turning to private capital to fund their projects.

That’s where the Altus Secured Income Fund comes in.

We’ve built a real estate debt fund that originates and acquires first deed of trust loans – the senior-most position in a property’s capital stack – secured by real assets.

The Fund is designed to deliver consistent monthly income through an 8% annualized preferred return, with the potential for additional yield above that.

At Altus, the current environment reinforces the value of underwriting discipline, long-term fixed-rate debt, conservative structure, and operational control.

It also reinforces the importance of having multiple ways to participate in the current market.

In some cases, that may mean direct ownership at a reset basis.

In others, it may mean providing capital through better-protected positions in the capital stack, including senior secured lending opportunities where the basis, collateral, and structure are attractive.

That is one reason the Altus Secured Income Fund remains an important part of our platform today.

We believe the coming period may create meaningful opportunities for investors who can remain patient, avoid fear-driven decision-making, and invest with the right basis, structure, debt, and operating plan.

Distress is painful, but when approached carefully, it can also become the source of future opportunity.

FAQ: Why do rent growth numbers vary so dramatically?

The answer usually comes down to what’s actually being measured.

In this clip, CEO Forrest Jinks breaks down why one source may show rent growth moving in one direction, while another source appears to show the opposite.

The difference often isn’t a contradiction. It may be a matter of property class, market segment, unit count, or most commonly, the difference between asking rents and effective rents.

That distinction matters, especially in markets where concessions, rent control, or lease structures can make the headline number tell only part of the story.

Altus is humbled by the reinvestment rate of its investor community.

Since the company's inception, Altus has had a 91% reinvestment rate among its investors, and the Altus team works hard to nurture and preserve all its investor relationships.

Here’s something most debt funds won’t tell you: when a loan goes bad, the real test isn’t your paperwork. It’s whether you know what to do with the property.

Many private lending funds are run by financial professionals. They’re great at structuring loans, but if they need to take back a property, they’re in unfamiliar territory.

Altus is different.

Our team has spent over 20 years acquiring, managing, and repositioning real estate across multifamily, industrial, retail, and residential asset classes.

We’re operators first. That means:

→ We understand where the risks actually lie in a property – not just on a spreadsheet

→ If we need to take a property back, we have the in-house team to manage it, stabilize it, and protect/create value

→ Our underwriting is informed by operational reality, not just financial modeling

This built-in real estate expertise is one of the most important – and least discussed – advantages of investing in a debt fund managed by experienced operators.

Debt or equity — which belongs in your real estate portfolio?

Forrest Jinks, CEO of Altus Equity Group, breaks down how sophisticated investors think about this decision and why the answer is rarely one-size-fits-all.

The best opportunities in real estate right now aren't where most people are looking.

At Altus, we’re seeing the most opportunity in multifamily in pre-2000s product and stabilized assets with attractive yield potential.

This doesn’t mean we’re ignoring newer assets, but broadly, we’re seeing attractive risk-adjusted opportunities in older, quality assets where pricing has reset and cash flow matters.

Geography matters here too.

Midwest markets largely avoided the overbuilding that has pressured parts of the Sunbelt — and that restraint is showing up in occupancy and rent performance today.

The Sunbelt remains on our radar long term, but it demands patience and precision on basis. We’re not in a hurry there.

Knowing where to look — and where to wait — is how we think about deploying capital in a market like this one.

This month’s Altus Insight explores a topic that many would prefer not to consider: the growing forces that could shape the next decade of economic, social, and geopolitical change.

Drawing on historical cycles, demographic trends, and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence, this Insight examines how technological disruption, elite overproduction, and rising societal tensions may be converging in ways that create significant uncertainty ahead.

While no one can predict the future with certainty, understanding these broader forces can help investors think more clearly about risk, resilience, and portfolio construction in an increasingly complex world.

In commercial real estate, the so-called “debt wall” is real, but its impact is nuanced—especially in multifamily.

Much of this debt sits with balance sheet lenders and debt funds that operate outside the FDIC’s reporting, which makes the picture less transparent.

In this clip, CEO Forrest Jinks breaks down what the debt wall really means for refinancing, why it keeps shifting, and why understanding the nuances matters for investors.
