What are the major overlooked markets currently?
What markets do you believe are currently undervalued? I would love to hear people's opinions on whats the next hot market- something along the likes of Nashville, a market that was overlooked in the last 10 years or so but has been on fire recently. As well reasons you are bullish on that market.
No, we’re a REPE that focuses on core-plus/value-add industrial. We focus primarily on class-B infill product in which we can move the unlevered yield 100-150 bps in 3-5 years. Our business model is to strategically aggregate properties in close-ended funds to $1BN - $1.5BN in AUM, and then dispose of them as a portfolio to larger groups such as Blackstone, TPG, etc. Part of our strategy is to mix in some secondary/tertiary markets to gain exposure to higher yield. Our thought process (which has proven successful) is that if we are careful not to overweight the portfolio with non-primary markets, we can capture tremendous value on those higher yield properties we acquire outside of primary markets when we dispose of the entire portfolio.

I think to become an up and coming city, you have to have a killer airport with direct flights, otherwise living there is a hassle. Minneapolis has my vote. Great airport, great public trans, and great ars scene.
