Real estate investing isn’t just about buying properties—it’s about buying the right assets, adding value, and creating long-term wealth.
Today, I want to share a real success story from one of our investors, who turned a $100K investment into $227K in just 4 years—completely passively.
📍 The Investment: A Multifamily Apartment Community in Fayetteville, NC
A few years ago, a syndicator we fund, the DeRosa Group, acquired a multifamily apartment community in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
At the time, the property was underperforming, with outdated units, below-market rents, and operational inefficiencies. But we saw a clear value-add opportunity to improve the property and increase its profitability—all while delivering strong returns for our investors.
Here’s how we did it.
🏗️ The Value-Add Strategy: Renovations & Rent Growth
As the General Partner (GP) in the deal, our team at DeRosa Group executed a strategic plan to enhance the property and boost rental income:
✔️ Renovated outdated units with modern finishes and appliances
✔️ Improved community amenities to attract quality tenants
✔️ Optimized property management to increase efficiency and reduce expenses
✔️ Raised rents to match market rates, increasing overall property income
These improvements directly increased the property’s Net Operating Income (NOI), which drove up its value significantly—allowing us to refinance and return investor capital early.

💰 The Investor’s Returns: How $100K Became $227K
One of our investors placed $100,000 into this syndication alongside other passive investors.
Here’s how their returns broke down over 4 years:
📈 Steady Cash Flow: The investor received $27,000 in cash flow distributions from rental income.
🏦 Full Capital Return: After increasing the property’s NOI, we refinanced the asset and returned 100% of the investor’s initial $100K.
🏡 Profit from Sale: When we sold the property at a higher valuation, the investor received an additional $100K in profits from appreciation.
✔️ Initial Investment: $100,000
✔️ Total Cash Flow Earned: $27,000
✔️ Total Profit from Sale: $100,000
✔️ Final Return to Investor: $227,000—without lifting a finger.
That’s 2.27X their original investment—and they got their entire $100K back before the sale even happened.
Why Passive Investing Works
This investor didn’t have to:
❌ Find or underwrite the deal
❌ Manage renovations or tenants
❌ Handle the property’s day-to-day operations
They simply invested alongside us, earned quarterly cash flow, got their capital back early, and still participated in the final sale upside—without doing any work.
