5. The Psychology of Emerging Markets with Adam Altman, Managing Member, The KABR Group

The Dealmakers’ Edge with A.Y. Strauss

Inspired by the bustling, ever-changing neighborhoods of his youth, featured guest Adam Altman believes that the most profitable real estate investment portfolio is fueled by a clear understanding of the people – merchants, employers, employees, government officials, etc. – behind the community.
Altman and host Aaron Strauss discuss how that demographic understanding has always been part of The KABR Group’s approach to acquisitions and how the funds' savvy purchases (100+ assets), sales (50+ assets), ongoing operations (45 assets), and impressive investments (thousands of apartments, millions of square feet of office space, and nearly a billion dollars in construction) may have even sparked Jersey City’s development renaissance.
Additional highlights include:

• Altman's take on the best way to become part of the commercial real estate industry;
• The essential factors he considers when buying assets and which assets he believes give the best returns;
• How to handle setbacks, mistakes, investments that don’t align as anticipated; and
• The importance of having great mentors and eventually becoming one yourself.
