Why Durham
Why We Buy Multifamily In Durham
Three things keep Durham apartments leased: Duke University and Duke University Health System, biotech and pharmaceutical firms in Research Triangle Park, and North Carolina Central University.
Durham has reinvented its old tobacco district into offices, restaurants, and loft apartments, while graduate students, hospital staff, and lab workers fill rentals across the city. Older duplexes and small walk-up buildings near campus sit alongside newer suburban complexes to the south toward Research Triangle Park.
In Ninth Street and Southpoint as much as Downtown Durham, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

Durham Seller FAQ
Which parts of Durham do you buy in?
We look across the city and its surroundings — Downtown Durham, Ninth Street, Brightleaf, and Southpoint — and we will review a property outside those areas on its own merits.
Why is Durham a good place to own rentals?
The renter base in Durham draws on Duke University and Duke University Health System, biotech and pharmaceutical firms in Research Triangle Park, and North Carolina Central University, which gives well-run apartment buildings a steady pool of tenants.
Will you buy a Durham property that needs work or has high vacancy?
Yes. We regularly evaluate value-add, mismanaged, and distressed multifamily properties and underwrite them as they are today — no repairs or lease-up required before selling.
How does a sale to you work in Durham County?
Send the address, unit count, and any financials. We give feedback, then a written letter of intent if it fits, followed by diligence and a closing date that works for you.
