WHY REAL ESTATE?
Cash Flow
Depending on the investment approach (core/core+, value-add, opportunistic), real estate investors are able to enjoy the immediate monetary benefits of cash flow. This is not seen in other investment vehicles like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and so forth.
Appreciation
One of the real estate sector’s greatest competitive edge is its risk adversity and degree of certainty for value appreciation over time. Real estate values are estimated to increase on an average of 6.9% year-over-year. While stocks are most profitable in the short-term, with diminishing returns and higher risk in the long-run.
Leverage
Real Estate debt is one of the most secure and fairly inexpensive when compared to venture capital and other opportunistic funds and businesses. It also extends the opportunity to "stretch the dollar" for generational wealth building, while other asset classes like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds do not.
Tax Efficiency
Real Estate investors are able to shelter their gains through an arsenal of tools including, depreciation, tax-sheltered exchanges, interest & capital expenses, and more. Depending on the investment approach, investors are able to remain tax-free anywhere between 1-10 years and beyond.
FAQS

Based in Los Angeles County, CA, and active in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, MCB specializes in investment and development of state-of-the-art mixed- use, Senior, apartment communities, office, retail, and light industrial properties since 2003.
MCB’s typical investor profile makeup consists of accredited high net-worth individuals seeking passive, risked-adjusted investment returns. We also partner with well capitalized landowners to reposition underutilized parcels within the Greater Los Angeles Vicinity.
Though there is no minimum investment amount, Metro Real Estate Group typically seeks no more than 3-5 investors per deal. We firmly believe in building lasting partnerships, and therefore would prefer our partners to remain invested in our assets. Diluting it with additional partners loses the personalized service we aim to provide for our financial partners.
Our deals are typically structured as limited liability companies. For each investment, we enter into a joint venture as the managing member and assume all responsibilities related to the properties’ success. As the manager, we will safeguard the asset and report earnings and major decisions to investors.
Metro Real State Group current deal size ranges between $10 to $30 million. This uniquely positions us above the saturated small investors market, but slightly below the institutional competition. However, we take a holistic approach towards investment underwriting and pursue any deals that yield our investors’ attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Our investment horizon varies by opportunity, but a typical business plan assumes a 3-7 year hold period.
