A Value Driven Approach
When Blue Whale Collective invests in a property we take a value add approach. While that strategy is common, our deployment of it is not. BWC takes a comprehensive approach to adding value stretching well beyond simply improving the physical structure or cosmetic finishes in an apartment. Additional areas we analyze are as follows:
Modern
Conveniences
Modernize management processes to decrease expenses and make rent collections more efficient for both tenants and staff.
Practical Tenant
Education
Offer access to financial and nutritional education classes to improve tenant retention.
Support
that Matters
Guide tenants through rental assistance and housing subsidy applications when needed/appropriate.
Growing with
Our Tenants
Promote home ownership to our tenant base including offering them access to our off market renovation deals.
Practical Tenant
Education
Offer access to financial and nutritional education classes to improve tenant retention.
Building
Resilience
Participating in meaningful projects that build resilience, including: community gardens, sponsoring book bag and coat drives.
Blue Whale Collective’s commitment to
socially conscious redevelopment, further protects
the economic investment in the actual property.
Investment
Our Proven Models
Investing in a community means more than acquiring property for the Blue Whale Collective portfolio. BWC looks at the values in a community as interconnected systems. Each system plays a role in the well being, and resilience of a community.
83%+
Current Tenant Retention Rate
After a property has been acquired, repaired/renovated, and re-marketed to tenants, we consider the property seasoned. A seasoned property with BWC maintains an average of 83% retention rate.
Lack of tenant retention is the greatest hurdle to successful asset management. Our approach to Socially Conscious Redevelopment addresses that concern head on; therein benefiting both our investors and our tenants.
Investment
Our Proven Models
We target properties that have a need. Inefficient or tired management, significant deferred maintenance, or high vacancy rates are some of the characteristics that make for a promising target for a Blue Whale Collective acquisition. When we purchase these types of assets at discounted prices, we position ourselves to make both a profit for our investors, and a difference to the community.
