Investment Strategy

At Realife, we believe that a successful business requires a local presence and continuous engagement. Our investments are made in areas where we have deep familiarity and extensive market knowledge, enabling us to identify opportunities others overlook.

Off-Market Focus

We find what others don’t.

We specialize in sourcing and acquiring off-market properties, providing investors with a clear competitive advantage by securing assets at attractive valuations before they reach public listing platforms. This off-market focus allows us to unlock unique opportunities, drive higher yields, and align risk-adjusted returns with investor goals.

We find what others don’t.

We specialize in identifying and acquiring properties that are not widely marketed. This gives us a competitive edge, allowing us to negotiate directly with sellers and secure assets below market value – before they reach public listing platforms.

Flex & Small Bay Advantage

Diversified tenants. Stable income.

Why Flex and Small Bay?
While the leasing velocity of modern bulk assets has slowed, small-bay and flex properties are thriving.
The clearest differentiation is building depth. Modern bulk assets are often too deep to economically demise for tenants under 50,000 SF, and not functional below 30,000 SF. This makes smaller-bay industrial assets a far more compelling investment opportunity, offering:

  • Diversified tenant rosters
  • “Granular” rent rolls
  • Minimal turnover risk

Many sellers are long-term private owners who may be under-managing their properties and leasing space below market rates—creating significant value-add potential.

Nimble assets. Stable tenants.

Our investments often focus on flexible and small bay industrial spaces – a fast-growing segment driven by e-commerce, light manufacturing, and last-mile delivery. These properties offer high occupancy rates and long-term tenant demand.

Middle Market Sweet Spot

Buy smart. Drive higher yields.

Realife has a strong conviction in uncovering hidden value in middle markets, focusing on deals ranging from $10M–$50M in secondary markets across the Midwest and Southeast.

In this space, there is less competition and less arbitrage, enabling us to identify off-market or poorly marketed deals, take advantage of broken sales processes, and create outsized risk-adjusted returns for our investors.

$10–50M Deal Range. Less Competition.

We target middle-market properties that are often overlooked by large institutional investors. These assets provide a unique balance of scale, stability, and upside potential – ideal for long-term performance with manageable risk.
