Single Family
Homes
Sardona Development Group acquires at discounted price based on current market value, income producing Single Family Homes strategically located in neighborhoods within US suburban and underdeveloped communities, were there is a current shortage of supply in this type of homes. Most of the properties are renovated, insured, rented and managed by our in-house property manager.
Multifamily
Properties
We acquire income producing Multi Family Properties. Once acquired additional cash will then be invested to upgrade properties for further rental stabilization. An extensive repositioning plan will be prepared which calls for the improvement of community amenities, exterior enhancements and appropriate interior unit renovations. The proposed repositioning value-added plan is expected to improve the rents significantly. A higher-quality renter pool will likely be able to sustain greater increases in rent and will also likely take better care of the physical space they are renting.
