Reap Capital

We're excited to announce that Reap Capital has closed on The Creekside at Vantage, a milestone that brings our portfolio to 2,304 units.

Over 2,000 of those units are in Dallas, which is by design. We believe in this market, we live in this market, and we're committed to providing quality housing for the people who call it home. Dallas continues to offer the fundamentals we look for: strong population growth, a diverse job market, and long-term demand for quality workforce housing.

This deal wouldn't have happened without the trust of our investors, the hard work of our team, and the partners who helped us get it across the finish line.

Now the real work begins!

2026 could be the year real estate transitions from repricing and volatility into a more stable, opportunity rich environment.

According to the latest Hines Global Investment Outlook, we are seeing signs of stabilization after a prolonged cycle of market adjustments, with pockets of high conviction emerging across Living, Industrial, Retail, and select Alternative sectors.

At Reap Capital, this reinforces our disciplined approach to valuation and underwriting. We remain focused on fundamentals that matter most, including supply constraints, durable demand drivers, and assets positioned for long term performance.

Bottom line: the runway is becoming clearer, but success will favor investors with patience, strategy, and conviction.

Will 2026 be a groundhog year or are we officially starting the next cycle?

Incredible tailwinds for multifamily investments this year-

-Strong GDP Growth – Commerce forecasts suggest 5–6% growth, signaling robust job creation and income gains.
-$200b in purchases of mortgage bond which will drive rates lower, freeing up more cash for consumers.
-Fraud Crackdowns – Federal initiatives could save taxpayers hundreds of billions, freeing up income
-Healthcare Price Transparency – Lower medical costs mean more disposable income for renters.
-Reshoring & Manufacturing Boom – Thousands of new jobs near industrial hubs will drive rental demand in those markets.
-Tariffs & Trade Balancing – While tariffs may raise construction costs (limiting new supply), they also stabilize trade and economic confidence.

Bottom line: Multifamily demand looks strong, but supply constraints from higher construction costs could create opportunities for existing assets.

What macro trend do you think will have the biggest impact on housing this year?

Class A apartments appear to be breaking out of the supply glut of years past, posting 1.4% rent growth in October 2025. Meanwhile, lower-tier assets saw occupancy slightly higher but rents declining:

• Class A: $2,370/month (+1.4%) | Occupancy 94.6%
• Class B: $1,818/month (-0.6%) | Occupancy 95%
• Class C: $1,521/month (-3.2%) | Occupancy 95%

The $560 spread between Class A and B highlights both strong luxury demand and affordability constraints in lower-tier segments. Even with softer overall fundamentals, premium apartments are holding their value and continuing to attract tenants.

For investors, Class A remains a strong bet, demonstrating that demand for high-quality units persists even in broader market softness.

Remember the headlines about oversupply in 2024? That’s yesterday’s news.

Here’s what’s happening now:
• New multifamily starts in Texas are down 70% from peak levels.
• 2026–2027 will see a delivery desert.

When the 2024 wave is absorbed, pricing power and occupancy will roar back, and we expect that recovery to last for years.

Combine that with:
1. Falling interest rates
2. QE liquidity injection
3. Texas property tax relief
…and you have the perfect storm for value creation.

This is one of the most compelling entry points in recent history. The window is open, but not for long.
