Why Invest with Clara Investment Group
Institutional Quality Investments
At Clara, we bring you institutional-quality opportunities featuring established operators and larger projects typically out of reach for individual investors. We steer clear of inexperienced, mom-and-pop operators to ensure the highest standards.
Carefully Curated
We showcase only a select few investments, passing on over 99.9% of deals. We patiently wait for the right opportunities, partnering with top-tier operators. Our independence allows us to move across markets and asset classes, giving us the flexibility to cherry-pick deals with the best risk-adjusted returns.
Investing Along with You
We only consider opportunities we would personally invest in, committing our own capital to every deal. We also evaluate partners partly on their willingness to invest their own capital as well, ensuring alignment of interests and incentives through co-investment.
What Type of Assets Do We Target?
Our primary focus is on multifamily Class A and B properties located in highly desirable neighborhoods with robust population and job growth. We're also excited about opportunities in industrial real estate and the private credit markets. Our approach is flexible and opportunistic, allowing us to capitalize on current market conditions and asset values. The scope of asset classes we evaluate will likely increase over time.
What’s Our Investment Criteria?
Clara has rigorous underwriting standards. We use a four point framework (four Ps) for evaluating operators and deals. We look beyond IRR and examine the core operating team, underlying assumptions and quality of the strategy and plan for each deal.
