Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)

Consider this...real estate is a vital component of a truly diversified portfolio. An asset allocation model that features commercial real estate may improve overall portfolio performance, stabilize a portfolio's annual returns and reduce volatility.

Since 1984, Hartman has been maximizing investor value by acquiring, leasing and managing quality commercial real estate properties that deliver strong overall yields. Known as the "Texas REIT", over the past two decades we have formed 19 limited partnerships, acquired more than 100 properties, and leased, managed and operated more than 6,000,000 square feet of commercial real estate in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas.

Why Commercial Real Estate through a
Non-Traded REIT

Rather than directly purchasing income-producing commercial properties such as industrial warehouses, office buildings, retail shopping centers or apartment buildings, many investors have turned to professionally managed real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate mutual funds and other investment products.

Investors seeking safe, stable returns might look at non-raded REITS. Non-traded REITs may offer attractive dividends without the volatility of the stock market. Some of the benefits associated with non-traded RIETs are:

Preservation and protection of capital contributions
Regular income from dividends paid
Capital appreciation from underlying assets
Professional management from experienced sponsors
Tax benefits from real estate ownership

Investment Philosophy

Hartman has developed a value added approach to building a real estate portfolio. Unlike other real estate syndications that buy 100% leased properties for top dollar (reducing the ability to generate larger returns), we look for properties that are 50%-70% leased, enabling us to negotiate a more favorable acquisition price. In order to reduce risk, we use low leverage within the portfolio.

Our partnerships have less than 50% debt. Occupancy could go down to 50% or perhaps even lower levels, and the portfolios could still generate positive cash flow. Our front-end fees are among the lowest in the industry and this allows more of our investors' dollars to be utilized for acquisition and management of properties.

Hartman Portfolio

We believe that diversification is key to providing a strong return. This is why we focus on both commercial office and retail space within our portfolio. Office and retail space have taken turns outperforming each other over time. A blended approach offers the opportunity to take advantage of whichever style is in favor.
