2021 Year in Review
I’ve always enjoyed the end of the year, the holidays, and now more than ever, spending time with my young children. Seeing their eyes light up as they experience Christmas provides such a fitting opportunity to reflect, specifically on MLG Capital and our Asset Management team (go team!). I’m hopeful that my recap and insights are more entertaining than my 2021 Spotify Recap Playlist. Who would have thought my top songs of the year would consist of the majority of the Frozen 2 soundtrack? Portfolio Growth: This year, we added 40 new assets to the MLG portfolio, totaling nearly 7,000,000 sf of commercial assets which includes over 6,600 new multi-family apartment units. Based on purchase price, this represents over $1 billion in purchase price of property added to MLG’s assets under management. Part of reaching this new milestone is due to introducing a new fund structure to our offerings, the Legacy Fund. This fund was specifically designed for owners of appreciated real estate seeking the answer to their two largest questions: “What exit strategy do I use?” and “What are my tax implications?” My colleague, Tom Pugh, has a couple of points to make on why it’s a superior exit strategy for appreciated assets....

Focused on Finding the Right Deals
Private Real Estate is a fast-paced, ever-evolving market. Often, investors are curious to learn more about our acquisition process and how our team can find opportunities in the competitive market that we operate in today. Our answer is straight forward: we’re actively involved in our target markets, we leverage technology where we can, and we build strong relationships. Market Knowledge Finding the right investments takes persistence and patience. Competing with 20+ groups on a fully marketed opportunity often is the norm in today’s investment world. This elevated competition requires us to be an active and connected acquisition team. We “knock on all the doors,” “make all of the calls,” and remain diligent to find the best investments for our investors. Being a very active group gives us the flexibility to be selective of property and provides us top-tier insights into market, submarket, and deal-level knowledge. It also often affords us off-market investment opportunities, that is, deals that other groups may not get a chance to look at. At MLG Capital, we actively underwrite and pursue over 2,000 investment opportunities per year, on average; however, we only acquire 15-20 properties across the multifamily, industrial, office, and retail sectors. How? We implement...

2020: Year in Review
We’re not sure anyone could have predicted the events and happenings of 2020. But, we’re very glad that throughout the craziness, you’ve decided to start, or continue to invest with us. We hope you had a safe holiday that provided great memories. For MLG Capital, consistency remains the name of the game. Hard work and an unparalleled team allowed us to source the right opportunities to further seek the returns you’ve come to expect, even in an unpredictable market. So, let’s run the numbers on 2020: Throughout 2020, we’re honored to have been recognized with these awards: Milwaukee Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” This is a repeat of 2019’s award. Second year in a row, of hopefully many more! Milwaukee Business Journal’s “Fastest Growing Firms” Experiencing growth of nearly 130% since 2017 Added several new employees in 2020 New Fund now available! Lastly, our investors have been asking when we will officially be opening, for investment, our newest fund. Happily, I can say that MLG Private Fund V is available for subscription! Thank you for being part of our family and making 2020 a success. Alex Colburn is a Digital Marketing Manager, focused on developing the MLG Capital brand and sharing the awesome stories we have. He’s an amateur saucier...
