What We Do
RobertBuffum Investments partners with experienced syndicators who have a successful track record of identifying underperforming apartment buildings, underwriting conservatively, purchasing, managing, improving, increasing value, and selling for a significant profit to double the passive investor’s investment.


Why Invest in Apartments
Building wealth through smart investments.
Our Mission
Our mission is to generate passive income and generational wealth for our investors buy focusing on these goals:
Buy a good property in a growing metro
Add value to the property
Refinance at the appropriate time to return the original principal back to investors
Hold long-term for cash-flow and appreciation (aka passive income and generational wealth)
Take your principal from the refinance and then rinse and repeat
That's how you build passive income streams and generational wealth...
And if you're holding long-term, it matters much less where in the economic cycle you purchase it.

Passive Investment in Apartments for Busy Executives
Stable and Predictable Income: Apartments, particularly in prime locations, offer a consistent and reliable stream of rental income. Executives can leverage their industry insights to identify promising apartment buildings, ensuring a stable income stream.
Portfolio Diversification: Diversification is crucial for effective financial management. Passive investment in apartments provides a diversification strategy independent of the volatility seen in traditional financial markets.
Hedge Against Inflation: Real assets, such as apartments, historically serve as effective hedges against inflation. Rental income typically adjusts with inflation, providing a natural buffer against rising prices.
Tax Benefits: Investing in apartments offers various tax advantages, including depreciation deductions, interest expense deductions, and potential capital gains benefits. Executives can optimize their tax strategies through passive investment in apartments.
Long-Term Appreciation: Apartments in well-situated locations tend to appreciate over time. Executives can benefit from long-term capital appreciation, realizing significant gains upon divestment of their investments.
