Thriving in Real Estate Investments

Based in Southern California, Matt Skinner is known for his impact-driven real estate strategies. Determining apartment building values, raising capital to purchase real estate, and quickly flipping properties are among the proven strategies of Thrive Capital, where Matt Skinner serves as the manager.

Mr. Skinner identifies emerging markets by a winning combination of employment growth and population growth. Thrive Capital enters these markets shortly before they see a rise in demand and exits immediately before they reach the growth plateau.

Thrive Capital also has developed a unique “direct to seller” marketing strategy that seeks apartment owners with serious financial challenges. These owners are primed to make expeditious sales. The results are assets priced well below market value.

A third strategy is finding ways to increase the value of a property, whether through renovations, new amenities, or new management. With these investment fundamentals in place, making a sustained profit becomes a matter of “when" rather than “if.”
