What NALS Apartment Homes does

NALS Apartment Homes, founded by Henry Nevins in 1984 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, is a fully-integrated multifamily real estate investment and operating company that acquires, owns, manages, and rehabilitates Class A apartment communities. The firm owns and self-manages 15,000+ apartment homes across 48+ communities in 15 markets spanning Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington, housing 30,000+ residents with a workforce of approximately 480 property management professionals organized into regional vice president and regional manager overlays by geography.

The company's underlying technology is the RentCafe platform from Yardi Systems, which powers the resident portal for online leasing applications, rent payment, service requests, and community communications, with no proprietary technology layer disclosed. Operational technology is conventional for the sector: standardized regional management, a central property accounting function, a Revenue Manager role, and an in-house IT Manager, with marketing handled through the corporate website, per-property microsites, and an active company blog.

NALS operates two revenue streams: (1) recurring monthly residential rental income from owned apartment homes, with unit-level pricing that ranges from approximately $924 for a studio to $5,110 for premium three-bedroom configurations, billed monthly; and (2) investor partnership economics, having offered limited partnership investments in multifamily properties since 1990 across 100+ partnerships spanning 25+ years, with equity raised per-deal from individual investors without cross-collateralization. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for residents (property websites, on-site leasing offices, RentCafe self-service portal) and sales-led/relationship-based for investors (direct consultation with NALS principals and a dedicated Investor Relations function).

• Bridge Investment Group: Bridge Investment Group is a vertically integrated real estate investment manager with a substantial multifamily value-add platform. Comparable to NALS' model of acquiring, repositioning, and operating Class B/A multifamily for individual and institutional investors.
