What Multifamily Empire does

Multifamily Empire is a privately held, Dallas-Fort Worth-based real estate investment and operating firm that acquires, renovates, and manages value-add multifamily apartment properties in landlord-friendly Texas submarkets. Founded in 2019 by Neander Lima (CEO) and Delia Kong Lima (COO), the firm structures acquisitions as syndicated limited-partnership deals with passive accredited investors, and reports a current portfolio of 5+ properties totaling 1,900+ units and approximately $191M of asset value (assets under management-equivalent), including Enclave on Pioneer (Balch Springs, 147 units), Miramar (Fort Worth, 68 units), Estrella at Broadmoor (Fort Worth, 96 units), Ariva (Fort Worth, 176 units), and Luna Vista (Fort Worth, 236 units). The Enclave on Pioneer asset was acquired for $15M in 2021 and revalued to $19M following value-add improvements.

The firm operates under the umbrella brand Empire Group, which bundles Multifamily Empire (syndication sponsor and asset manager) with a set of vertically integrated operating subsidiaries: Multifamily Empire Construction (MEC), the in-house renovation arm using a proprietary Virtual Renovation Portal with video guides and online assessments; Green Empire Landscaping, a commercial landscaping unit that now sells services externally as the first non-internal subsidiary; Tower Multifamily, a property management subsidiary launched in February 2024; Empire Living Solutions for materials supply; and Empire Nation, a community charity initiative launched in 2022. Business model revenue derives from limited-partnership syndications (transaction/acquisition and disposition fees), asset management fees on owned properties, and ancillary external services, while operating costs are partially internalized through MEC and Green Empire to compress renovation cycle times and per-unit CapEx. Investor acquisition is event- and community-led through the Real Grind podcast (launched January 2023), the Apartment Investor Insider Crash Course (51-lesson online program launched March 2023), recurring Market Pulse Masterclass events, and the Jazz N' Apartments networking series (9+ editions since 2022), supported by a dedicated investor portal at multifamilyempire.invportal.com.

All activity is concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, sourced through an exclusive buyer-broker relationship with Touro Co. (Dante Andrade) and a 5-year operational partnership with EnergyServ Solutions (Lance McGee) for energy cost optimization. The founder-led team is the named counterparty for every deal, with the COO overseeing underwriting, finance, and operations across the 1,900+ unit base and the CEO leading subsidiary strategy; Billy Kirk (13+ years regional PM experience) leads Tower Multifamily and Fernando Gasque (11 years landscaping) leads Green Empire. Contact-based syndication pricing through the investor portal and Calendly-scheduled calls is the disclosed investor-onboarding mechanism, with no public minimums, tiers, or fee schedules.
