Understanding The Current Cycle
With multiple cycles under our belt, we use that familiarity to gauge probable returns on our investments. Understanding this allows us to be educated in our decisions on whether it is time to be aggressive or sit on the side lines.
Determining The Most Efficient Ways To Add Value
By creating tailored strategizes for each of our investments, we maximize the value-add process. Depending on the condition, laws, location, and other factors, the value-add process is ever changing.
Rabbie Banafsheha is the Founder and Managing Principal overseeing the Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Portfolio Management of BLRS Equities.
Experience
Rabbie has 21 years of Real Estate Investments Experience, personally involved in the acquisition and disposition of over 165 Residential, Multifamily & Retail assets. Rabbie understands that sourcing a deal is extremely crucial as he makes himself available all hours of day to meet with brokers and sellers on a one-to-one basis. From walking and inspecting over 950 buildings in his career, Rabbie has a deep understanding and knowledge of an asset that cannot easily be seen on an Excel Spreadsheet.
For the past two decades as an investor, Rabbie has attributed his success to his ability to understand and communicate with brokers and sellers needs and goals. In each deal, he takes a genuine interest in getting to know the “reason” for the sale, and from there, structures the deal accordingly to meet everyone’s liking. Rabbie believes that the commercial real estate industry requires a strong work ethic and unique dedication that can only be learned through starting at the bottom.

Graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science.
Languages
Fluent in English, Farsi, Hebrew and Spanish.
