Real Estate Acquisitions & Commercial Investments

Yosef (Joseph) Katz

I source, underwrite, and close multi-family and commercial real estate for Fernwood Realty Group. The work is quiet and relationship-driven: finding the deal before it lists, reading the numbers honestly, and holding assets that keep performing.

01About

A decade of sourcing deals other people miss.

My focus is the acquisition itself: where the value is, who is selling, and what a property is genuinely worth before anyone else has run the numbers. I built my career on multi-family deal sourcing - tracking owners, watching submarkets, and being the first call when something is about to trade.

At Fernwood Realty Group I lead acquisitions across multi-family and commercial assets, from off-market garden-apartment communities to stabilized commercial holdings. That means underwriting with discipline, structuring offers that close, and then managing the portfolio so each asset keeps earning long after the deal is signed.

I work best in the parts of the market that reward patience and relationships: repeat sellers, broker networks built over years, and the unglamorous diligence that separates a good buy from a bad one.

02Investment Focus

Three places I spend my time.

Multi-Family

Garden, mid-rise, and value-add communities. Sourcing units below replacement cost, repositioning operations, and holding for durable cash flow.

  • Value-add repositioning
  • Off-market unit sourcing
  • Operations & NOI growth

Commercial Acquisitions

Stabilized and opportunistic commercial assets. Disciplined underwriting, clean structures, and a focus on tenancy quality and downside protection.

  • Underwriting & diligence
  • Deal structuring
  • Portfolio management

Asset Sourcing

The first-call advantage. A broker and owner network built over years that surfaces opportunities before they ever reach the open market.

  • Off-market origination
  • Owner relationships
  • Submarket tracking
