“SPI Advisory has acquired a 264-unit property outside Texas’ capital.”

SPI Advisory recently purchased The Bradford as it builds its portfolio in the Austin, Texas metro.

“In 2021 and early 2022, investors bid up value-add properties in Texas as people moved to the Lone Star State.

But interest rate increases have thrown cold water on the once-scorching market, denting property values and bringing sales to a screeching halt.
