Howard Wang is a versatile sponsor in the apartment sector, bringing multi-years of leadership experience in acquiring, financing, and managing apartment properties. His expertise in valuation and project management has been instrumental in creating long-term value for investors.

Since 2016, Howard has built a portfolio of value-add apartments across key markets including Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta, totaling 1,090 units.

Driven by a passion for investment, Howard pursued and passed the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Level II exam, deepening his knowledge of economic analysis, investment strategies, and risk management. His commitment to continuous learning led him to Rice University, where he earned an MBA with a focus on real estate and business strategy. Additionally, his experience as a valuation consultant for institutional portfolios further refined his underwriting and market research skills in commercial real estate transactions.
