RK Properties Overview

RK Properties is a Long Beach sponsor that has invested exclusively in multifamily since 1976 and pioneered the first tenant-in-common Regulation D offering in 1994—an authentic place in the origin story of securitized 1031 exchanges. With a current portfolio above $1 billion and a lifetime record of roughly $3 billion across 163 properties, 147 of which have reached full cycle, the firm pairs a near-half-century single-sector focus with conservative, low-leverage underwriting. Having served more than 7,000 investors over 48 years, RK markets consistency, specialization and a deep disposition record.
