Oak Real Estate Investment provides an excellent service, be it on a business or on a personal level. I have found Albert’s advice regarding Real Estate investment opportunities particularly insightful – he does a great job making sure everything is explained fully, no matter how complex the subject, and is always available whenever we have new questions. I am also appreciative of the risk based approach Albert takes to make sure the return projection provided are realistic and have safety margin built in. I truly believe Oak Real Estate investment has a great future ahead.

Albert is very knowledgeable about multifamily investment. He applies years of risk management skills to evaluate properties and ensure that the investment has good returns even under adverse scenarios. I feel very confident in my investment, because I know Albert is applying the same level (if not more) of scrutiny that I would have applied myself.
He is very proactive at keeping me in the loop, very responsive to any questions or concerns I had along the way. I will highly recommend Albert to anyone who is interested in investing in Multifamily in the United States.

Albert is very professional in his work. Among the many attractive opportunities in the real estate market , he always uses his actuarial aptitude to carefully select the most appropriate one that fits the optimal risk-return profile for his clients. He is extremely patient and takes the time to explain his projects to me yet encourages me to ask questions and make my own decisions. He updates all the investors regularly and is very responsive to requests. As a investor, I always feel my investment is being well taken care of. In addition to that, he and his team provide detailed how to instructions and great resources to help during the tax season. Despite all the exceptional investment services, Albert himself is a very dedicated learner and loves sharing his knowledge and investment experience with people. I enjoyed reading every single of his investment articles! I would recommend Albert to friends at any opportunity. I personally look forward to working with him for many more years.

As a person who works in the financial services industry very closely with investments, I understand how hard it is to find good investment opportunities with the right risk profile in the current global economic environment, and even harder to find a general partner who can manage the investment to the high standard that the investors can expect. Data has proven the potential of the multifamily business model in the years to come, and Albert has proven himself as a trustworthy and accountable project manager. His unselfish sharing of his knowledge shows his high quality work ethic and dedication to his investors. Albert is always happy to answer every single question I had to my satisfaction and made sure to listen to my risk based concerns and ensure that they are addressed completely. The relationship with Albert feels more than an investor and a manager one, Albert goes that extra mile that makes an investor like me comfortable and trust in putting my money with him into the multifamily business.

If you want your leverage to stay high while your equity accumulates, multifamily investment is the BEST vehicle. And honestly, in a time with such high inflation like today, the more you borrow the more you make. Multifamily and commercial real estate is a much more "closed" market than residential market, and Albert and his team have keys to the Texas multifamily market. I have invested with him on one of his earliest project and within 1 year, the return is a whopping 100% if not more. Albert has demonstrated his professionalism in being a problem solver and risk manager every step of the way. I am truely happy with his work and I will continue to put my trust in him.

Being a real estate investor for years, I have analyzed numerous single-family and multifamily investment opportunities in Canada. After I invested in several duplex and triplex, it became pretty time-consuming to manage and complicated when applying for the new mortgages. After an insightful discussion with Albert, my previous colleague in Sun Life, I aligned my investment strategy. Two years ago, Albert told me that he resigned his director job and started his own real estate investment business as an entrepreneur. With trust and confidence in Albert’s capability, professional experiences and extensive knowledge, I invested in two of his projects. The investment is generating a great return, and he can be reached at any time when I have questions. His monthly investment report allows me to understand my investment, and the KPIs further provide me the investment status. From my perspective, I trust Albert and will continue to invest with him for future projects.

When we first learnt about multifamily real estate investment, we were hesitant with the unfamiliar structure and real estate market across the border. Albert provided us with detailed walkthroughs on both the projects and multifamily real estate in general, from an analytical perspective. He has also been very responsive with our questions and proactive in anticipating his investors’ needs, both before and after the financing. Under the current low interest rate environment, we felt that the multifamily investment is a good alternative that could generate a stable and decent return.

The investment experience with Oak Real Estate Investment has been the best and least stressful we had so far with great returns. Albert is very knowledgeable and patient with any questions. The investment information has been well communicated to the investors on regular basis. We had minimal knowledge about multi family investment and Albert has done a great job educating us. His diligence and attention to details have brought us a lot of confidence to the team and the projects. We feel completely confident in recommending Oak Real Estate Investment to any interested individuals.

I look forward to continue to partner with Albert in the near future.

Albert has been a trustworthy friend for many years, and his substantial real estate investment experience in the past has also inspired me. When he brought up the idea of multi-family investment, I was impressed again by his extensive knowledge and insightful analysis, and immediately became his client.
As it turns out, Albert is not only a profound thinker, but also a strong executor, who made my first multi-family investment experience so smooth and easy. On top of the perfect track records, he is always accessible to answer my questions, communicates the investment status in a timely and effectively manner, and even go above and beyond to provide guidance on other related subjects. I feel confident about investing with Albert and would highly recommend his portfolios.

我们从Alber做第一个投资项目就开始合作。他考察项目非常专业精细,项目拿到后的装修升级和物业管理也很细致。项目都是升值空间很好的区域,入住率也很高。我们很信任Albert!

Albert is truly professional and has great insights into Multifamily investment - from better financing options to access to strong portfolios, from systematic strategies to top-notch property management.

投资是房产投资中相对安全,注重价值的投资。正现金流加上银行杠杆,做到了对一种相对安全收益四到五倍的放大。只要长期通胀的大环境不变,本地人口和就业稳步上升,这就确立了这类投资的可行性。接下来就是"行"的部分了。Multi-family 的投资周期长,投资金额大,所以这个"行"十分重要。Multi-family 投资最终投的其实是团队。Albert的团队做事认真,执行力强,与投资人共进退,是一个值得信赖的团队。

I m a real estate investor. And also looking to acquiring my own multifamily. I got to know Albert and his projects in early 2020. I found the way he underwrites the deals is very professional and conservative. It’s a great opportunity for passive investment. I’ve been receiving quarterly distribution as promised and on time. And also receiving monthly email from Albert showing the update income and expenses. The communication is smooth and transparent. I'd love to invest more or partnering with Albert.

I am delighted to recommend Mr. Albert Shi and his company as your choice of partner in investments of multifamily real estate properties. I have known Mr. Albert Shi since 2020 through his wife, Ms. Dian (Daisy) Wan, who has been a college friend of mine since 2011. Up to today, I have invested as a Limited Partner (LP) with Albert as one of the General Partner (GP) in two multifamily properties in Texas. I have been receiving cash distribute quarterly steadily at a rate slightly higher than the one stated in the initial offering for both investments. And I have confidence that the total return will meet or be higher than the projected goal. Below I would like to share my own experience working with Albert and the reasons, other than friendship and my feelings that Albert and Daisy are great persons, why I decided to invest with Albert. I hope this testimonial can serve as a helpful reference for you if you are considering investing in multifamily properties with Albert.
1. Accurate and Understandable Educational Information. Before I decided to invest, I first need to understand what I am investing in and how it works. Although I have been investing in securities and single-family houses/town houses/condos in the U.S. and China, multifamily apartment is not a familiar concept. However, I was able to make decisions thanks to the articles, blogs, webinars Albert diligently wrote and hold about how the investments in multifamily properties work. I can tell that the information and material Albert provides are the things he would like to learn and know himself. He is not hiding any secrets. Albert was able to make those articles readable without any jargon and yet accurate. I never have the feeling that “I probably need a degree in investments to understand the logic behind multifamily investment.” With a clear idea of how the project works, I can comfortably make my decisions and invest my savings.
2. Responsibility and Diligence. Albert is now working full-time as the CEO of Oak Real Estate Investment company he founded, focusing on investment in multifamily properties. Albert quit his previous descent job in order to be fully dedicated to his current career in which he has strong faith and great passion. He spent all his expertise and energies ensuring that he acquires good properties and manages properties well so the projected return can be gained. He compiles and sends out transparent financial updates of each property monthly. And if there is anything he feels you would like to know as a LP he would contact you pro-actively without being asked for. For example, in the winter of 2020, the plumbing system of the apartment property I invested in was impacted by the history-low temperature in Texas. He contacted me and let me know what the situation was and what measures he and his team took to prevent the situation from adversely affecting the net income of the property. So far, I never need to worry about anything regarding property management.
3. Self-discipline and Tact in Real Estate Investment. Albert is a self-disciplined person (as well as his wife) and always strictly sticks to a set of principles that he decided to stick to based on his past experience. You can easily find out the set of principles on his website or any of his social network profiles. What he believes in and sticks to demonstrate that he is person of integrity. Not only that he has the willing to do things right, but he also has the competence to do things right looking at his track record.
For all these reasons, I unreservedly give Albert my highest recommendation.

I initially watched the video that Albert sharing his real estate investment experience online. It was the first time I heard about the Multi-family investment and I was very interested in it. After that, I began to look up information and learn to understand this type of investment. During this period, I also got in touch with Albert and joined the investment discussion community organized by him. At same time, it is the stage of preparation for financing of the McCallum project. After reading up the project presentation, several rounds of phone consultation with Albert, and discussions with my family, I decided to participate with the mentality of giving it a try. So far, the entire investment experience is very good. Every month, we will receive updates from Albert on the operating status of the project and the status of the NOI specifically. From this, I can see the efforts and effectiveness of the entire GP team to improve NOI. Even during the COVID-19 epidemic
, dividends to investors have reached expectations. As an investor in Canada who invested in the United States for the first time, I also got a lot of help from Albert during the tax season. With the successful experience of the McCullum project, after learning about the Westchase project at the early of this year, I chose to join with no hesitation. Albert and his team's strong local network and bargaining power ensured that the transformation after the handover of the project can proceed as expected. Coupled with its detailed, pragmatic and conservative project evaluation, it has built a deep moat for investors. When the economy is up, it can bring investors more than expected returns, and it can also have good returns when the economy is down. I am very happy and proud to invest and grow together with Albert and his team.
