Founder of Vive Funds, Veena Jetti, has transacted over $1B in Class-B value-add multifamily across TX, FL, GA, NC, SC, and AZ. In this episode, she shares how she moved from single-family into syndications, why 506(b)/(c) changed her trajectory, and how to assess risk the right way—by “over-disclosing” in the PPM so only truly aligned investors come aboard. Veena breaks down a recent $52M, 168-unit Addison, TX acquisition with an assumed 2.59% fixed rate, explains why long tenant tenure and country-club adjacency matter, and makes the case that diversity at the decision-making level is an alpha driver, not a box-check. We also dive into her AI-everywhere stack (from underwriting to custom investor GPTs), strength-based hiring, and leadership through transparency. If you’re an LP, syndicator, or CRE pro looking to scale responsibly in a choppy market, this one’s for you.
