The company also has experience in using budgets to reposition and develop apartments on a small and large scale. Shelter Asset Management engages in different real estate investments, including Single Purpose Investment Vehicles, Joint Ventures, Managed Accounts, and private REITs. Single-purpose investment vehicles and joint ventures are appropriate mechanisms for investors to pull funds together to invest in a portfolio and maximize profit while reducing risk. Moreover, the company also manages portfolios and investment accounts using its managed accounts feature. This feature gives the investor the freedom to invest and the expertise of investment consultants to make a profit.

The company also provides insight through its consultants on investments with an optimal capital structure, showing a high level of equity and a low level of debt. To achieve success as an investor, it is important that one selects real estate with great care. Shelter Asset Management, while investing in real estate, focuses on rental yields, affordability, capital appreciation, and value-added strategies with proven efficacy in the industry. Rental yield refers to the difference between acquiring the property and the profit derived from rent. However, before a property is purchased, it must be affordable while having the potential to produce substantial capital appreciation, which is the difference between an investment's cost price and selling price. These concepts are value-added strategies through which investors try to boost profit by collecting unnoticed property in developing areas and investing in them early. Value-added investments are active real estate investments that are likely to produce higher returns than core investments that require little to no analysis or maintenance, such as simply leasing out a building. The process of acquiring real estate investments by Shelter Asset Management generally begins with a market analysis of the property. The company makes competitive offers after analyzing a property's value estimate. The research includes the age, size, architecture, location of the building, and whether it is in good condition. Next, the company underwrites the building; Shelter Asset Management considers the property's value and assesses risk to ensure the property is worth the investment.
