Since the recovery, Trion has shifted strategies to the acquisition of value-add properties where value can be created through extensive renovations, hands-on management, and improvement of operating efficiencies. Max's ability to identify then acquire distressed multifamily properties and his expertise in the marketplace have been instrumental in the success of Trion Properties.
