Moses Kagan, a prominent figure in the Los Angeles real estate sector, recently provided a comprehensive update on his diverse ventures, highlighting significant capital deployment through his co-founded platform, ReSeed. In a recent social media post, Kagan detailed his extensive experience in buying, renovating, and managing apartment buildings in LA since 2008, affirming his deep roots in the industry. This re-introduction underscored his evolution from a hands-on operator to a key influencer and capital provider for the next generation of real estate professionals.
Kagan's primary real estate firm, Adaptive Realty, currently owns approximately 400 apartment units in Los Angeles with partners and manages an additional 750 apartments for other long-term owners. This established operational base provides the foundation for his broader engagement in the real estate ecosystem. His long-term hold strategy, focusing on acquiring and stewarding assets in supply-constrained markets, differentiates his approach from traditional, short-term real estate private equity models.
A significant development is ReSeed, a platform co-founded by Kagan approximately 2.5 years ago, designed to capitalize and mentor emerging real estate operators. Through ReSeed, Kagan and his partners have already deployed roughly $80 million, with substantial "dry powder" available for future investments. The platform aims to accelerate the growth of talented individuals by providing capital and guidance, fostering businesses built on enduring, long-term investment principles.
Beyond direct investment, Kagan has cultivated a substantial online audience through his blog, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn, leveraging his insights to build a community. This engagement led to the creation of Reconvene, an "un-conference" for real estate operators, co-founded with his wife about five years ago. Reconvene focuses on fostering genuine relationships and in-depth discussions among industry peers, moving beyond traditional networking.
Kagan expressed a particular passion for multi-generational family wealth and assisting earlier-career real estate and finance professionals in exploring entrepreneurship. His initiatives, including ReSeed and Reconvene, are structured to provide the necessary mentorship, capital, and philosophical alignment to help new operators build sustainable and impactful real estate businesses, reflecting his commitment to the industry's future.
