Hi there! I’m Akimi Oya, a local investor and commercial realtor Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area. I help investors identify the deals others miss, maximize returns, and build portfolios that perform. My personal rental portfolio includes small multifamily properties, single-family homes, and condos, all of which I self-manage. They are a mix of furnished mid-term and long-term rentals, giving me hands-on insight into what makes different property types succeed. Since 2022, I’ve closed over $40 million in transactions, leveraging my own investing experience to uncover opportunities others might overlook. I focus on value-add properties, cash flow optimization, and long-term growth, guiding investors to make smart, data-driven decisions. I’ve helped clients acquire everything from small condos to commercial buildings and large multifamily properties. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable partner who can help you find the right deals and grow your portfolio efficiently, let’s connect! I work directly with investors who are serious about results and want a strategic edge in the market. I’m always looking to create more connections: Email: [email protected] Cell: 319-519-0194

Pace Inc & Faselt brothers, have the Knowledge-Capability-Resources-Network to help turn your investment dreams into a passive cash-flowing machine Iowa native , we are proudly born and raised in the ICR (Iowa City Cedar Rapids) area. My brothers and I have been lucky enough to gain a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry over the years. My family owns and runs investment properties, but we also run a management company. The best part is that when you work with me, you get three for the price of one - my two brothers are always ready to jump in and help if I am unavailable. No charge extra. But that's not all! Pace also has a General Contracting company that can handle your project from start to finish, including fix-and-flips, BRRR and after-renovation appraisals. We even have a full maintenance team that can take care of any necessary repairs. We also can quote full roofing and siding job, Maybe you are looking for land development. We have that too. When I'm not busy building our real estate empire, I love to give back to the community. I sit on the board of the Greater Iowa City Area Apartment Association and I mentor elementary and college students at the University of Iowa, as well as international business guests. You can find me at any networking or business event So why am I on Bigger Pockets, you may ask? Simple: I want to focus my energy on real estate investing and multi-family properties. In fact, We have never sold a single-family home that wasn't an apartment. We also want to expand in real estate just like you and know we are limited by ourselves but we have a much greater opportunity to help others along their journeys even partnering where we can, We are in for Seriously if Pace represents you we could possibly forgo the buyers commission into your deal. I know the power of sweat equity. So if you're a sophisticated investor like I know you are, and made it through my cheesy bio, let's chat and see how we can take your investment goals to the next level!"

Questions investors in Iowa City ask

Local answers only. The general ones (what investor-friendly means, what it costs, how vetting works) are on the main finder page.

What do Iowa City agents specialize in?

The 3 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, mobile home parks, multi-family (2-4 units), multi-family (5+ units), new construction, office/retail, primary residence, self-storage, single-family rental, and townhouse/condo.

Do these agents cover Cedar Rapids, Coralville, and Kalona too?

Yes. Between them, the agents listed here also serve Cedar Rapids, Coralville, Kalona, Marion, North Liberty, Tiffin, Ely, Fairfax, Hiawatha, Mount Vernon, Palo, Robins, Solon, Toddville, Washington, West Branch, and West Liberty. If your search is really greater Iowa City rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Johnson County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
