NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 30, 2026 – Rifmont Group is preparing for a potential $10 million push into multifamily and commercial real estate, with founder Jagroop Bhumber targeting a part of the market many investors deliberately avoid: complicated assets.
The strategy follows Bhumber’s involvement in a rapid series of U.S. office projects spanning San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Columbus, San Jose and New York, where permitting, inspections, infrastructure coordination and compressed construction schedules were often part of the assignment.
As previously reported by BizWeekly, Bhumber coordinated multiple offices across several states, overseeing municipal communication, permitting, inspections, infrastructure scheduling and onsite execution. One San Francisco facility, approximately 11,800 square feet, was completed in roughly six weeks despite phased demolition, overnight work and inspection requirements.
His experience across complex project environments and government-related contracting has also been documented in previous business coverage, including CEO Times.
The connection to Rifmont’s real estate strategy is relatively straightforward.
Bhumber isn’t necessarily looking for perfect assets. The focus is on properties where the underlying real estate may remain attractive, but something around it has stopped working efficiently, whether management, capital structure, procurement, development or operations.
“Sometimes the asset isn’t broken. The structure around it is.”

That approach puts complexity at the center of the investment thesis rather than treating it solely as a risk.
Straightforward assets tend to attract more capital and more competition. Complicated situations can narrow the field, but they also require considerably more judgment and execution.
For Rifmont, that distinction matters.
The firm’s strategy is to identify situations where complexity is solvable rather than structural, then determine whether resolving those problems can unlock value that isn’t immediately reflected in the asset.
It is an approach Bhumber traces back to construction.
Permits had to clear. Inspections had to align. Infrastructure had to arrive. Contractors and building management had to operate against the same deadline. When one component moved, several others could move with it.
“Every inspection, every permit approval, every infrastructure delivery and every operational deadline had to align precisely.”
The proposed $10 million expansion will test whether that operating experience translates to investing.
Not every complicated property will qualify. Some assets are underperforming because their economics simply don’t work. Rifmont’s challenge will be determining which problems can actually be fixed, and what solving them is worth.
For Bhumber, the thesis remains simple:
Difficulty doesn’t necessarily destroy value. Sometimes it hides it.
