Bio
Mr. Robert Tamkin is the Founder and President of the RIO Company. Mr. Tamkin is a real estate investment professional that brings strategic planning, financial experience and leadership to the management team.
Mr. Tamkin formed the RIO Company in 1987 after recognizing that entrepreneurial management is the most effective way to optimize the profitability of a real estate asset. Mr. Tamkin was introduced to the real estate industry at an early age as a result of growing up in a family of apartment investors known as Moss & Company. Moss & Company is a leading Southern California management and investment company that currently owns or operates over 6,000 units in the Los Angeles area alone. Mr. Tamkin humbly started his career by sweeping car-ports and cleaning out vacant units at the age of 14. From there he worked as a property manager, bookkeeper, regional supervisor and finally apartment owner by the age of 26. Throughout Mr. Tamkin’s successful career in real estate, he has acquired approximately 3,000 apartment units in various partnerships and has ownership interests in other asset types such as a hotel, a few commercial office buildings and a storage facility. Though Mr. Tamkin has extensive experience in other real estate asset types, his primary focus has always been in apartments as it is the least volatile sector of the industry. It is Mr. Tamkin’s belief that this is due to the higher demand for residential rentals, as compared with commercial. Simply put, businesses come and go, but people always need a place to live.
Mr. Tamkin has 23 years of experience in real estate investment, ownership and management throughout Southern California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon and Nevada totaling acquisitions of approximately $600 million. The majority of RIO’s acquisitions have generated annual net returns in excess of 15% per year with many reaching returns in excess of 30% per year.
Mr. Tamkin was born and raised in Southern California where he currently resides with his beautiful wife of 25 years and three children.
