Zak Rudzki is the owner and operator of Eretz Equity Partners, an entrepreneurial investment and management firm that specializes in the acquisition, takeover, and stabilization of value-add multifamily real estate assets. Eretz looks to provide naturally occurring affordable housing by elevating and maintaining existing housing stock. Eretz’s growing portfolio consists of hundreds of residential units across 50+ multi-family properties in IL & IN.

 

Prior to forming Eretz, Zak founded BLDG Property Management in 2018, as a vertically integrated third-party property management company and licensed general contractor. BLDG operates a full-time team of maintenance, construction, leasing and back-office staff across multiple locations and projects. Since its conception, BLDG has completed hundreds gut renovations of apartments across Illinois and Indiana.

 

In 2022 Zak began dissolving BLDG’s third-party business to focus exclusively on growth through direct and syndicated acquisitions. BLDG’s personnel continues to provide management and construction services as the sole service provider to Eretz’s portfolio.

 

Zak’s background and approach are anchored by two generations of experience in the Los Angeles multi-family market. Prior to forming Eretz & BLDG, Zak led global cybersecurity and tech innovation initiatives in support of the US Department of Homeland Security.

 

Outside of work Zak loves spending time with his wife, two kids and dog. He is a proud member of the Chicago Riot Rugby Club.

 

Zak holds a B.A. from the University of Arizona.
