As an emerging private equity company, we offer private investment opportunities to accredited investors in joint ventures. We also facilitate leasing and purchase and sales of real property through our subsidiary real estate brokerage.
Optimizing the performance of an asset is all we do. Let us handle it.
We take care of day-to-day operations from rent collection, posting notices, city inspections, hearing appearances (pro se), local ordinance compliance, repair and maintenance, accounting, and marketing and leasing.
In-house diligence for certain aspects of screening target properties allows us to allocate more capital toward priority line items.
Private offerings are open to accredited investors through a closed-end fund. This process cuts out delays generally associated with alternative investments vehicles.

Learn MoreThe emergence of new laws and regulations in response to Covid-19 has made simple property management an esoteric and complex practice area with constantly shifting and heavily regulated State, Local, and Federal ordinances and mandates which require a higher level oversight and continuing education. We monitor the shifting regulatory landscape to ensure that legislative and political risk is factored into our operations and remain prepared to adjust our procedures as changes arise.
Investors know that Rental and Other income, repair and maintenance expenses, operating expenses, capital improvements, depreciation, proper appraised values, and good book keeping are paramount to optimizing a property's year end performance -- especially when it comes to tax liability. Ensuring these are done correctly, with a focus on a specialized geographic location gives us the advantage of knowing the local landscape and how to optimize deductions and preferential tax treatment.
Occupancy is the one of the most important factors in real estate investment. Using the latest technologies in marketing such as the employment of drones to capture aerial footage, the production of professional quality video, and the utilization of 3D cameras to create virtual walk-through tours, we practice the most efficient marketing techniques to ensure a higher ratio of interested and qualified prospect outreach, further allowing for owner-end selectivity during the application selection process.
