Our Core Competencies
Find & Verify
To identify high quality properties with significant upside and a very favorable risk to reward ratio that meets our very strict standards, we employ our proprietary research-focused process for uncovering the best metros, sub-markets, neighborhoods and target properties.
Acquire & Stabilize
After uncovering an investment property that meets our stringent criteria, our Asset Managers and Principals spring into action and work hand in hand with our property team to acquire the asset. After purchase, if the property is a turnaround property team members work relentlessly to stabilize the property.
Add Value and Improve
With effective management and enhancement of the property we are able to improve occupancy rates and increase rent rates, resulting in increased property values and higher cash flow for happy investors.
3-5 Year Exit
We strive to divest the property and return capital and profits to investors in a 3-5 year time period. We take pride in communicating frequently with our investors, and provide updates on progress toward reaching the stated exit price for the property.
Would you like to invest with us?
How We Select Properties
Rent Growth Track Record
We ensure that the property’s submarket has a strong 12 month rent growth track record
Untapped Potential
Problem areas such as low performing staff, ineffective marketing, and poor curb appeal can be fixed quickly.
Local Growth Drivers
We love properties in areas experiencing local job growth drivers such as increasing corporate relocations or landmark construction
Upside Potential
Only a small percentage of properties we underwrite meet our strict buying criteria. A property must have massive value add potential for us to move forward with an offer.
How We Work With Investors
Individual (Retail) Investors
Our investors can invest as little as $50,000 in most of our syndicated projects, and can typically be accredited or non-accredited. We work closely with our investors to understand their investment needs and the suitability of our syndicated investment projects to help them meet their goals.
Institutional Investors And Funds
We are able to offer institutional investors preferred equity in most of our projects, and work closely to match up institutional investors with appropriate opportunities.
Family Offices
We encourage Family Office principals to diversify and consider value-add real estate in properties that have upside and long-term appreciation potential.
High net worth individuals
After countless discussions with high net worth individuals we understand their investing philosophy and needs. The in-depth individualized process we have created is able to help them find, purchase, and manage properties that meet their specific risk, cash flow, and time needs.

Neal Bawa – From Tech Exit to $150M Portfolio
Neal,
Just heard your podcast w/ Rod Khleif. Just wanted to reach out and tell you that I loved the podcast. I used to run a currency focused investment fund and as soon as I heard you say “backtesting” my ears perked up. That’s all we used to do is backtest trading algorithms. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and that it was a very cool podcast.
Thanks,
Mike Pugliese
Hi Neal,
I just listened to you on Rod Khleif’s podcast. I really loved how you have metrics for everything, I’m a numbers geek myself and your criteria really resonated with me.
