What
we do
Recurring income
build & lease
Enjoy a great recurring income for years to come. A great investment strategy is to hold well-located properties for lease income. There are several different types of properties, each one designed for a particular investment size, intended investment cycle and investment area. We pursue above-average returns by acquiring add-value properties at locations with landlord favorable legislation, great demographics, high-demand and good Cap-Rates. The average investment cycle is from 48 to 72 months.
Capital gains
build & sell
The best results come from opportunities that start from the ground up.
Our team of experts has a proven record of identifying unique opportunities in real estate development. By focusing on mid-sized projects, we navigate on the blue ocean, finding great opportunities that are small for the big developers and too big for the regular investor.
Our advanced data-mining techniques and extensive market research provides us intel to discover and secure the best locations in highly demanded neighborhoods and in up-trend markets, to build the most demanded product. From site acquisition to the product sale, we manage the whole process. The average cycle is from 24 to 36 months.
