Frequently Asked Questions
Who can invest?
Our offerings are primarily available to accredited investors, and in some cases qualified sophisticated investors, depending on the structure. We work best with investors who value capital preservation, disciplined underwriting, and long-term growth over speculation.
What types of returns can investors expect?
Returns vary by deal, but our approach is consistent: protect downside first, then pursue upside through execution.
Most opportunities are structured to deliver a blend of:
- Cash flow potential
- Equity growth through value-add improvements
- Risk-managed exit assumptions
We don’t rely on aggressive projections — we build deals to perform under realistic conditions.
How do you select operators and deals?
We only partner with experienced operators who have proven they can execute across market cycles. Every opportunity must pass our internal review for:
- Conservative underwriting
- Strong operations + repeatable playbook
- Alignment of incentives
- Clear reporting and investor transparency
- Risk controls (leverage, reserves, realistic exit strategy)
If it doesn’t protect capital, we don’t move forward.
