Our Success Formula
Underwriting & Negotiating
Detailed underwriting determines the amount of negotiating that can be done with a seller on price and terms. Our experience allows us to properly analyze an asset and mitigate as much risk as possible for our investors.
Contract Review / Due Diligence
We have established the best legal and due diligence teams for our syndications. This allows us to simultaneously expedite two incredibly time-consuming tasks that most beginning investors struggle with.
Closing & Reassessment
There is more to closing than just signing on the dotted line and handing over the keys. There is an equal amount of critical work that needs to be completed soon after to ensure the success of a syndication.
Enacting Business Plan / CapEx
We identify and prioritize the necessary projects and execute them based on funding and critical need. Simultaneously, our expert CapEx team gets to work by coordinating with asset and property managers to assist in stabilizing the property.
Stabilization / Refinance
This process usually takes just over 2 years (depending on the market) and involves everything from completing CapEx, to ensuring organic fair market rent growth, to managing tenant turnover, all while working to decrease expenses.
Sale/Disposition
When it comes time to sell, we prepare the property to show as cost-effectively as possible. Once sold, we ensure that we properly close out business transactions and 3 months after the sale, we deliver all sales proceeds (return of capital) to our investors.

Diversification in Action: Why Investors Pair Multifamily with Self-Storage, RV, and Mobile Home Parks
When most people think about real estate investing, apartment buildings (multifamily) are usually the first thing that comes to mind — and for good reason. They’re stable, proven, and there’s always demand for housing.
But putting all your money into one type of investment can leave you exposed. Just like you wouldn’t balance on a one-legged stool, you don’t want your portfolio standing on just one “leg.” That’s where diversification comes in. By adding other types of real estate — like self-storage, RV parks, and mobile home communities — you create more balance, resilience, and profit potential in your portfolio.
Why Add These Asset Classes?
Savvy investors expand into niche asset classes to increase cash flow, reduce risk, and boost returns. One key advantage is that expense-to-income ratios vary by asset type, which affects profit margins. Here’s a closer look:
🏪 Self-Storage: More Profit per Dollar
Expenses typically run 35–40% of income, compared to 50–55% for multifamily. That means for every dollar collected, more stays in the investor’s pocket. Storage is also low-maintenance, and demand remains steady — people always need space, whether they’re moving, downsizing, or decluttering.
🚐 RV Parks: Cash Flow Meets Lifestyle
With flexible lifestyles on the rise, RV parks are seeing growing demand. Expenses are generally lower than multifamily, making them easier to operate while generating strong cash flow.
🏡 Mobile Home Communities: Stable, Affordable, Profitable
Residents usually own their homes and rent only the land, creating stable, long-term income. With expenses around 35–40% of income, mobile home communities offer higher profit margins than multifamily and are a resilient, cash-flow-generating asset.
Barriers to Entry = More Opportunity for Us
Not many investors feel comfortable acquiring or managing self-storage or mobile home parks. These unfamiliar asset classes create natural barriers to entry, leaving room for experienced operators like us. Since 2021, we’ve been successfully investing in diversified assets — multifamily, storage, mobile home communities, and more — giving us the expertise to navigate opportunities that newer investors may hesitate to pursue.
The Big Picture
When one asset class slows down, another can pick up the slack. That’s the power of diversification: it smooths out highs and lows, keeps your money working, and positions you to capture opportunities across different market cycles.
Ready to Explore What’s Possible?
Whether you're new to investing or expanding your portfolio, we’re here to help. We’ll align your goals with the right mix of multifamily, self-storage, RV parks, and mobile home communities — and make diversification work for you.
