MARKETING
Marketing is an integral component of real estate investment and asset management. Long term success in the real estate industry depends upon being able to adjust to changing market conditions. Our knowledge of the competition, demographic trends and customer needs, combined with over forty years of real estate experience, enables us to select the most effective marketing program for a specific asset.

Our
Investment Goal
We aim to return your principal investment as quickly as possible, thereby creating an infinite yield. Once the principal has been returned, you are free to invest it again while continuing to receive income for the life of the investment. By repeating this approach, your wealth compounds over time.
Investment Strategy
We maintain a wealth-creating approach to investing by purchasing properties we intend to hold for the long term. We believe that the appreciation and tax benefits of long-term real estate investments greatly exceed what may be accomplished in the short term. Selling at a predetermined milestone increases the risk of your investment portfolio by creating a taxable event and replacing stable investments with speculative ones.
We spend a great deal of time identifying beneficial deals—deals that will have a lot of competition and require expertise to win. Once we acquire a property, we leverage our keen understanding of the market and work diligently to optimize its value and returns.
Our-and YOUR-Investment Purposes
Appreciation
Appreciation is the main purpose of your investment. As the property appreciates through capital investments, NOI growth and market factors—your investment and your personal wealth grow alongside it.
Our-and YOUR-Investment Purposes
Cash Flow
Cash flow is a function of the property’s performance and is realized through excellent management practices. Knowing when and how to increase income and control expenses requires extensive industry knowledge and deep, data-driven analysis. Expenses are carefully managed to maximize the long-term potential of the property.
Our-and YOUR-Investment Purposes
Sheltering Income
We aim to return your principal investment as quickly as possible, thereby creating an infinite yield. Once the principal has been returned, you are free to invest it again while continuing to receive income for the life of the investment. By repeating this approach, your wealth compounds over time.
Our-and YOUR-Investment Purposes
Preserving Wealth
Leverage in real estate is a key driver of wealth creation. Leveraging allows you to amplify returns on your investment and frees up capital to deploy to other investments. The property’s appreciation is realized through leverage and can be tax deferred, provided that you maintain a buy-and-hold strategy. When we realize equity appreciation through refinancing, your share of the proceeds can be tax deferred. This process is repeated every five to ten years, when market conditions allow for it. Churning assets is never a tax-efficient strategy and is in direct conflict with wealth creation.
