PRESERVE CAPITAL

Umbrella Icon-02 (1)-trimmed

Our core focus is capital preservation.  We invest in the Midwest because this market offers superior downside protection combined with attractive current cash flow and stability. Our conservative approach toward investing in the Midwest has consistently  generated meaningful capital appreciation as well.

ALIGN INTERESTS

vertical-integration

We align interests by co-investing meaningfully in every asset we purchase, by minimizing fees, and by subordinating our economic interests to those of our partners. In addition, we are vertically integrated. This  means that we operate a fully developed asset management and property management platfom, and we commit our platform to optimize the value each asset. By aligning our capital and management platform with the goals of our investment partners, we are able to provide superior opportunities to achieve attractive financial returns.

ADD VALUE

Successful value-add investing requires the ability to identify  assets that are under performing due to inexperienced ownership, poorly capitalized ownership, management fatigue and/or deferred cosmetic maintenance. Any of these conditions can create opportunities to acquire assets at prices not reflective of their true, intrinsic value. Most important, we employ intensive physical due diligence efforts alongside conservative underwriting and  valuation techniques when acquiring and financing these assets, because we know that  our purchase price  is the one thing we cannot fix after closing.

BUILD ENDURING CASH FLOWS

After closing, we invest carefully in accretive interior and exterior upgrades  to grow durable, tax-efficient cash flows over time. Growing durable, repetitive cash flows  over time helps to preserve wealth and create the potential for meaningful capital appreciation.

When we are successful, we  prefer to return capital and profits with cash-out refinancing proceeds. From a tax perspecive, returning capital and profits from refinancing proceeds is generally fully tax-deferred, whereas income from sales proceeds is not. This  approach also allows us to hold long term and experience  the magic of long-term compounding cash flows without the execution risk of a 1031 exchange.

GIVE BACK

We invest in the communities we serve. We do this by implementing extensive, multi-year capital improvement programs in each property, thereby improving the quality of local housing opportunities. We also make local investments in support of the following three key themes:

  • Education
  • Community
  • Health & Well-being

We support these three key themes at the property level by organizing and leading local initiatives such as annual back-to-school supply drives and annual holiday toy drives for families in need. At the corporate level we provide support through annual investments in  local community organizations like Cincinnati Works and GeneroCity 513 in Cincinnati,  Junior Achievement  in Southwest Ohio, and the Foundation for Youth in Columbus, Indiana.
