PRESERVE CAPITAL

Umbrella Icon-02 (1)-trimmed

Our core focus is capital preservation.  We invest in the Midwest because this market offers stability and attractive current cash flow. However,   our conservative investment approach 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 interests alongside those of our investment partners, we believe we are best positioned to achieve superior financial returns for all.

ADD VALUE

We seek to 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 highly 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, rather than from an outright sale. From a tax perspective, income from an outright sale generates an immediate tax liability, whereas income from refinancing proceeds does not.

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.
