Investment Strategy

We direct the Fund’s capital into "Job-Creating Entities" (JCEs) via loans or equity investments to fund construction and development. The operating plan is to acquire properties during the funding period, manage them for growth, and market them for sale upon maturity.

Decades of Aligned Experience

Real estate development requires more than just capital; it requires a team that speaks the same language. With a shared history of successful execution, Dino, Chris B., and Chris S. have bypassed the learning curve. Their distinct expertise in acquisitions, construction, and finance allows for decisive leadership and a level of transparency that investors can trust.

The Model: Value-Add & Opportunistic Development

Our strategy is built on a disciplined, three-phase operational cycle designed to force appreciation. We do not rely on passive market growth; we manufacture value through aggressive asset improvement and superior execution.

Phase 1: “Buying Right” The Acquisition

We target assets where the "intrinsic value" of the land or location exceeds the current pricing due to asset distress, obsolescence, or mismanagement.

  • Target Profile: Single-family residences and developable land in prime South Florida sub-markets (Palm Beach, Coastal Fort Lauderdale, Miami) that are physically outdated or structurally under-utilized.

  • Off-Market Focus: Leveraging local networks to acquire properties before they hit the open market (MLS), ensuring a lower cost basis.

  • Strict Underwriting: Every acquisition is subjected to rigorous financial stress-testing by our CFO, ensuring viable margins even in flat market scenarios.

Phase 2: The "Turnkey" Creation

This is our primary competitive advantage. With internal construction expertise led by Partner Chris Brook, we control the riskiest part of real estate development: the build.

  • Cost & Schedule Control: Direct oversight of the construction process allows us to mitigate "scope creep," control material costs, and deliver projects faster than competitors relying solely on third-party GCs.

  • Luxury Specification: We renovate or build to the specific tastes of the modern luxury buyer—open floor plans, smart-home integration, high-end finishes, and indoor-outdoor living spaces.

  • Standard of Excellence: Transforming "tired" assets into "trophy" properties that command the highest price-per-square-foot in their neighborhood.

Phase 3: Capturing the Premium

We exit investments by selling into the deepest pool of demand: buyers seeking immediate occupancy.

  • The "Turnkey" Premium: As established in our Market Overview, buyers are willing to pay a significant premium for homes that require zero work. We monetize this convenience.

  • Staging & Marketing: Utilizing top-tier brokerage relationships to position our assets as "best-in-class" product, driving competitive bidding environments.

Why This Strategy Works Now

  1. Speed to Market: While major developers are stuck in multi-year permitting for high-rises, our single-family renovation/build timeline (6–18 months) allows us to recycle capital faster.

  2. Mitigated Risk: By buying existing structures in established neighborhoods, we reduce entitlement risk compared to raw land speculation.

Financial Model (Waterfall) Upon a capital event, distributable cash is allocated in the following order of priority:

  1. Debt Repayment: To lenders and creditors.

  2. Preferred Return: Investors receive a 7% + APY

  3. Return of Capital: Investors receive 100% of their unreturned capital contributions.

  4. Profit Split: Any remaining profits are distributed 60% to the investors and 40% to the Manager.
