Investment Strategy

Purchase Value Add Property

Identify and purchase a distressed or undervalued property at a favorable price. This requires careful research, analysis, and negotiation skills. 

Rehab

Enhance the property’s condition, increase its value, and make it more attractive for potential renters through repairs, cosmetic upgrades, or substantial renovations. 

Rent

Find suitable tenants and lease the property. Ensure that the rental income generated from the property covers holding costs and provides passive income. 

Refinance

Approach a lender to refinance the property based on its new, higher appraised value. The goal is to pull out as much of the invested capital as possible.
