Actively buying · direct principal, no broker layers to wade through

We're not tire-kickers. If it fits the box, we move.

Three lanes: small real estate, owner-operated businesses ready to transition, and capital tickets into deals someone else is running. Below is exactly what we're looking for — if yours fits, skip the deck and send it straight to us.

The Buy Box

What we're actually looking for

Real Estate

Small multifamily & mixed-use, value-add

→5–40 units, or mixed-use with a residential component
→Deferred maintenance / under-market rents okay — that's the deal
→$500K – $6M purchase price
→Secondary and tertiary markets preferred over primary metros

Operating Businesses

Profitable, owner-dependent, ready for a systems upgrade

→$750K – $10M revenue, real EBITDA (no addbacks fantasy)
→Founder/owner transitioning out — retirement, burnout, no successor
→Service, light manufacturing, or tech-enabled — not pure retail
→Open to seller financing or an earnout structure

Capital Placements

Debt or equity tickets into deals we're not operating

→$250K – $2M ticket size, debt or equity
→Real estate or operating-business-backed, not speculative
→Clear exit or refinance path inside 3–5 years
→We move fast once diligence is real — no committee delays

How It Works

Three steps, no runaround

Send the basics — what it is, the number, why it's for sale. No CIM required to get a first read.

We tell you within a few days if it's in the box. If it's not, we'll say so — no strung-along diligence.

If it's a fit, we move to real diligence fast — direct principal, no investment committee to wait on.
