Why We Started Pinnacle Capital

We've been where you are — self-managing rentals, chasing tenants, watching "passive income" turn into a second job. Pinnacle Capital exists so you don't have to make that trade. We do the sourcing, the underwriting, the renovation, and the day-to-day management — you get the returns, the tax benefits, and your time back.

Every deal we bring to our investors is one we'd put our own families' money into — because we do.

Investor Stories

People Like You, Investing Alongside Us

Pinnacle Capital investors at a client event

"I'm new to investing, and was both excited and nervous to get started. My big holdback was being able to trust someone with a large chunk of money. They walked alongside me, answered any questions I had and were great at communicating with me every step of the way. My experience was amazing and I'm already working on more. I'd recommend team to anyone I know. They are trustworthy, patient and clearly outline where your money is going and how it will be put to work. Greatly exceeded my expectations."
