Our Criteria

The Kind of Deals We Say Yes To

We're picky on purpose — it's your money too. Every deal we bring to investors has to clear all six of these before we'll underwrite it seriously.

✓

Value-add multifamily, 50+ units

Enough scale to support professional, on-site management and real economies of scale — small enough that we can still improve it meaningfully.

✓

Secondary and tertiary Midwest markets

Markets like Rochester, Winona, and Moorhead, MN — steady employers, less institutional competition, and prices that still let the numbers work.

✓

Below-market rents with real upside

We want a clear, comp-supported path to push rents toward market — not a hope that the market pushes rents for us.

✓

Deferred maintenance we know how to fix

Cosmetic and mechanical issues we've solved before, priced accurately into our renovation budget — not surprises waiting to be found.

✓

A clear 3–5 year path to exit

We underwrite the exit before we ever make an offer, so investors know roughly when to expect their capital back.

✓

Numbers that work even in a slow market

Every deal is stress-tested against conservative rent growth and higher-than-expected expenses before we bring it to investors.

Just As Important

What We Pass On

— Ground-up development or heavy value-add turnarounds that depend on best-case assumptions to pencil.

— Deals in markets we haven't personally underwritten or don't know well.

— Anything where the only way the numbers work is aggressive rent growth we can't defend with real comps.

— Deals we wouldn't put our own families' money into.
