02Finding deals
Where great deals actually come from.
The best opportunities rarely show up on a listing site. They come from consistent work across many channels — and from being the buyer people think of first.
Direct-to-owner outreach
Many owners have never listed their buildings. Thoughtful, persistent outreach starts conversations that turn into deals.
Estates, trusts & attorneys
Life events like estates, retirements and partnership changes often lead to quiet, off-market sales.
Lenders & special situations
Bank-owned property, note sales, foreclosures and auctions can create opportunities for prepared buyers.
Public records & data
Ownership history, tax records, permits and violations reveal buildings and owners worth a closer look.
Local presence
Walking the neighborhoods, knowing the blocks and staying visible keeps the pipeline full year after year.
03Evaluating a deal
A deal is only a deal at the right price.
Finding a property is step one. Here’s the checklist every opportunity goes through before it becomes an offer.
Location fundamentals
Transit, jobs, demand, supply pipeline and the direction the neighborhood is heading.
Income — today and potential
The rent roll and in-place leases compared with realistic market rents.
Expenses & condition
Taxes, insurance, utilities, payroll and the true cost of deferred maintenance.
Rules & regulation
Zoning, rent regulation, violations and anything that limits what can be done.
Financing
Available debt, terms and how the deal performs under conservative assumptions.
The plan
A clear business plan to add value — and a realistic view of the long-term exit.

05FAQ
Questions about finding & selling deals.
What is an off-market property?
An off-market property is one that is for sale, or could be, without being publicly listed on the MLS or commercial listing sites. These deals usually come through relationships with owners, brokers, attorneys and lenders, and often let both sides transact quietly and on flexible terms.
How do investors find real estate deals?
Most strong deals come from a mix of channels: long-term relationships with brokers, direct outreach to owners, attorneys and estate representatives, lender-owned and distressed situations, auctions, and careful work with public records and market data. Consistency matters more than any single channel.
What makes a property a good deal?
A good deal starts with the location and the numbers: in-place income, realistic expenses, the condition of the building, available financing and a clear plan to add value. A property is only a good deal at the right price, so disciplined underwriting is what separates a deal from a listing.
What is a value-add property?
A value-add property is one whose income and value can be increased through improvements, such as renovating units, fixing deferred maintenance, upgrading management, leasing vacant space or reducing expenses.
Do you work with brokers?
Yes. Brokers are an important source of opportunities, and submissions are welcome from brokers as well as directly from owners.
What happens after I submit a property?
The acquisitions team reviews the information, follows up with any questions and lets you know whether the property is a fit. Submitting a property does not create any obligation for either side.
