A Message from Our
Founder & CEO
My long background in real estate lending taught me the importance of truly understanding the intrinsic value of the real estate collateral securing any given loan and then only lending an amount that maintained a healthy margin of safety. Although I didn’t have a name for it at the time, those early experiences ingrained in me the principles of “value investing” as they can be applied to real estate asset-based investments. Having persevered through multiple market cycles (including the Great Recession and now COVID), this core belief – more than anything else – has contributed to a nearly three-decade track record of investment performance of which I am very proud (and which we routinely make available to investors – something I believe all investors should insist sponsors be willing and able to do).
