Acquisition

We source the asset, not just the deal.

Acquisition Advisory

We source the asset, not just the deal.

We work exclusively on behalf of buyers. That is the structural choice that lets us tell you when a deal is wrong. Most brokerage firms split their advisors across both sides of the table. We do not, because the buyer who is paying a 30 percent down payment deserves an advisor whose only mandate is their return.

Acquisition starts with a mandate session. We sit down with your return targets, your risk tolerance, your hold horizon, and your debt picture. From that, we build a target profile: which submarkets, what cap rate band, what vintage, what unit count, what value add levers. Then we run the network. Our broker relationships across OC and LA County surface assets before they hit the open market, and every property you see on our shortlist has already been underwritten to your criteria.

The work does not stop at LOI. We coordinate inspections, model your hold period return under three exit scenarios, walk the rent roll line by line, and stay on the deal through close. You hear from us every business day from accepted offer through funding. You decide whether to bid; we make sure the decision is informed.

Most of the deals that make sense for a 1 to 50 unit investor do not start on MLS. They start in conversations. Alex spends most of his week walking buildings, returning calls from owners considering a sale, and tracking properties for clients who told him exactly what they want.

What sourcing looks like

  • MLS scan, every morning. Active multifamily inventory across both counties, filtered to your unit count and price band.
  • Off market. A working list of owners Alex has talked to in the last 18 months. Some are 6 months out. Some are this week.
  • Pocket listings. Other agents share with Alex when a deal fits a known buyer profile he tracks.
  • Distressed and inheritance situations. Probate, divorce, and seller fatigue come through his network often.

How a typical engagement runs

Most buyer engagements begin with a 30 minute call. You walk Alex through capital, target submarkets, unit count band, and timeline. He puts you on the live deal flow inside 48 hours. You see 3 to 5 deals a week that fit. When a deal moves, you get a 1 page financial brief with the ROI math already done.

If a deal makes it to LOI, Alex coordinates inspection, financing, and closing. He works with a short list of vetted property managers, lenders, and 1031 QIs you can pick from after close.
