02 · Acquisition Partner

An operator on your acquisitions team.

For sponsors and capital partners who have the capital and the mandate but not the bandwidth to run acquisitions properly. I take deals from first lead through closing, as part of your team rather than as a vendor sending reports.

Who this is for

You have the capital. The pipeline is the constraint.

  • Sponsors who can close but cannot look at enough deals to be selective.
  • Operators who run properties well and want acquisitions handled by someone who has also operated.
  • Capital partners who need someone accountable between the lead and the closing table.
  • Teams buying manufactured housing, RV and outdoor hospitality, self-storage, small multifamily, net lease or small-balance commercial.
Lead to close

What I actually do.

01 · Sourcing

Finding deals worth the time

Broker relationships, off-market outreach and direct approaches to owners, filtered against a buy box we agree on first so I am not bringing you things you would never buy.

02 · Underwriting

Numbers you can defend

Every deal run through the same engine described on the method page. Normalized income, researched risk, and the reasoning attached, so the investment committee conversation starts from evidence rather than a feeling.

03 · Offer structure

Including the structures most buyers skip

Conventional debt, bank plus a seller second, and full seller carry. Reading the documents and the seller's situation for financing signals, then structuring around them when they are there.

04 · Diligence and close

Through to the table

Document requests, third party coordination, the findings that change the price and the ones that end it, and staying on the deal through closing rather than handing it off after the LOI.

How partnership works

Aligned, not billed by the hour.

I am compensated with a fee and a participation in the deals I bring to close, which means I carry real exposure to whether the number was right. That is the whole point. Terms depend on your structure, the asset and how much of the process you want me to own, so they get discussed privately rather than published on a page.

Nothing on this page is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy a security, and nothing here is an invitation to invest passively in anything. This describes a working arrangement between me and an acquisitions team. It makes no representation about returns.
Why me

I have been on the other side of the closing table.

I have invested in real estate for over twenty years with my own money, including an RV park I bought, operated for two years and sold. Operating one is what teaches you which line items in an offering memorandum are decoration. Alongside that I spent my career turning underperforming product portfolios into performing ones, which is the same skill applied to a different asset: find the few variables that decide the outcome, then build the process that computes them the same way every time.

Software can compute a number. It cannot stand behind one. On your acquisitions team I do both. More on the background.
