Investment Process

Selective Investment Process

We screen thousands of commercial real estate investments every year to find select opportunities. Our focus on Small-to-medium Commercial Opportunistic Real Estate “SCORE” empowers our seeking of superior investment opportunities.

We believe our team’s expertise and experience gives us an investing advantage over other buyers and sellers in the small-to-medium sized commercial real estate market.

SCORE Selectivity

Within the SCORE market, we opportunistically take advantage of the best investments we can find, across segments, like multifamily, office, residential and retail, as well as strategies, such as stabilized, value-add and development. We do not base investment selection on what is marketable or the “hot” segment of the moment. Oftentimes the best investment opportunities are found outside of the most popular segment.

Due to the successful track record of our team members in purchasing commercial properties, off-market private opportunities are sometimes presented and given special consideration. In terms of public opportunities, the team screens based on multiple criteria prior to in-depth analysis.

Selective Screening

Properties in many geographies are simply rejected for unfavorable demographics or negative regional business environments. Within preferred metros many other properties are rejected based on unfavorable pricing.

SCORE properties meeting pricing criteria are then subjected to multi-factor analysis. In subsequent rounds of study, passing properties also undergo more extensive analysis leveraging the company’s proprietary financial modeling.

Comprehensive Analysis

The thorough analysis process involves projecting a spectrum of results with both likely worst- and best-case assumptions. In addition, potential investments are subjected to stress testing to identity properties able to withstand downside risk without requiring new capital injections.

Priority is given to deal terms that will enable robust financial models that protect investor capital, even in likely worst case scenarios. Furthermore, superior return profiles are sought, while also avoiding undue risks.

Commercial properties that pass comprehensive financial analysis based on available information are identified for possible purchase. Then such properties are subjected to additional stages of due diligence involving disclosures of private information we require. This stage of disclosure serves to verify financial model assumptions and further refine such data points.

End-to-end Process

Physical inspections take place, as well as further analysis when deemed pertinent of tenant bases. Lastly, for the very few opportunities favorably passing all such analysis criteria, additional analysis and approval is engaged around contractual terms.

Resulting business plans with such comprehensive details and results of analysis are typically presented to investors prior to participating in investments.
