  • Private Real Estate

    We believe in finding “smart” real estate investments, with a focus
    on believable and achievable assumptions and sophisticated
    tax planning.

  • The MAD Initiative

    A strategy that strives to create a cohesive relationship between our two principles.

  • Social Impact

    We are committed to our philanthropic endeavors, both in the local community and abroad, striving to make a difference in the best way possible.

Investing with an Impact

The MAD Initiative allows investors to redirect distributions and future upside received from a Private Fund investment towards an aligned nonprofit interest. This not only creates value for our investors, but it also can produce substantial donations to selected charitable organizations.
