Residential Acquisitions

Single-Family & Multifamily Acquisitions

Disciplined sourcing. Direct owner engagement. Focused acquisition execution.

For investors and property owners

Matching the right property with the right buyer.

The same discipline that moves land and infrastructure acquisitions forward — property-owner outreach, negotiation, site control, and due diligence — applies directly to residential investment. I help buyers define what they are looking for, find properties that fit, and keep each opportunity organized from first conversation to closing.

For owners, that means a direct, respectful conversation about your goals and timing. For investors, it means opportunities screened against your criteria rather than a stream of unqualified leads.

Each engagement is scoped to the buyer’s strategy. These are services offered, not a record of completed residential transactions.

Single-Family Acquisitions

Property sourcing for renovation, rental, and portfolio strategies, matched to the buyer’s defined markets, price range, and condition tolerance.

02

Multifamily Acquisitions

Opportunity sourcing and preliminary evaluation of small multifamily and apartment properties, from duplexes to larger unit counts.

03

Off-Market Owner Outreach

Focused research, direct owner engagement, and consistent follow-up with owners who may not be listing publicly.

04

Acquisition Coordination

Support with preliminary screening, negotiation, due diligence coordination, and the transaction milestones that lead to closing.

The acquisition process

Five steps, clearly managed.

  1. 01

    Define the criteria

    Define target markets, property types, budget, and investment criteria.

  2. 02

    Source and screen

    Identify and screen potential opportunities against those criteria.

  3. 03

    Engage owners

    Engage owners and discuss their transaction objectives.

  4. 04

    Coordinate terms

    Coordinate property information, offer terms, and due diligence.

  5. 05

    Track to closing

    Track milestones and coordinate with the buyer’s legal, title, escrow, and inspection professionals through closing.

Preliminary screening

Tailored to your strategy.

Screening reflects the buyer’s strategy, not a one-size checklist. Depending on the property type, it may consider the following.

Single-family homes

  • Comparable sales
  • Property condition
  • Renovation scope
  • Rental potential

Multifamily properties

  • Rent rolls and occupancy
  • Operating expenses
  • Net operating income
  • Capital needs
  • Local rental comparables

Preliminary screening is an early filter, not a valuation or underwriting conclusion. All financial assumptions — rents, expenses, income, and repair estimates — require independent verification by the buyer and its advisors. No returns or transactions are guaranteed.
