what people say
testimonials.
In 2017, we took part in a 6 storey, 63 unit brand new purpose built rental apartment project. We knew they had a great track record. The general partner was able to sell the entire building to an institutional investor. The end result was 56% return over 31 months or 19% annualized return.

K. Brophy
I’ve invested in several development projects (with Cheri and Rick). I was provided with accurate projections, a thorough analysis of the marketplace, and monthly updates. The returns on my investments were at or above projected returns. My interests as an investor were always a priority. I appreciate the diligence, concern, and honesty that Cheri and Rick put into their projects and their relationships. I feel my investments are in trustworthy and capable hands.
