How does it work?
- We Buy. Our strategy and philosophy are simple. We don’t buy fancy buildings and pay top dollar for them. We locate bargain properties by buying only the properties with high cap rates, and then we manage them ourselves, so we know they are taken care of correctly. This way, the investor wins.
- You Invest. You invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality real estate we believe will perform well in all market conditions.
- How we improve properties:
- We provide green energy solutions with incentive dollars offered by utility companies.
- We upgrade existing spaces to allow for higher rental income.
- We strive to have a minimum of 10% of our quality housing portfolio rented to Veterans through the Connecticut Veterans Administration.
- We Collect Rents. Our portfolio of income-producing properties generates rental payments from our creditworthy tenants.
- YOU GET PAID! We mail or wire cash distributions to you, the investor, every quarter.
Frequently Asked Questions
A REIT is a real estate investment trust. A RELP is a real estate limited partnership. Both leverage the power of real estate investing to allow individuals a traditionally safe, high return investment as an alternative to the stock market. It also allows the investor to diversify their investment portfolio without the headaches of being a landlord. No repairing leaky pipes in the middle of the night!
Now is the perfect time to invest in our RELP – RELP investing offers tax benefits like depreciation. And real estate assets can appreciate over time, meaning they can be cash-flow positive and produce stable quarterly income from the tenants.
Unlike crowdfunding real estate options, traditional REITs, syndications, and other RELPS – our first no fee RELP doesn’t have a “management fee” – which means a larger portion of your investment gets invested and earns a return. We don’t waste money on phony, sexy, glitzy marketing, high-end salespeople, or fake photos of fancy “signature” properties. What we do is simple. We buy a portfolio of small specialized low-cost commercial properties in safe industries (no strip malls that are targets for an AMAZON take-over or fancy hotels that COVID can crush) and residential properties. We fix them up, we lease them, we buy them for a low purchasing price, and you, the investor, wins.
Management fees on traditional RELPs, REITs, Syndication, and Real Estate Crowd Funding platforms can range from 3.4% to 24.7%, with the majority being between 6% and 9%. Our management fee is 0%. So instead of millionaires in fancy offices taking all the profits, the profits of our No Fee RELP go to you.

Talk to your professional accountant or tax advisor – but in general terms – our RELP offers excellent tax benefits. Real Estate distributions typically can be taxed at lower rates than ordinary income. Owning a part of a real estate portfolio means you get to depreciate that asset on your tax return, off-setting other gains. The tax benefits can be massive.

Our strategy and philosophy are simple. We don’t pick winning and losing sectors. We don’t buy fancy buildings and pay top dollar for them. We hunt for bargains – buy only the properties with high cap rates – we manage them ourselves to ensure they are taken care of properly – and the investor wins. No sexy overpriced “feature” properties mean more profits for you. We stick to what we know and have succeeded at for over 30 years. We invest in towns we know, in sectors we know, and only when the math adds up — in Connecticut – where we live.
You can always sell or transfer your Share or ownership stake to another investor – or after two years – you can still pull out and get your initial investment back at any time – no questions asked – but we don’t think you ever will want to.

We focus on small, inexpensive, easy to rent residential properties and specialized small to medium-sized commercial properties in healthcare areas.
