Principal Investments
Commercial real estate, multifamily, and land across Dallas–Fort Worth and Texas.
I don’t just broker deals, I also personally acquire and develop real estate, with a focus on industrial, commercial, and land assets, plus select multifamily opportunities across Dallas–Fort Worth and Texas.
While my brokerage work is primarily centered on industrial, commercial, and land, on the principal side I look for deals where I can bring an owner’s mindset to the table, underwriting not just the transaction, but the business plan, capital stack, and exit.
If you have a site, building, or off-market opportunity you’d like to share, or you’re looking for a principled, execution-focused partner on a deal, this page outlines what I’m typically looking for.
Investment Approach
My investment approach is straightforward:
Focus on fundamentals
Strong locations, sound demand drivers, and realistic business plans are more important than overly aggressive pro formas.
Hands-on value creation
I’m usually most interested where I can add value through leasing, repositioning, entitlement, or development, not just clipping a coupon.
Clear risk/return trade-offs
I care about downside protection, capital structure, and realistic timelines just as much as the projected upside.
Alignment with operating partners
When I partner, I like structures where everyone is aligned on strategy, capital at risk, and exit expectations.
What I Buy
Right now, I’m primarily focused on:
Land
For land, I’m most interested where there’s a clear path to vertical development and the site size matches the likely end use. Typically, that looks like:
Single-family, multifamily & build-to-rent communities
5 - 30 acres, depending on density, utilities, and topography, where there’s a clear for-sale residential, multifamily, or BTR story.
Infill & outparcels
~0.5 - 1.0-acre sites in established or high-traffic corridors that support QSR, coffee, bank, single-tenant net lease (STNL).
Commercial & retail build-to-suit sites
0.5 - 2 acres for build-to-suit users, medical, small strip centers, or standalone commercial buildings.
Industrial & flex land
Usually 2 - 10 acres suitable for small-bay industrial, flex, IOS, or light manufacturing concepts.
I prefer sites in growth corridors or infill locations with a path to entitlements, good access, and surrounding uses that support the eventual project.
Commercial, Industrial & Flex Warehouse
For income-producing buildings, I’m typically targeting opportunities where there is a clear value-creation plan.
Deal size (all assets):
$2 - 15 million in total capitalization
Industrial & Flex / Warehouse
Building size: up to ~50,000 square feet
Site coverage: I’m especially interested in low-coverage sites with ~25% building coverage or less
Profile: Iight industrial, flex, or warehouse assets that can benefit from lease-up, re-tenanting, or repositioning (e.g., upgrading tenancy, cleaning up the rent roll, modest CapEx, or rethinking site use)
Commercial (Non-Industrial) Properties
Building size: ~ 2,500 - 10,000 square feet
Property types: Service, medical/office, small retail, or mixed commercial buildings in strong or improving locations
Profile: I’m most interested where there’s a clear value-add angle
Lease-up of vacant space
Mark-to-market or structured rent growth
Repositioning the tenant mix or use
Improving visibility, access, or basic curb appeal
In all cases, I’m a ‘pound-for-pound’ buyer and looking for real estate fundamentals that make sense (location, demand drivers, and replacement cost).
Cap rates don’t matter.
Multifamily
I selectively invest in smaller to mid-sized multifamily assets where the location, demand story, and value-creation plan are compelling.
Unit count: ~20 - 200 units, depending on location and structure
Vintage: 1990s construction or newer, or older properties with a compelling, well-underwritten repositioning story
Profile:
Operational upside: improving collections, reducing expenses, or managing more professionally
Physical upside: targeted renovations, amenity improvements, or unit upgrades with a clear return on cost
Location: well-located or path-of-growth submarkets with a clear, defensible demand story
I’m less interested in very heavy lifts with unclear exit strategies or deals that rely purely on aggressive rent growth assumptions to pencil.
Markets & Deal Profile
While I look at opportunities across Texas, my core focus is:
Primary focus:
Dallas–Fort Worth
Selective focus:
Other major Texas markets (Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and key secondary markets)
Typical deal profile (flexible):
Product: Commercial, industrial, select multifamily, single-family and build-to-rent entitlement or land tied to those uses
Size: Right now, I’m most often looking at small to mid-sized deals where an active approach adds real value
Strategy: Core-plus, value-add, and development, rather than stabilized cash-flowing real estate
Types of Opportunities I’m Best For
I’m generally a good fit for:
Off-market or lightly marketed deals
Where you want a serious, qualified counterparty who can underwrite and respond quickly.
Situations that require problem-solving
Assets with leasing challenges, short-term complexity, or entitlement needs where value can be created by doing the work.
Operator / Sponsor alignment
Where an operator, sponsor, or landowner needs an aligned partner on capital, structuring, or execution.
I’m not the right fit for pure “highest bidder wins” auctions with very aggressive pricing.
How to Share a Deal or Co-Invest
If you have an opportunity you think might fit, here’s the simplest way to start:
Send a quick overview:
Asset or site type (commercial, multifamily, land)
Location (city, submarket, major cross streets)
Asking price or price guidance
Attach what you have:
OM, broker package, basic rent roll, land survey, concept plan - whatever is handy
We get on a call:
I’ll review, we talk through the opportunity, and I’ll let you know whether it fits my criteria or if I see a better path for it.
If there’s a fit:
We’ll work through the role (principal vs. partner), timing, capital needs, and next steps.
Have a deal or site you’d like to run by me?
Send me the details or schedule a call, and we’ll walk through it together.
