INVEST IN REAL ESTATE

Work with a closer.
Work with John Anthony.

Confidence. Experience. Execution.

Real estate can be a powerful part of a long-term investment strategy, but the property has to make sense beyond the listing price. I help investors evaluate the opportunity, understand the numbers, consider the financing and build a strategy around what they're trying to accomplish.

Strategic Opportunities

Investment Opportunities

Multi-Family

Evaluate multifamily opportunities with the property, income potential, financing, expenses and long-term strategy in mind.

RENTAL PROPERTIES

Explore residential properties with rental potential and evaluate how location, acquisition cost, financing and market conditions affect the opportunity.

VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITIES

For properties that need work or repositioning, we'll look beyond the purchase price and consider improvements, financing, potential value and exit strategy.

LONG-TERM OWNERSHIP

For investors focused on building a real estate portfolio over time, we'll evaluate properties with the bigger picture in mind.

THE PROPERTY

Evaluate multifamily opportunities with the property, income potential, financing, expenses and long-term strategy in mind.

Hold, improve, rent, refinance or eventually sell. The acquisition should support the larger objective.

A property can look like a great opportunity and still be the wrong investment. Before we focus on what's available, I want to understand what you're trying to accomplish, how you plan to finance it, how long you expect to hold it and what needs to happen for the investment to make sense.

My background in both real estate and mortgage lending allows me to look at the transaction from both sides. The property matters. So does the money behind it.

Problem Solver. Strategist. Closer.

THE STRATEGY

THE NUMBERS

Financing, estimated expenses, potential income, equity requirements and transaction costs.

THE STRATEGY

Hold, improve, rent, refinance or eventually sell. The acquisition should support the larger objective.

The Closer

Problem Solver. Strategist. Closer.

Investment transactions can get complicated quickly. Financing changes. Property conditions surface. Numbers move. Timelines collide. That's where experience matters. I look at the entire transaction, identify problems early and work through them with the investment objective still in focus.

MARKET & PROPERTY ANALYSIS

FINANCING & DEAL STRUCTURE

NEGOTIATION & EXECUTION

THE DEAL AND THE FINANCING HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

Purchase price is only part of an investment decision. Financing structure, down payment, interest rate, property condition, expected expenses and future plans can change the economics of a transaction.+

​

With experience in both real estate and mortgage lending, I can help you look at how those pieces interact before you make the move.

Investor FAQ

Yes. You don't need to already own investment property to start the conversation. I'll help you understand the process, evaluate potential opportunities and look at the numbers before you make a decision. The goal is to make sure you understand what you're buying, why you're buying it and how it fits into your larger strategy.

Resort / May 2035

I work with clients considering residential investment opportunities including single-family homes, multifamily properties, rental properties, value-add opportunities and long-term holds. Every investment is different, so we'll evaluate the property based on your goals, financial position and intended strategy.

Senior Residential Housing / Feb 2035

Yes. We'll look beyond the asking price and consider factors such as comparable properties, condition, potential income, estimated expenses, financing, required capital and your plans for the property. I can help you understand the pieces of the transaction so you can make an informed decision about whether the opportunity fits your goals.

Custom Residence / Dec 2035

Yes. My background includes more than 20 years across real estate and mortgage lending, which gives me an understanding of how financing can affect an investment transaction. We can discuss the financing side of the opportunity and, when appropriate, explore available lending options based on the property and your financial situation.

Custom Residence / Dec 2035

Yes. When one transaction depends on another, timing and strategy become especially important. I can help coordinate the real estate side of both transactions, evaluate the timing and work through how the sale and subsequent acquisition fit together. If you're considering a 1031 exchange or another tax strategy, we'll also coordinate with the appropriate tax and legal professionals for guidance specific to your situation.

Resort / Jan 2035

BRING ME THE OPPORTUNITY. LET'S RUN THE NUMBERS.

Already looking at a property? Thinking about investing but don't know where to start? Tell me what you're considering and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll look at the opportunity, the numbers and the strategy from there.
