Investment Strategy
A Different Approach to Real Estate Investing
Emphasis on Predictable Cash Flow
Our approach to real estate investing is different from many firms. We don't rely on significant transactional events or unpredictable market timing to generate returns. Instead, our strategy emphasizes immediate, dependable, and growing cash flow. This allows us to reduce risk and mitigate volatility for our investors.
We Identify Opportunities Characterized By
Limited correlation to macroeconomic factors.
Market dislocation and undercapitalized or underperforming prior management.
Strong potential for reinvestment and value‑add growth.
Sound Investment Plan
Apartments, Transformed
Our plan for the properties we acquire is straightforward and effective. We identify opportunities to normalize rents to current market rates by executing on a market‑proven value‑added capital expenditure program.
Improvements typically prioritize unit upgrades with enhanced interior finishes and appliances, refreshed landscaping, and revitalized exteriors and common areas.
The result is transformed apartments, a renewed community for residents, and better returns for our investment partners.
Proven Track Record
Decades of Experience
The founding partners of Pearl Equity Partners, Werner Minshall and Lydia Monroy, have career-long experience selecting and managing attractive risk-adjusted real estate investments located in major markets throughout the United States.
Their experience with operations, asset management, finance, and markets enables them to return long-term capital appreciation and current returns on equity to the firm’s investors. Through conservative management strategies and by continuing to reinvest in the firm’s assets, Pearl preserves long-term asset values and delivers attractive equity returns.
Cash Flow Stability
We Focus on Factors
We Can Control...
Cash flow and loan amortization are predictable, controllable factors in a real estate investment. This is where we focus our efforts.
...We Don't Speculate on Factors We Can't
Instead of hoping for unpredictable appreciation or market timing, we target properties that provide reliable cash flow over long periods.
Acquisition Profile
Characteristics of Our Typical Investments:
Value-Add Opportunities
We seek opportunities to make interior renovations, common area upgrades, and enhancements to the property’s curb appeal—all of which increase the property’s desirability and cash flow.
Management Opportunities
We seek properties that are undermanaged and could provide superior returns by normalizing rents to current market rates and through active professional management.
Off-Market Opportunities
We seek first-look properties and use our strong broker relationships to strike a deal before the property goes on the open market.
Compelling Return Profiles
We seek opportunities that show promise for attractive investor member IRRs over their hold period and solid levered cash-on-cash returns.
