We buy buildings other people have given up on.
Apartment buildings, warehouses, and the small companies that keep them running — in Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland. We pay between $100,000 and $2,000,000. Half empty, tired, or full of somebody else's problem is exactly what we are looking for.
What we buy
Apartment buildings. Places where people live. Four units or forty. If half the units are empty and the boiler is older than we are, keep reading — that is usually a good sign for us, not a bad one.
Warehouses and light industrial. Storage, workshops, garages, small manufacturing, fenced yards. Buildings with a concrete floor and a big door tend to be worth more than the owner thinks.
The businesses inside them. Trades, service, repair and supply companies. Often the owner is ready to stop and there is nobody to hand it to. We buy those — on one condition: you stay involved long enough to hand it over properly. We come from an operator background, so the job after that is keeping it running and growing it with better technology, tighter process and hard work. Not cutting it apart.
Where we invest
Three states. We stay inside them because we would rather know one region well than guess at ten.

The range we buy in today.
How we pay for it
On past projects under $1M we covered both the purchase price and the whole renovation ourselves. No syndicate to poll, no lender deciding in week six that the roof disqualifies the building.
Above that we bring financing in, which adds time but not committees. Either way, one small group makes the call.
How it works
1. You tell us what you have
Address, roughly what it is, and anything you already know. Photos help. If you only have three sentences, send three sentences — we will ask the rest.
2. We look it up and read it
We check the county records, the map, and what similar buildings nearby have sold for. If something does not add up we email you a question in plain words.
3. You get a straight answer
Usually inside two business days: yes and here is roughly what we would pay, or no and here is why. A no from us is not a comment on your building — it usually means it does not fit what we do.
Common questions
- What do you buy?
- Apartment buildings, warehouses and light industrial property, and small businesses that work with those buildings — trades, service, repair and supply companies.
- What size deals do you do?
- We buy between $100,000 and $2,000,000. On past projects under $1M we paid for the purchase and all the repairs with our own money.
- Where do you buy?
- Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland.
- Do you buy buildings that need a lot of work?
- Yes. Empty, half empty or in bad shape is fine. That is the kind of project we like.
- What makes you say no?
- A price that already assumes the work is done. Ground that needs an environmental clean-up. And anything outside our three states.
- Do you buy small businesses too?
- Yes — trades, service, repair and supply companies. We only buy where the owner will stay long enough to hand it over properly, usually three to twelve months.
- How fast do you answer?
- Usually within two business days. We tell you clearly yes, no, or what we would pay.
- How do I send you a property?
- Use the short form on this page. It takes about one minute and you can attach photos or papers. Sending it costs nothing and does not commit you to anything.
