It is no secret that in recent years the U.S. economy posed an unprecedented number of challenges for the real estate industry. High foreclosure rates weighed on consumers and the banks, while commercial markets dried up as business expansion slowed. This doom and gloom has set the stage for new development; however, as the economy and the real estate market has now begun to recover. The residential and commercial markets have undergone a dramatic shift, with most areas experiencing a shortage of inventory and increasing property values. The improving economy and growing demand for real estate, has created a phenomenal opportunity for forward-thinking investors.

The Company typically purchases Class A and B commercial buildings, which can be used for retail, office, or service-oriented activities.
