Investment Philosophy

We believe real estate offers unique and compelling attributes for savvy investors with the resources and talent to capitalize on the asset class’s inherent inefficiencies. Unlike liquid public markets, commercial real estate markets are more opaque, therein creating opportunities for specialists like SRS. Our aim is simple: to achieve high rates of return by investing for current income and long-term underlying capital appreciation. Speculation, “quick flips,” leveraged plays, and other excesses of the recent market stand in stark contrast with our tried-and-true approach of buying low, underwriting conservatively, and generating value through fundamental property enhancements.

SRS typically evaluates roughly 50 potential opportunities to find a single investment, a 2% “hit rate” of which we are extremely proud. In short, we believe our disciplined, opportunistic approach gives SRS significant, sustainable competitive advantages over our peers.
