Who We Are
Our Process
We acquire and manage multifamily apartment communities in the greater Cincinnati, OH market with a focus on adding value while providing strong, consistent returns for our investors. How do we do this?
Raising Capital
Through the relationships we have developed, we raise capital from accredited investors who are seeking the diversification and wealth opportunities that come from investing in real estate. We bring various investors together as limited partners in a limited liability company, where their capital can be pooled to acquire an investment property.
We also work with various lenders to ensure we are getting the most advantageous loan package for the investment. By getting to know the objectives of our investors, it helps us identify what types of investment opportunities are best suited to help them achieve their goals.
Acquiring Properties
Through our network of commercial real estate brokers, fellow investors, and direct relationships with property owners, we source high-quality, often off-market opportunities that align with our investment criteria and have the potential to generate strong returns and long-term wealth for our investors.
During the due diligence process, we leverage our unique experience and analytical approach to uncover value-creation opportunities that others may overlook. By applying creativity and strategic thinking, we craft tailored plans to increase revenue and reduce expenses—both of which directly enhance the property’s value and investor returns.
Managing Properties
Once we acquire a property, we immediately begin executing the strategies developed during due diligence. As a vertically integrated firm with in-house property management and construction teams, we’re able to directly oversee day-to-day operations—ranging from leasing to maintenance and capital improvements. Our background in the trades gives us a unique, hands-on advantage in identifying cost-effective solutions and driving operational efficiency, which ultimately enhances performance and value.
Transparency is one of our core values. Each of our investors receives 24/7 access to a personalized investor portal, where they can track the status of their investment, review quarterly reports and annual tax documents, and view current and historical distributions.
Exiting Investments
At SNS Capital Group, our typical exit strategy includes pursuing a refinance around Year 3—after executing our value-add improvements and stabilizing operations. Thanks to our vertically integrated model and disciplined onsite execution, we’re often able to return a significant portion of investor capital at this stage, regardless of broader market conditions.
While we don’t guarantee a full return of capital, our operational approach is designed to create this opportunity through forced appreciation, not market timing. After the refinance, investors maintain full ownership and continue receiving quarterly distributions, positioning them for long-term wealth creation with reduced capital at risk.
Our Team
Our team consists of the three SNS co-founders. With our varying backgrounds and skill sets, we are able to work together to meet the demands required of a multifamily investment sponsor. Click on the photos below for more information on each of our co-founders’ background and experience.
