Core Strengths
Our strategies rely on our core strengths:
Experienced Senior Management Team Our senior management team is led by Mr. Locker, who has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of real estate finance, private investment, capital markets, transaction structuring and risk management. Mr. Locker has extensive experience in originating and structuring debt and equity financing and providing strategic advice to real estate companies across a variety of real estate sectors in key markets throughout the United States.
Multiple Sources of Potential Transactions Our senior management team has strong relationships with real estate owners and investors, third party mortgage and real estate brokers, commercial mortgage-backed securities originators, commercial and investment banks, financial institutions and other strategic partners in the United States. In addition, our non-executive co-founders have strong relationships with similar parties in the United States, Germany and other Western European countries.
Multiple Opportunities to Invest in Various Components of the Capital Structure Because we offer a wide array of structured finance products and because we obtain investment leads from multiple sources, we have opportunities to evaluate potential investments in the same real estate asset more than once, allowing us to determine the type of investment in a project that we believe will offer us the best risk-adjusted returns.
Operational Efficiency Our employees have a wide range of experience and expertise in real estate capital markets, debt and equity investment origination, underwriting and asset management.
Strong Underwriting and Structuring Expertise Our in-house investment underwriters possess significant experience in the types of real estate assets for which we intend to provide financing, which will be critical to our investment review process. Our senior management team also has experience in structuring intercreditor agreements, participation agreements and servicing arrangements that can enhance returns, protect our rights and mitigate losses.
