Contact UsHow we work with investors
Most investors who reach out to us are dealing with one of three things. They have a property sale closing soon and need to move efficiently. They are ready to step away from active property management and want a team they can trust to handle it. Or they are evaluating passive income options for the first time and want to understand exactly what they are getting into. All investment offerings are made through Emerson Equity LLC, Member FINRA and SIPC. Wherever you are starting from, here is what the process looks like.
We start with your situation, not our pitch
The first conversation is not about our current offerings. It is about you. How much time do you have? What does your tax situation look like? Are you trying to preserve capital, generate income, or both? We ask because the answers change everything about what we would recommend. A 1031 exchange investor with 40 days left needs a very different conversation than someone planning six months.
We show you what we have and explain exactly how we selected it
When offerings are available, we walk you through the property, the tenant, the lease terms, and the numbers. Christopher Beavor leads the underwriting review personally for every asset that reaches this stage, applying consistent criteria around tenant credit quality, lease duration, debt structure, and exit strategy. You will know what we liked about a deal and what questions we asked before presenting it to investors.
You read everything before you decide anything
You receive the full Private Placement Memorandum, the property financials, the tenant background, and the loan structure. Daniel Marx, CCIM, and our asset management team will sit with you and go through any part of it line by line. We also encourage you to bring your own accountant and attorney into the conversation before committing. A decision of this size deserves that level of care, and we build our process around giving you the time and information to make it well.
We stay involved after you close
Closing is not where our relationship with you ends. Michael Kraft, our licensed CPA and Chief Financial Officer, oversees all investor reporting and distribution from that point forward. Daniel Marx and our asset management team actively monitor every asset in the portfolio throughout the holding period. If something changes at the property level, you hear about it from us directly and promptly.
Watch before you invest
Our video library gives investors a direct look at the assets behind our offerings, the tenants operating inside them, and the progress of developments we have financed and built ourselves. For an accredited investor placing capital into a passive structure, this is as close as we can get you to being there in person.
A portfolio of assets we built and stood behind
After more than a decade in commercial real estate, we keep coming back to the same three asset classes. They deliver what our investors are actually looking for. Stable income, tenants who are committed to staying, and a structure that works for someone who wants to own real estate without managing it. All investment offerings are structured through Emerson Equity LLC, Member FINRA and SIPC.
Industrial &
manufacturing
Our industrial portfolio includes the Manufacturing Essential Asset DST in Harvard, Illinois and the Manufacturing Essential Asset II DST in Honea Path, South Carolina. Both are long-term triple-net leased facilities with tenants whose continued operation is tied to government contracts, delivering stable, predictable income for passive investors.
Hospitality &
mixed use
Our hospitality portfolio includes the Westin in Tempe, the Delta by Marriott in Las Vegas, a Kimpton-anchored development in Reno, and the Reno City Center redevelopment. Our team was involved in every one of these from financing through opening day, which means when we evaluate a hospitality asset for investors, we are drawing on direct experience building that asset class from scratch.
Net lease &
retail
Our net-lease portfolio includes Chick-fil-A in Las Vegas, Starbucks in Reno, Del Taco locations across Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, and the Cabela’s anchored Kansas City DST. These are national brands on long-term triple-net leases where the tenant manages the business and pays rent on a defined schedule. Several have already been realized and returned proceeds to investors.
