Investment Criteria
Our investment strategy involves deals sized above what most individual investors can afford and below what most institutions are willing to fund, allowing us to capitalize on this market inefficiency. We seek true partnerships that leverage the knowledge and expertise of the parties involved.
Tactical investments with minimal risk
Generally, larger investment transactions require more effort to pursue and are significantly more competitive, driving down returns. We seek aggregation plays, where we gain efficiency by acquiring multiple deals of a similar type.
As the majority investor, CCM often provides up to 90 percent of the equity required in its transactions, using joint ventures with flexible return structures. We do not assume additional exposure, such as completion or loan guarantees. Ultimately, the goals of our investments are strong cash flow and solid returns, with reasonable risk. Patient in our deal flow and investment horizon, we typically hold each asset for an extended period.
