Our Story

We built this through the hardest time in our lives.

We built Eminent Estates through some of the most difficult seasons of our lives. Not in spite of the hardships. Through them. We’ve helped families facing foreclosure, divorce, inherited property nightmares, and situations most investors won’t touch. We’ve turned devastating challenges into unbelievable wins through faith, perseverance, and pure determination to exceed expectations.

Real estate is more than a house structure. It’s building families and communities.

Today we acquire and operate assisted living facilities, master lease portfolios, and creative finance deals across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our master leases place businesses, charities, and nonprofits into our properties for a cause. More secure, longer terms, less operationally taxing. Every property we touch becomes affordable housing through rent-by-the-room and rent-by-the-bed models.

We will be the catalyst for change in real estate by revolutionizing the way the industry does business and serves others.

Subject-to, seller financing, novation, lease-options. Deals structured for lower basis, stronger cash-on-cash, and protected downside.

Rent-by-the-Room + Rent-by-the-Bed

Every property in our portfolio becomes affordable housing. Co-living models that cash-flow for investors and create stable homes for residents.
