Elwood Investments
Elwood is an operator of real estate holdings in Northern California. Elwood and its affiliates own and manage over 15 properties with an approximate market value of $40,000,000. These properties were acquired and developed over the past ten years and are exemplary of the types of California real estate that continue to show excellent long-term appreciation, while also providing a hedge against down economies.
Elwood takes on management intensive projects purchasing real estate that has been undervalued due to poor management and maintenance. Due to our long-standing relationships and our reputation of closing deals, we see opportunities that others do not. Our goals continue to be cash preservation, solid annual returns and long term growth; while remaining committed to providing returns to our investors through the acquisition, improvement, management and growth of a portfolio.
With extensive experience in negotiation, acquisition, disposition, leasing, development and management of real estate, Elwood is currently creating partnerships that target moderate cash-on-cash returns, with strong potential for long-term appreciation. It is important to note that Elwood is always cautious with cash-reserves and concerned with the potential down-side of any deal, no matter the state of the economy.
