We coordinate environmental, tax and legal advice, using local resources with international experience. In short we provide a one-stop shop service.

Investment Philosophy

The first fundamental decission is wether the investment idea is yield driven or more capital appreciation orientated

Developing the right strategy for the way in and the way out again is key to any investment. The properties need to be selected for the investment period envisaged. The exit strategy has to be clear and the business plan developed accordingly. Whether sale as condominiums or a block of rented apartments, market knowledge of the respective markets is vital for the right purchase decision and the business plan. With the right partners at the starting point a successful and profitable exit after 3 to 7 years, depending on the strategy, is easily achievable.
