Real estate

Real estate in every form: property, land and loans

We are agnostic about the form real estate takes. Over two decades, companies managed by Joe Robert have bought non-performing mortgage loans, office, retail and mixed-use buildings, homes and land, from North Carolina to Puerto Rico.

  1. Acquire

    We buy from banks, funds and private owners, one property or a portfolio of hundreds of loans, and underwrite every asset on its own.

  2. Improve

    We work out loans with borrowers, entitle land, build or renovate, and manage each asset until it is ready for its next use.

  3. Hold or sell

    We hold assets for income or sell when the timing is right, and put the proceeds into new acquisitions.

Joe Robert’s deal history

Bought since 2001. Building today

Current focus - Outer Banks, NC.

Building where the land runs out

In Dare County, buildable land is limited by the Atlantic Ocean and the sounds. We buy lots, build homes, and hold or sell them. It is one market we know well, not the only one we buy in.

The digital economy

Investing in the innovation behind digital assets and AI

Money, ownership and information are moving onto new rails. We take a patient, long-term view.

  • A long-term digital reserve

    Bitcoin held on our balance sheet, not traded.

  • Real-world assets on new rails

    We follow property and loans moving onto blockchain networks.

  • AI in how we work

    AI across research, underwriting and reporting.

How we invest

Four rules behind every purchase

  1. Founder-led

    Joe Robert leads our acquisition decisions personally, drawing on 25 years of investing experience.

  2. Long horizons

    We buy assets we are prepared to hold for years, not quarters.

  3. Asset by asset

    We underwrite each property and each loan on its own, and walk away from deals that do not fit.

  4. Real and digital

    Real estate and digital assets play different roles. Holding both reflects our view of where value is going.
