This allows the company to unlock the hidden potential in properties by fixing them up, filling them with great tenants, and managing them for increased financial performance. We have a proven history of delivering stable returns for our investor partners.

Passive Income Has Never Been This Easy

When your application to buy membership units in our fund gets accepted, you become part of an elite group of investors.

 

Since you will own part of the CIG Value Add Fund I company, you will get to participate in all the benefits that may come as a result as outlined in our private placement memorandum.

The investor level yield is projected to be in the 12-14% range, with almost half of that return coming in the form of a quarterly dividend. 

 

Our historic quarterly dividends have been very consistent and reliable and we have never missed a quarter of dividends.

Our Values
Technology

We developed a proprietary underwriting and marketing software. 

Generosity

We donate part of our profits to help people struggling with addiction. 

Risk Avoidance

We force appreciation with a value-add strategy which creates an equity cushion. 

Gratitude

We know where the true source of our blessings comes from. 

A Glimpse Of Our Portfolio

Our Why

Humans are not meant to retire. To retire means to be "taken out of service," and that is not natural to how God created us. The bible tells us that the latter days of our lives shall be better than our former days. We are meant to continue growing and providing more energy and support to our loved ones as we age, but sometimes our investments vehicles don't allow us to fully realize the potential we could leave on the world.

 

We set out on a mission to change all of that and provide an investment vehicle that is not only extremely reliable and time-tested, but allow people to invest directly with us keeping their returns as high as possible without taking on additional risk.

 

The goal should not be retirement, the goal should be freedom!

 

Financial freedom is a huge piece of the true freedom you likely seek, which is to impact the world and your loved ones in a deeper and more meaningful way.

 

We help other people achieve this freedom by providing quarterly distributions and by offering an investment vehicle that has hundreds of tenants in diverse markets, each of which has a local operator who knows the market and the tenants in a deep and meaningful way. We don't invest in random properties and manage them remotely - we believe this is a recipe for failure.

What do you know about passive investing in privately held real estate funds? Are you happy with what the world has been telling you is the clear path to retirement? Work 50 hours a week for 50 years to retire on 50% of your income?

 

The main limitation to the strategy your financial advisor has likely given you is that it relies solely on building up your net worth so that you can live off your net worth from the age you retire to when you meet your creator. What's worse is that they only offer you investments that they can make money off you from!

 

As morbid as this sounds, it's true. Prove me wrong. Call your financial advisor and tell them you are thinking about investing in a private real estate fund, and see how they react. They will likely deter you from it because they can't manage it at their firm.

 

If they did recommend it, that could cost them their career because most firms call this "selling away from the firm" and is highly discouraged, and in most cases it is prohibited.

And that's where our fund comes in.

 

Real estate has tremendous tax benefits and historically speaking - a steady, proven, long-term cash flow.

 

That cash flow is the key to financial freedom.

 

Our fund aims to help people diversify some of their portfolio away from the traditional publicly traded stock market through private commercial real estate holdings. There are many benefits of investing through our CIG Value-Add Fund.
