 our Commitment 

ACARA™ helps clients create and preserve generational wealth through real estate ownership. This starts by identifying our clients’ goals and objectives and then brings together our collective knowledge and experience to help achieve them.

Our holistic approach to real estate ownership makes us relationship driven, not transactional. Our vertical and horizontal integration creates vantage points and investment opportunities unparalleled in the multifamily industry.

“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” 

 - Zig Ziglar 

 our Promise 

Our client driven approach here at ACARA™ allows us the privilege of working with some of the finest individuals, sponsors, and companies in the multifamily industry.

We welcome your phone calls and will always do whatever we can to help first, and then determine if there is a service that we are able to provide. Sometimes we will just share ideas and sometimes we will form lifelong relationships. We truly enjoy doing both and welcome your calls and emails.

our Services

for Owners  

Owners of multifamily assets have long been underserved by the traditional brokerage model. The one tool in the toolbox approach to investment sales or debt brokerage often serves the interest of the advisor, not the client. “If you are a hammer everything looks like a nail.” Our complete toolbox of owner services means that we look at the big picture to help clients accomplish their goals. Yes, we are very good at selling real estate and we often do just that. However, we always start with an overall assessment which includes things such as tax strategy and return on equity to present options and move toward the most optimal result.

We have found that clients often sell because they are simply tired of the hassle of ownership, need a capital event, want to dissolve a partnership, or have had a death in the family. The sale is then followed by a tax mitigation strategy such as finding a suitable 1031 exchange. This can result in selling good real estate to buy bad real estate all in the effort of accessing equity or creating more passive income. We understand how to help owners navigate tax and transactional strategies to achieve higher and more passive income. We call this the “life after landlord” approach.

If you own existing multifamily properties, or land suitable for multifamily development, we are here to help and offer no obligation consulting services. Don’t hesitate to reach out and let our expertise work for you.

“Our core investment strategy is direct investment, joint venture, vertically integrated and built to hold long term.” 

 - Todd Vitzthum 

for Investors  

Smart real estate investment is grounded in a few fundamental principles: consistently sourcing the best deals, structuring them for maximum efficiency and alignment of interests, and building the optimal capital stack. It’s that simple.

Throughout our careers, we have noticed a recurring issue among high net worth investors and family offices—they either lacked access to quality deal flow or faced an inadequate vetting process for direct investment opportunities. Additionally, by investing through conduits and institutional fund structures, much of the project’s upside was captured by intermediaries, disproportionately diluting returns and limiting investor control.

Our core investment strategy centers on direct investment, joint ventures, vertical integration, and long-term holdings. This approach is the culmination of our collective decades of experience and what we believe is the key to wealth creation through multifamily investments.

We are transparent about this strategy because perfecting it took years, and we understand that our true value lies in our established network, relationships, and execution capabilities.
