About Us

Kipling Partners and its Affiliates have earned a track record of investing in real estate transactions that have resulted in superior annual cash flow returns. We have achieved these results by acting quickly as opportunities arise, working diligently to close transactions, being flexible and creative, and performing at the highest levels. As a result, our record of accomplishment and reputation in the real estate industry continues to generate many superior investment opportunities for us to pursue.

After many years of experience and making contacts in the real estate industry, Kipling Partners has established an extensive network of strong relationships with experienced real estate professionals. This network has created access to opportunities that exist only in the inefficient portions of the marketplace (often called "off-market" transactions).

Kipling Partners and its Affiliates have achieved its superior real estate investment results by following a prudent approach, and striving to achieve the following goals:

  •  
  • Invest in properties located in growth markets that produce average tax-deferred cash flows.

  •  
  • Always co-invest along with our investors.

  •  
  • Use standard depreciation, enabling a significant portion of the cash flow from investments to be tax-deferred. As an example, an 8% cash flow on a properly structured real estate investment for a California investor in the 44% combined State and Federal tax bracket is equivalent to an approximately 14% pre-tax return.

  •  
  • Utilize tax-efficient capital events, such as refinancing of a property, when appropriate, to return our investors' capital with no tax liability, rather than a tax-inefficient approach such as selling a property and causing capital gains taxes to be paid. Refinancing also reduces the overall transaction costs, and enables our investors to continue to hold a property after all of their equity has been returned through refinancing.

  •  
  • Opportunistically acquire "core" stabilized properties that produce good immediate cash flows, and which are likely to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

  •  
  • Acquire properties that require repositioning; stabilized operations after completion of the enhancements are expected to generate tax-deferred yields and immediate value appreciation.

  •  
  • On a case-by-case basis, joint venture with established joint venture partners who possess specialized local knowledge, have significant expertise and capabilities, and a track record of success; all joint venture partners will co-invest with Kipling Partners.
