Our Value Creation Strategy

  • Deploy our acquisition model to buy below intrinsic value, minimizing investment risk upfront. 
    Establish a new foundation for each property on which to deploy our expertise in rebuilding value.

  • Utilize our in-house leasing and construction expertise to drive post-acquisition value via
    property improvements, addressing deferred maintenance issues, and attracting new tenants.

  • Once a property is stabilized and a new NOI baseline established, utilize senior bank debt on attractive terms to repay some or all of our upfront investment, maximizing returns to equity.

  • Unlike most of the parties we buy from, we thoughtfully consider disposition opportunities
    once we execute our plan for each property.

  • Target Market

    🔘 Commercial properties < $20M in value (too small for REIT’s, too large for individuals) 

    🔘 Concentration in Class B/C retail and industrial (non-office) (a)

  • Team

    🔘 35+ team members in Chicago and Los Angeles supported by back-office personnel in Bangalore, India

    🔘 In-house property management, sales & leasing, and construction management

  • Experience

    🔘 300+ properties acquired in 25+ states over 14 years(a)

  • Track Record

    🔘 20% net IRR to investors across 16 investment vehicles(b)


Mon Ami’s Recent Acquisition Model

Mon Ami exploits fundamental market inefficiencies inherent in its target niche to acquire properties below their intrinsic value, frequently at fractions of prices paid by previous owners.  Mon Ami does not invest in riskier ground-up development nor take speculative risk on “hot” areas.

    • Too small for REIT’s, too large for individuals

    • Concentration in class B/C retail and industrial with opportunistic purchases in other asset classes

    • Good properties saddled with poor capitalization and illiquidity

    • Abundant motivated sellers, banks, and intermediaries who value certainty, flexibility, and speed-to-close over price

    • Pay all-cash and close quickly

    • Crossover traditional asset silos and geographies that limit the flexibility of other investors

    • Utilize creative deal structures to meet sellers’ unique needs

    • Underwrite to include substantial margin for market, interest rate, and operational risks

    • Leverage our reputation as a value-buyer counterparty

(a) Mon Ami has historically invested across asset types throughout its history and across its investment vehicles.  Mon Ami Partners 3, LLC, launched in July 2024, will generally focus on investments in commercial properties as described above though it, and other Mon Ami funds, will continue to invest in deal sizes and asset classes based on market opportunity at Mon Ami’s discretion. 
(b) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Mon Ami investment vehicles is as of 12/31/2023, net of fund management fees and includes uninvested cash, unrealized investment gains based on projected valuations, and amounts distributed to investors.  All investment involves risk, including risk of loss. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.  Please see additional materials later in this presentation regarding estimated IRR calculations.
