ABOUT RREI
We've Owned and Run
What We Invest In.
RREI was founded by people who have been on every side of the properties we invest in — as owners, operators, lenders and advisors. We've financed and owned hotels, capitalized and sold build-to-rent communities, managed credit funds and structured transactions across the capital stack. That experience shapes every decision we make.
Our Story
What We Saw
Over the years, we watched too many private real estate deals built on hope. Properties were bought with heavy borrowing and adjustable-rate loans, on the assumption that a buyer would always appear at the right price when it was time to sell. When interest rates rose or the market turned, many of those investors paid the price. At the same time, we saw owners of genuinely good properties — successful hotels, well-run medical buildings — being offered just two choices: sell and hand over a large share to taxes, or trade into another property they would have to manage all over again.
What We Built
RREI is built on the opposite discipline. We invest only in property that people need — healthcare, housing and hotels. We decide how each investment will end before we buy it. And we built a single, carefully designed structure — a debt-free trust, a market of motivated buyers, and an optional path into a larger fund — that we use in each of our businesses, while keeping each one separate. Wherever we can, we partner with the people who already run a property well rather than trying to replace them.
Where We're Going
We are building a platform meant to outlast any single deal: trusts that give investors a disciplined way into real estate, and sector REITs designed to hold properties for as long as they keep serving the people who use them — and the families who own them. We would rather earn trust slowly than borrow it from numbers that don't belong to us.
