West 1 Equity does not acquire any property in the retail market. We maintain our strict buying criteria when conducting our acquisitions. We prefer properties that do not have competition and are beyond the skill-sets of our competition, in turn we are afforded larger margins. We leverage our knowledge and experience when purchasing heavily destressed acquisitions. When we do engage in the purchase we believe that negotiation is an art. We believe that our profits are made at the purchase of a property not upon the sale of the property.

West 1 Equity stays with what we know works. The core team of West 1 Equity has the combined experience of a nearly a hundred years. The core team are experts in their relative fields. The knowledge and experience is evident from the very conversation.

West 1 Equity only purchases assets that are unavailable to the public. All our acquisitions are “off market”. We do this for several reasons. Moreover, we have enough leads on assets from our dedicated systems, personnel and internal lead generation practices. We have never purchased a property from the MLS and likely never will.

The nature of this business does not require a “top-heavy” business. While we operate with text book business practices we are a small and lean company. This affords us the ability to keep our costs low. A good deal on a property will sell quickly. Because we are a small business when we find a deal we are able to move quickly. Being a small and lean company allows us to leverage time.

Our boots are on the ground. This is a massive and often over looked responsibility for many of our competitors. We believe that every property that utilizes investor money should be inspected firsthand. This helps us in several ways but, we firmly believe until the property is inspected problems can and likely will be unseen. Moreover, conducting our site inspection helps us us mitigate risk to our investments and our investors alike.
