Investments

Smartland® helps you cope with every issue, big or small, related to property investing.

We present you with real estate investment property opportunities that are currently available in the market and help you seize them by studying your portfolio and connecting you with lenders.

Our strongest suit is turnkey property investments, but we also have core operational expertise – that is, strategic counsel that spans the whole commercial realm, touching on things like real estate companies, analysis of real estate stock market performance, asset optimization and value tracking, and independent research of each asset that we offer.


Alternative investment strategies

We help you understand that a real estate investment property is an effective, alternative investment that you can add to your retirement portfolio.

We use a multi-strategy investment process that centers around a deep understanding of real estate trends, making sure we diversify our target assets or recommended portfolio to achieve superior returns with low volatility.

We aim to deliver a long-term annual return in the double digits, capturing favorable upward market trends in real estate equity and generating long-term performance with lower volatility.

Our clients count on us to provide actionable advice in rising or falling markets, and we take that trust seriously.

Our proprietary tools constantly monitor market conditions to ensure prompt asset allocation, maintain original investments or build upon them and outperform the broader real estate benchmarks.


Transactional guidance

We work with you on various types of transactions, focusing on Northeast Ohio, providing strategic recommendations and ensuring that the decision-making process is objective and unbiased.

Our goal is clear: make you, our customer, succeed. We tap into our expansive network of title companies, contractors, lawyers, appraisers, surveyors, and property brokers to ensure a prompt and complete transaction.

These specialists, whom we have cultivated for several years, provide tactical transactional suggestions and make sure only strategies involving clear commitment from all parties are kept in the end.

In one sentence: We guide you from the beginning of the process until the end.
