Investment Philosophy
Our mission is to ensure risk averse investment opportunities to our partners, delivering strong cash flow and long-term appreciation of the real estate, while preserving capital. Through carefully designed strategies and excellent execution, Emma Capital has crafted its acquisition approach to ensure that this goal is met.
We prospect a huge number of investment opportunities and adhere to a stringent acquisition process. We only complete acquisitions that don’t require capital gains to deliver attractive returns to investors. While capital gains will obviously improve the financial performance of our transactions, our deals are characterized by strong, regular cash flow, distributed monthly. The principals of Emma Capital invest in every transaction.
Emma Capital will consistently employ the following methods to ensure appropriate risk-mitigation and to maximize returns:

In the selection process we employ diligent research including:
