Did you know you can invest with your IRA?
Most people have no idea they can use their retirement money located in there Roth or Traditional IRA account. The Problem is many traditional brokers do not allow this type of investment. Luckily for you, we have wonderful relationships with many Self-Directed IRA Fiduciary’s, where you can transfer money from your IRA into a qualified account and use that money to invest in Real Estate.
Our unique approach
It’s about taking care of our capital
What we do?
At the core of our business model, our primary focus is to identify potential cash flowing multi-family assets with all the right fixable problems. We partner with Investor Capital and Bank Debt to arrive at a capital stack that meets our conservative underwriting. Utilizing Operations, we formulate a plan to increase occupancy and rent growth by eliminating deferred maintenance and bringing the property to its peak condition. With our 5 year time horizon, this allows us to maximize our profits and sell for top dollar.
Why work with us?
Experience = Cashflow
As a seasoned real estate investor, my team and I have thousands of hours mastering apartment investing. We train our team to pay attention to the little things at the property level that makes the most impact.
We simply do the work
We acquire multifamily assets in prime locations by extensively underwriting 95% of all assets in the markets we follow. This gives us great deal flow, allowing us to go after deals that meet our criteria. Using conservative underwriting and appreciation assumptions, we expect these opportunities to increase in the coming years.
Strong Emerging Markets
Our strategy is to patiently acquire, manage and operate multi-family assets which generate high yields and passive cash flows. We selectively position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities on the horizon. In addition, we only target strong employment centers with growth and stability trends.

Some facts about us
[/wt_section_headings]Frequently asked questions
What kind of properties do in you invest in?
We currently invest solely in multi-family apartment buildings one of the most recession proof segments of the Real Estate market. This is true particularly true as the United States population continues to grow. Even with continued advancements in online marketing (particularly Amazon) and “work from home” (which threatens the retail and office markets), people will always need residential solutions. Within this segment, we focus on B+ to C+ class multi-family properties yet prefer B class in A markets and C+ class in B markets. This strategy positions us in the segment of the market most shielded from ups and downs that come with economic cycles. We will also review distressed A class deals in markets with 1MM+ population.
What is an Accredited Investor?
To qualify as an accredited investor: a person must demonstrate an annual income of $200,000, or $300,000 for joint income, for the last two years with expectation of earning the same or higher income. Individuals must have earned income above the thresholds either alone or with a spouse over the last three years. Or A person is also considered an accredited investor if he has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his spouse excluding personal home.
Can I invest even if I am not accredited?
Unfortunately No, you must be an accredited investor to participate in our deals.
How does Kahuna Property Partners find its apartment deals?
We have relationships with the vast majority of commercial brokers in the Central and Southern United States. These brokers bring us deals often before they hit the open market. [We also occasionally engage in direct marketing campaigns and are constantly building relationships with banks to get access to their REO inventory.] Once presented with an opportunity our team underwrites every property to the highest standards. This eliminates any unfavorable or questionable properties. In 2016 the Kahuna team underwrote 726 -only a little more than 20 met our stringent standards.
How are the Kahuna Property Partners Investments Structured?
Great news! You will be limited liability owner of the property which comes with all the benefits like depreciation and cash flow. Meaning the property is owned by a “Property LLC” for which that property is the only asset (reduces liability). You in turn will be a direct shareholder in this “Property LLC” which allows for a direct flow-through of cash flow, depreciation. Furthermore, upon sale of the asset, you will realize long term capital gains… PLUS, you literally get to tell your friends you “own” an apartment complex, because you do!
What will my return on Investment be?
All Kahuna investments Private Placement Memorandums are based on individual properties. Every property is different and will offer different returns. Our current investors are currently realizing between 5%-8% preferred cash yield annually. The expectation is to double this return upon the sale or refinancing of the property. We project the overall investment life-cycle returns to be 10-16%.
Our returns consist of three parts:
Preferred Return from Cash Flow: Kahuna Investments will only select investments that it pays a minimum average annual preferred return of at least 5% (depending on individual property this could be higher). Returns are paid quarterly via direct deposit or by check. Our priority is to pay our investors before our sponsors. This protects you, the investor, and ensures we only select projects with strong cash flow outlook.
Profit Share: Upon a sale or refinance of a property our goal is to return 100% of the initial investment to each investor. Next, procedure calls for a 50/50 profit split between sponsors and investors, up to the point where investors doubled their annual return from the cash-flow.
