Accredited Investors

Veranda Fund 1 is our flagship investment vehicle designed exclusively for accredited investors seeking exposure to high-performing real estate assets. The fund focuses on two distinct strategies:

Student Rentals in New Orleans

Our student rental properties in New Orleans provide stable cash flow and strong appreciation potential. Located near major universities, these properties maintain high occupancy rates and deliver consistent returns.

  • Multi-unit properties near educational institutions
  • Strong rental demand throughout academic year
  • Professional property management
  • Value-add renovations to increase rental rates

Luxury Flips in Laguna Beach

Our luxury flip strategy targets undervalued properties in the prestigious Laguna Beach market. Through strategic renovations and expert design, we transform these properties to capture significant value appreciation.

  • High-end residential properties in premium locations
  • Comprehensive renovations to maximize value
  • Shorter investment timeline (typically 9-14 months)
  • Higher potential returns with managed risk

By combining these two strategies, Veranda Fund 1 offers a balanced approach to real estate investing, providing both steady income and appreciation potential while diversifying across different markets and property types.
