Hands-on location-led investment in overlooked assets
Querencia is a real estate investment company based in Austin, TX pursuing commercial properties locally where we can deliver hands-on, value-added returns to our investors.
Advantages we bring to every opportunity
Broad experience
Most lower-middle-market sponsors have experience limiting them to pursue one asset type. It helps them raise capital but ties their hands when their strategy falls out of favor, leaving them either chasing deals that no longer pencil, accepting lower returns, or sitting out of cycles entirely.
Our principal's experience spans transacting on > $600MM of properties and investing > $220MM into nearly every asset class, from multifamily to mobile home parks, shopping centers to industrial buildings, hotels to creative office, and across 10+ MSAs. Our depth of experience in a broad range of asset types and geographies allows us to form a thesis, identify and mitigate the real risks, and get ahead of capital. This enables us to bring our investors the best available opportunity at any point in the cycle.
Deal by deal
We offer investments on a deal-by-deal basis. Capital and risk are matched deliberately, allowing investors to see the asset, the structure, and the business plan before committing.
Structurally aligned
A lean team lets us build each deal around a performance-oriented structure. Most institutional sponsors carry large overhead requiring them to tack fees onto every service they offer, earning substantial economics before a single dollar is returned to investors.
We are built to earn the bulk of our compensation on the back-end, when our investors are thrilled to pay it.
