Generating Financial Growth through Partnerships You Can Trust

What We Do

JRE Capital is constantly combing through real estate listings, reaching out to our broker networks and talking directly to real estate owners in search of assets that possess exceptional fundamentals of Real Estate. We believe these properties are solid investments today, tomorrow, and into the future – even after we have disposed of it. With strong leases, creditworthy tenants and desirable locations, we seek properties that will withstand the test of time. Through our network of private investors, we raise the capital to acquire these assets and provide our investors a stable, risk-adjusted return on their investment.

How It Works

Each property that we consider goes through a rigorous due diligence process by our underwriting team, reviewing dozen of properties just to find ONE asset that will advance to the “next level.” After a target acquisition has been identified and a price has been agreed upon, JRE puts together and sends out a comprehensive Offering Memorandum to all of its potential investors. If you like the property and the timing is right for you, then invest at your discretion – no obligations!

Our Approach to Opportunities

Our investment philosophy is straightforward and reliable – properties must meet our standards before we consider them for an investment. Our investors know that we perform thorough due diligence on each property, its local market, the tenant mix and financial forecasting. We take a conservative approach to our new investments, with the goal of “under-promising and over-delivering.” By mitigating risk and budgeting conservatively, we strive to accomplish this goal!

Transparent Investments with High-Quality Support

Private equity investments can often lack transparency, but at JRE Capital we take a different approach. We add clarity to the traditional private equity model and encourage our investors to fully understand the risks and opportunities associated with each property. To ensure true transparency, we’ve partnered with Juniper Square, an industry-defining software company that provides our team with state-of-the-art communication and asset reporting to share with investors.

With access to our custom-built software platform, our investors are capable of viewing everything from their personal return metrics to closing documents and K1’s. At JRE Capital, we pride ourselves on providing investors with a partnership they can trust and the transparency they deserve.

Why Invest with JRE Capital

Diversified Returns
FIXED INCOME

• Cash flow from tenant is passed through to you on a monthly basis.
• Annualized return: Typically 7-11%

 
ASSET SALE
  • Our philosophy is to buy for the long term. When the price is right, and we decide to sell, those profits are passed through to you.
  • Internal Rate of Return (annualized returns): Typically 10-15%
Control

We don’t pool investments. Instead, you can hand pick which properties you would like to be involved with. Before you commit, we’ll share our comprehensive projections and risk assessment with you. Then you decide whether to invest.

Expertise

We know exactly how to properly evaluate prospective properties. Our deep industry know-how means we can properly assess risk and determine the right price point. Once we own a property, we are experts at maximizing the long-term value by investing in the property, in tenant relationships, and by monitoring real estate trends.

Strong Historical Returns

Our financial performance has been very strong. For a typical deal, our minimum annual return “ranges” between 7-12% on a current annual cash return basis. This steady income strongly outperforms various other investments- e.g. equities and bonds.

 

Acquisition Criteria

Net Lease Medical Properties

• Top 50 MSA’s
• Purchase Price between $3-25 Million
• Rental Growth in the initial lease term
• Tenant has large investment in property (no general medical office)

Donnie has been behind some of Baton Rouge's most successful developments, with a portfolio of investments stretching from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Pensacola, Florida. His passion for real estate and development is apparent, and those who work with Donnie enjoy the enthusiasm that has made him successful. In his nearly 25-year career, Donnie has developed and acquired over two million square feet of commercial, retail, office and multi-family property. Recognizing that every property, situation and client is different, Donnie sees that each new experience brings its own unique challenges, circumstances and advantages. When others skim the surface, he digs in. With creativity, dedication and diligent problem solving, Donnie is able to make his deals work. Many of his projects, like Southdowns Shopping Center, Perkins Road Hardware redevelopment, Drusilla Shopping Center, and Eastbank Shopping Center, have been diamond-in-the-rough properties that, once reenergized, have helped transform entire neighborhoods and streetscapes. Donnie has had several new development successes as well, including the 50,000 square-foot Perkins Palms mixed-use development and the 100-unit Elysian, a workforce housing complex designed to accommodate a wide array of mixed-income residents in Mid-City Baton Rouge. Over the past decade, Donnie has acquired over $170,000,000 in retail Shopping Centers through different partnership-structured syndications that encompass well over 1,000,000 square feet. Outside the office, Donnie is a valued community member who volunteers with a variety of local organizations.
