American Realty Advisors: Investment Philosophy

American's investment philosophy is predicated on three fundamental principles to control risk, maximize opportunity, and capture value in every loan and equity investment:

1) Value can be maximized through diligent oversight and strong internal controls.
American captures value by proactively managing each asset to ensure that its customized investment strategy is implemented effectively. American's investment committee and portfolio managers are involved actively in the implementation of the investment strategy in order to maximize revenue and control operating and capital expenses throughout the investments' holding period.

2) Risk can be controlled through meticulous due diligence and research.
American controls risk by basing investment decisions on an in-depth analysis of both the market and the operational factors that will affect the performance of each asset. By analyzing all factors that affect each asset, American creates and implements a more effective investment strategy.

3) Investment opportunities exist in all market cycles.
Real estate markets are inefficient and cyclical, which creates investment opportunities in all phases of the market cycle. The firm's seasoned professionals have proven their competence through all market cycles and can identify opportunities and strategies appropriate for the current market conditions.

American prides itself on its consistent application of the investment decision making process without being swayed by short-lived industry fads.
