Single Family Investment Opportunity

A natural extension of our multi-family business, Guardian Equity Homes, LLC (GEH) was founded to capitalize on the current downward slope of the single-family housing market.

GEH specializes in locating distressed single-family assets, renovating the properties to “like new” condition, and then selling the assets to a new homebuyer.  Our focus is on high-end homes that retail between $300,000 and $1,000,000 once rehabbed.  These projects have a turn-around time between four and nine months depending on the size of the rehab, which can run between $40,000 and $300,000.

Quite often get asked, “Why do you focus on high-end homes and not the low-end of the market?”   The reason is that the majority of the sales volume in the Houston market is in the high-end price range.  Because of the downward slope in the credit markets it is much more difficult for homebuyers, who do not have excellent credit and a substantial down payment, to qualify for loans.  In the higher-end price range, buyers tend to have both of these necessary requirements.  In fact, it isn’t uncommon for them to pay all-cash and bypass the banks all together.   In addition, we have found that the profit margins are higher, which helps mitigate risk.

The President of GEH, Bryan Upton, takes the time to meet and get to know every suitable individual that is interested in learning more about specific areas within the Guardian Equity Companies.  Those that meet with Mr. Upton find that he is just as knowledgeable about the multi-family market as he is the single-family market.  For that reason it’s no coincidence he is the Executive Vice President of Guardian Equity Management, LLC, which is the multifamily division of the Guardian Equity Companies.  Mr. Upton is also a licensed Real Estate Broker and is the Treasurer and Broker of Record for our Realty division, Guardian Equity Realty, LLC.
