SFA’s acquisition focus will target assets that fall within three specific categories: core, core-plus and value-added.

SFA's Acquisition Focus

Core: 
Lower risk & return strategy, core real estate represents high quality, stable assets with consistent and growing cash flow over a 5 - 10 year time horizon.

Core-Plus:
Moderate risk & return strategy, core properties will require some form of enhancement or value-added elements.

Value-Added:
Slightly higher risk & return strategy, properties are considered value-added when they exhibit management or operational problems, require physical improvement and/or suffer from capital constraints.

Calculated Exit Strategy

From the onset, we calculate sound exit strategies.

Understanding the importance of the exit strategy to any investment, we evaluate the likelihood that the asset will be liquidated and capital returned to investors within the targeted time-frame.

Strategies include both the sale of the asset to another ownership group or longterm financing secured by current ownership.
