Jacques Marais
Hi, I'm Jacques Marais. If you're here, I probably sent you an email. Thanks for checking me out. You should. I'm looking for my first investment property in the DMV area.
How I look at deals
Before I look at a property, I pull the real rent comps and verify the neighborhood data down to the transit access and local zoning.
I focus primarily on multi-unit and multifamily properties. I need to see a clear, verifiable unit mix. I look for deals where the downside is protected. If a deal cannot survive a stress test on exit, like an operational shock or a rate spike, I pass. I am especially interested in value-add and overlooked situations. What matters most is a real opportunity in the DMV with a clear path to value.

Respect for your time
Because of how I underwrite, I can evaluate a property's viability very quickly. If a deal fits, I will say so. If it does not, I will tell you immediately. I would rather be direct than waste your time.
