We buy to hold. Because we intend to own it for a long time, structure matters more to us than finishes. Solid bones, and a house that needs work.

Geography

Where we buy

Businesses within about an hour of Pittsburgh, across western Pennsylvania and into eastern Ohio.

If you are just outside that and the business is right, send it anyway. We would rather say no ourselves than miss something good.

Pre-qualified

We hold an SBA 7(a) pre-qualification, and property is funded with private capital. Financing is arranged before we ever make an offer, not after.

What we pass on
