Here is exactly what we buy.
We are a pre-qualified buyer with financing arranged in advance. If it fits the criteria below, send it over and we will tell you straight whether we are interested.
Businesses
| Revenue | $1M – $8M |
| SDE | $1M+ |
| Employees | 5 – 50 |
| Years in business | 10+ |
| Structure | SBA & seller financing |
| Management | Key team stays |
Sectors: home services, commercial services, industrial services, trucking & towing, manufacturing, distribution.
What we look for: a diversified customer base, no single client carrying the revenue, and a W-2 workforce. The test is simple. If one client left, the business keeps running.
Property
| Strategy | Buy and hold |
| Type | Single family & multifamily |
| Unit count | No upper limit |
| Construction | Solid brick only |
| Condition | Needs work |
| Bedrooms | 3+ |
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.
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-qualifiedWe 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.
Property neighborhoods
Pittsburgh
Highland Park, Lawrenceville, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Bloomfield, Friendship, Morningside, Regent Square, Polish Hill, Stanton Heights, Point Breeze, Oakland, East Liberty, Garfield, and the historic Northside.

What we pass onHouses fronting a main road, and anything already renovated and priced at retail. We are looking for solid brick that needs work, not a finished product.
