At EquiTrust, we are driven by our passion for real estate. No deal is too complex to close thanks to our dedication to crafting creative solutions. While other investors see distressed properties and non-performing debt as trouble, we see them as a source of value that has yet to be realized and maximized. To find these diamonds in the rough and polish them into gems, we’ve organized our operations into different divisions.
EquiTrust Real Estate Acquisitions is focused on acquiring distressed commercial and residential real estate from foreclosure auctions, financial institutions, and distressed property owners. While such properties face challenges that make them less desirable or marketable at first glance, we pride ourselves in recognizing their value and formulating the creative solutions necessary to close the complex deals to acquire them. Our substantial, privately funded cash reserves also mean that we can make an offer and close these deals within 1 to 2 days.
EquiTrust Development is responsible for making investments in commercial and residential real estate development projects. This division enjoys an established track record of successfully developing and redeveloping multiple projects in the greater Houston area, including retail buildings and single and multi-family homes.
