It’s been a pleasure to learn and grow with SIH Capital. Denis does a great job of explaining the details of the investment so a novice investor like myself can make an informed decision. Looking forward to working together with SIH more in the future!

I'm new to the real-estate investment space. I consider myself lucky to have found SIH early on. SIH has been phenomenal with presenting and executing the business plan of deals, having an honest and conservative approach along the way. I am always in the loop with updates on my investments. I have no issues getting my questions answered either. It has been an absolute pleasure to invest with Denis and SIH and I would do it again. Thank you!

I've known the founders for 15 years, have purchased mortgage notes from them and am an investor in the Reliance Fund. The founders are reliable, astute businessmen and just generally very nice people. I believe they've put a good team in place and the company has consistently made interest payments as promised. I have recommended PPR Capital Management to other investors.

I invested with Touro on a multi-family value add deal in Dallas in June 2022. Bad timing, I know. I believe Touro has been doing a good job navigating a difficult market. They are very diligent about sending a monthly investment update that clearly outlines all the major numbers including occupancy, rents, and units upgraded. The property has been struggling with higher vacancy than expected. That has prevented them from raising rents as much as they had projected. They have been working hard to fill vacancies with better PM and marketing. One area that was handled well was interest rate changes. The team had an interest rate cap in place and was able to weather the touch interest rate environment without getting liquidated. They also had a plan in place to be flexible on when they sold. This should allow them to continue operating the property profitably for a few more years if needed until they can get a good exit cap rate and make sure the property is fully leased. Summary: This investment is likely performing poorly due to interest rate and market rent factors, but the sponsor mitigated the major risks that could have liquidated the investment and has communicated well through a tough environment.

My wife and I have invested with them for about a year now, but have known them for 2-3 years. I got to really know them through a Mastermind group we were apart of. We have done 3 investments with them. We like them because it is easy to do business with them. They have a new investor portal that makes it convenient to see investments in real time. They also have a helpful and knowledgeable investor relations department and staff. Another thing we like is that they have a few different options to invest in. Their Reliant Income fund has terms of 6mo, 12mo, & 36mo at different interest rates accordingly. Their returns have met our expectations and have always been on time. We did a 6mo investment with them and wanted a redemption after the 6 months was up and it was given back to us in full. They do have 90 day redemption period, meaning you have to contact them 90 days before you want your money returned.They also offer a car wash investment that is more of an equity long-term play as well with good returns. I haven't invested in that yet. Good company with a good track record, longevity, and large asset base to back them up. I would and have invested with them multiple times.

I have invested with Denis in two separate deals, and I hope to invest again in the future. He spent time getting to know me, and he has never tried to sell me an investment that doesn't align with my goals. His underwriting is conservative and extremely detail oriented; and he is transparent about both risks and potential upside. Denis provides regular updates, and he is quick to respond to questions.

Very pleased with SIH so far. I have been talking to their team for years. Denis is phenomenal, never hard sold anything, leaned on education and relationship building. His deals are conservative and I appreciate their communication more than anything. This team does not play things fast and loose like many in the syndication space. I want to increase my allocation to SIH over time.

I met Denis a few years ago, and from our very first conversation, his integrity and genuine commitment to helping me achieve my investment goals were unmistakable. It was clear I had encountered someone truly unique in the private equity space. I’ve been investing with SIH Capital for several years now. While not every investment has been perfect—because no investment journey is—it’s the way SIH handles challenges that sets them apart. Their transparency when things don’t go as planned, coupled with their creativity and tenacity to resolve issues, has consistently reinforced my trust in them. One story in particular highlights their integrity. SIH presented an investment opportunity I was eager to participate in, but after discussing it with their team, they advised me not to invest because it didn’t align with my goals or portfolio. Think about that—what private equity firm turns down money for a deal? They reassured me that they’d find an opportunity better suited to my objectives, and they delivered on that promise.

I invested with Dovehill as one of my first syndication investments. Their communication and updates have been excellent! They provide great updates on not only the property but others in the area including a star report which shows how the property benchmarks compared to others in the area. They provide clear communication on how their business plan is going and if anything has changed since the last quarter.

I've known one of the principals for many years through RE investing and conferences. I am more of a passive investor now and I can trust PPR. I am confident in PPR's ability to deliver, they have built the infrastructure over time to support what they do. Payments come on time and they are always available to answer questions.

I have known Denis for several years and have invested in multiple deals with SIH Capital. They are extremely detail-oriented, organized, and innovative. I was looking for investments that were not correlated to our other holdings, which were concentrated in traditional stocks and real estate. The communication and clarity both before the investment and after is top-notch and substantially better than other big-name private equity investments we have.

There was a time when Kenny Wolfe was charismatic and seemed incredibly knowledgeable. The investment we made with him has been a disaster. He managed the property incredibly poorly, and eventually a large LP had to step in and take over control of the deal. They found ignored major repairs (such as leaks and water damage), bad bookkeeping, high crime rates, and an occupancy rate under 50%. Wolfe did a capital call - and squandered the money without turning the deal around. We'll be lucky if we get our money back on the deal.

I've invested with TJ for over a year at this point. I can't say enough about his attention to detail and communication month over month. He gets into the nitty gritty and really cares about keeping his investors educated. He's always transparent and that goes a long way as an investor. Highly recommend having a call with TJ and seeing this first hand.

Poor experience with Latigo so far. I am in Noble Vines/Hadley in Cape Coral. Poor execution. Keep calling for more capital calls but no explanation as to what they hope to accomplish with the additional capital or if sinking more money in will get the project to a better place. Just recieved an email if we don't contribute another 1.5 million in the next week the loan will default.... but no other communication if they are buying a rate cap, refinancing or....? Not impressed with communication or execution so far...

Best case scenario, Daryl Heller is a shady sponsor who after years of paying distributions, made a some last minute shady moves in an attempt to enrich himself at the expense of investors. Worst case, it was a Ponzi scheme all along. Investors are suing him now and he is supposedly settling. We shall see if investors actually get paid. Apparently there are multiple lawsuits in various jurisdictions and he is being investigated by the SEC as well as other regulators.

I invested in the ATM Prestige investment through Asym Capital, and the investment has had some challenges and I'm concerned that I will not get my investment back. I'm not sure if Asym is involved with the deal any more or if they just brought capital on the front end, but I've not heard from Asym Capital for months regarding this investment now that it is in litigation. It could be possible that Asym just raised the capital, but my expectation has been that I would hear from them directly versus the fund that Asym must have been feeder fund for.

ODC has exceeded our expectations with professional and timely communication. We were very impressed that they delivered our K-1 on-time and surpassed the tax benefits we anticipated. Returns to-date as well as ongoing response after we invested have also eclipsed expectations. Overall, ODC has made it an easy and exciting experience to watch our investments grow in a new way.

Invested in the Sunbelt Fund so have nothing good to report with essentially no distributions since investing a few years ago. Seems the operators including Brandon are more interested in marketing new projects instead of making sure existing struggling projects are operating well. Not sure where their preferred returns investors came from but will see if their able to turn the ship around on this fund and at least return our original investment. For all you new investors this is the type of email they presented AS THEY WERE MARKETING NEW FUNDS on social and their websites. In addition, we’ve seen a 20%+ surge in material and labor costs associated with both CapEx and regular unit turns. These multiple compounding factors have dramatically impacted the performance of SDP, causing a significant strain on cash flow and our ability to continue completing our targeted level of interior rehabs to maximize the ROI on our unit turns. Our Options My team and I have been working closely with Disrupt Equity over the past few months on a plan and have now identified what we believe is the best path forward. The good news is that our current loan term doesn’t end until June - September 2025 (depending on the property), so we won’t need to refinance until later next year. Having said that, we're left with a couple of options: Option #1 – sell the asset immediately at the most inopportune time. Accounting for the current headwinds mentioned above, we would estimate a disposition price of around $80M-$84M, translating to a 53-62% loss of original equity. Option #2 – Obtain ~$3M of additional equity to extend the property’s runway and allow for the full execution of our business plan going into a refinance. This would also provide us more time for the markets to adjust and alleviate some of the headwinds mentioned above. Note that this equity is the minimum required to cover our operational shortfalls and business plan to carry us to a refinance. Depending on market conditions at the time of refinance, there is a chance that additional preferred equity may be required for a cash-in refinance. This is wholly dependent on the market in 2025, which we’re hopeful will improve relative to the last couple of years.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Open Door Capital (ODC) as an investor in Fund 11. From the very beginning, the investor relations manager has been incredibly responsive, addressing all my queries promptly and thoroughly. This level of communication has been a breath of fresh air and has made the entire investment process smooth and reassuring. In just a few months, Fund 11 has already outperformed my expectations. The returns have been impressive, and it’s clear that ODC’s strategic approach is paying off. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was how transparently ODC communicated their decision not to move forward with one of the assets in the fund. They provided clear reasoning and allocated the funds wisely, ensuring that our investments remained secure and profitable. Given my positive experience, I am confident that I will continue to invest with ODC in the future. Their professionalism, transparency, and impressive performance make them a standout in the investment world. Highly recommended!

Invested in two projects with Holdfolio. I believe both investments will be successful, but there have been some issues: One new build storage project was supposed to take 10 months for construction. Two years later and construction has NOT BEGUN! If I had more money invested, I'd be throwing a fit lol. The only explanation is that interest rates are unexpectedly high. The folks that work at holdfolio are often clueless. They feel like fundraisers right out of college who have never owned real estate themselves. I will say, they are nice and not overly pushy, which is a big positive for me. But, clueless when it actually comes to real estate. I invested with them because I connected directly with the operators. The second project is performing and cash flowing somewhat under expectations, but is otherwise a solid stabilized investment.

Communication is great. Emails and calls are immediately answered. Performance of the funds and one off investments have been subpar. Multiple investments have not generated cash flow for multiple years despite expectations of cash flow within 1 year. Some serious concern that expenses and repairs are not managed properly and should be much less. Overall, most of the assets have appreciated in value and I expect all of the investments to be winners in the long term.

Positive experience with Aspen. I like that they are a public facing company. Reporting is adequate, timely and complete. They don't go above and beyond with quarterly updates, hence the 4 starts, but otherwise are responsive, etc. My biggest complaint is that they prioritize larger investors. For example, if an investor has 1M to invest, they will receive a return of 10% vs 8% at a 100k investment amount. I personally don't ethically like tiers that reward larger investors and this has deterred me from a few of their investments. Will be placing more capital with them in the future.
