About Us
Our Story
Founded in 2017 with the acquisition of residential properties in Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, Iron Capital focuses on value-add multifamily investments. We specialize in leveraging entitlements, variances, and in-house construction to transform under-utilized assets into stabilized, high-yielding properties.
Over time, we have repeatedly executed this model, achieving an average of approximately 14% cash-on-cash return and a 3× equity multiple over a typical holding period of five years. Importantly, our portfolio—including our Catskill project—is 100% owned and operated, with no externally raised investor equity
Our Business Model
Our strategy is grounded in long-term ownership: acquire, improve, refinance, and operate — rather than the typical short-term flip model.
We target value-add assets that may be cash-flow negative at acquisition but present substantial upside through physical improvement and operational optimization. Our guiding principle: ‘You make your money on the buy.’
With dedicated in-house construction and property-management teams, we deliver cost-efficient execution — achieving construction savings of 25-30% and reducing operating expenses by an additional 8-10% relative to third-party managed buildings
How We Approach Buildings
We take a long-term ownership approach — we don’t buy to turn over. Because we stay invested, we prioritize:
- Materials that age well
- Clean, functional layouts
- Energy-efficient systems
- Quiet, comfortable living environments
- Maintenance decisions that make sense over decades
Our goal is simple: Buildings we will still be proud of in 20+ years.

Forced Appreciation & Diversification
Unlike publicly traded equities, real estate allows investors to increase value through operational improvements (i.e., increasing Net Operating Income). Additionally, real-estate holdings provide a tangible, inflation-hedged asset class that diversifies portfolios away from traditional stocks.
