Our Story.
Investments that can produce exceptional income and solid capital growth are hard to find. At SJS Real Estate Partners, we’re delivering both to our investors from a diversified portfolio of apartment properties. Founded in 2015, our combined holdings include investments in 66 multi-family rental properties with 8,765 units acquired for more than $450 million, and over the next two years, we anticipate an additional 35+ properties with an estimated 5,000 more units.
Our Mission.
At SJS, our mission is to build wealth for our investors by; (1) delivering exceptional income from the properties every quarter; and (2), delivering significant long-term capital growth as equity builds and value is added to the properties. The results have been remarkable.
History.
SJS Real Estate Partners, LLC
Launched in June 2015, SJS I is invested in 4 multi-family rental properties with 341 apartment units acquired for $17.3 million. Beginning with Q4 2015, SJS I has been paying investors distributions of income from the properties every quarter since, delivering strong cash on cash returns. In addition to the quarterly income, there’s significant equity across all 4 properties from a combination of increased valuations and paying down principle on the loans. And the best news is the value of 3 of the properties increased so much, that they’ve already been successfully refinanced to pull some of the equity out and return capital back to investors early.
SJS Real Estate Partners II, LLC
To continue the momentum on a larger scale, SJS II was launched in March 2016, and is invested in 10 mutli-family rental properties with 1,347 apartment units acquired for $60 million. SJS II started paying investors distributions of income as early as Q2 2016, and has been doing so every quarter since then. On top of the income being distributed, the value of certain properties have appreciated so dramatically, that 4 of the properties have already been refinanced to return capital back to investors early, just like SJS I.
SJS Real Estate Partners III, LLC
With a proven record of success, we launched SJS III in January 2017, and began paying investors quarterly distributions of income from the properties as they were being acquired. By January 2018, SJS III was fully invested in 21 apartment properties totaling 2,651 units purchased for over $120 million. In addition to the steady income being distributed to investors every quarter, the value of some properties appreciated so much in their first year, that 4 of the properties have already been successfully refinanced to return capital back to investors early just like SJS I and SJS II.
SJS Real Estate Partners IV, LLC
Launched in January 2018, SJS IV is invested in 30 multi-family rental properties acquired for $257 million, including a new 128-unit development project that’s expected to be completed in June 2020 and will bring the total to 4,427 apartment units. It took nearly 24 months to acquire all the properties, however SJS IV began paying investors distributions of income as properties were being acquired starting with Q2 2018, and has continued to do so every quarter since then. In addition to the quarterly income, the value of first property increased so rapidly that it was able to be refinanced just after 12 months of being purchased, enabling SJS IV to begin returning capital back to investors early just like our first three funds, with more expected going forward.
SJS Real Estate Partners V, LLC
All the success culminated with the recent release of SJS V, which will be our largest and most diversified fund yet. When completed, we anticipate approximately 35 more properties will be acquired with an estimated 5,000 apartment units. Perhaps the best testament to overall performance and how happy investors are is when they repeatedly want to invest more. When we launched SJS III and SJS IV, the vast majority of units were taken by prior investors, which left very little for others. The same thing is happening with SJS V, so be sure to get all the information before SJS V is fully subscribed.
Management – Stewart Wilson, CEO
Mr. Wilson has a long family history in real estate that dates back over 90 years. Beginning with his grandfather Sidney who started in the 1920’s, and his father James who began in the 1950’s, Stewart’s goal has been to carry forward that over 90 year tradition of success for all his partners – thus the name “SJS”.
Mr. Wilson has been an executive in the investment business for over 37 years, beginning as an active member of the futures industry in 1982. Within a few years, he founded his own firm, Strauss & Company, Inc., a full service brokerage firm providing investors and traders worldwide with access to a wide range of markets and alternative investments traded on major exchanges in the United States and Europe. Through several acquisitions and mergers over the years, Mr. Wilson grew the company into what became known as Ironrock Financial to customers across the nation. To serve those customers even better, Mr. Wilson began targeting specific investment opportunities in real estate following the financial crisis, leading to the timely launch of SJS Real Estate Partners in 2015. Since then, SJS has become the focus of Mr. Wilson’s investment business with investments in 66 apartment properties totaling 8,637 units acquired for more than $450 million, and expecting to invest in another 35+ properties and 5,000 more units with SJS V,
During that same time, Mr. Wilson was asked to take over as CEO of NoHo Software in March 2017, the leading developer and provider of software products to agencies that administer subsidized childcare in the State of California. Mr. Wilson grew the company by a record 50% in his first two years, and with so much of his time already focused on managing and growing SJS, Mr. Wilson elected to spin off his interest in Ironrock, which was successfully completed in 2019.
By combining his over 37 years of knowledge and investment experience in global financial markets with his deep family roots in real estate dating back over 90 years, Mr. Wilson brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and commitment to SJS Real Estate Partners that is rarely found.
