Our Investment Approach
Transcendent seeks to capitalize on the total opportunity spectrum by being real estate opportunists when the market is dropping, and long-term holders when the cycle moves upward. The company employs a flexible approach to sourcing and structuring real estate-related investments across a range of geographies and asset classes, including investments in securities, direct lending, partnerships and joint ventures.

In general, Transcendent Investments focuses on untapped opportunities in less efficiently priced corners of the national market where the potential for substantial risk-adjusted returns persists whether in debt, equity, lien structured products or physical assets themselves. Transcendent does not simply look to purchase assets at fire-sale prices and hold them for recovery. Instead, the company’s investment positions take advantage of well-defined opportunities with limited downside risk within market niches that play to the strengths of its management team. In all cases, Transcendent seeks out investments that are socially responsible as well as profitable, adding value to neighborhoods and communities as well as to its stakeholders.

Real Estate Strategy
Transcendent follows the following strategy to making real estate investments: Asset identification – determining which properties have the greatest potential to increase in value. Asset preservation –working with lenders, homeowner associations and other stakeholders to stabilize the asset Asset valuation – evaluating competitive properties to make strategic pricing decisions Asset disposition – determining an exit strategy and estimated timetable at an early stage in the acquisition process Through this strategy, Transcendent has compiled an excellent record of performance in the real estate investment sector.
