Institutional deals. Individual investors.

Edgar Melo Costa founded EMC Acquisitions on a simple idea: the stabilized, professionally managed real estate that pension funds and family offices hold should be open to everyday accredited investors too. Every acquisition has to earn its place twice, once for the income it pays now and again for the value it can build over the hold.

What we pursue

Five asset types, one discipline

Strategy

Two returns from every building

01 · Near-term income

Rent that arrives from day one

We favour stabilized assets with in-place tenants and dependable rent rolls, so distributions can start early in the hold instead of waiting on a sale.

02 · Long-term value

Value we create, not wait for

Renovation, better management and lease-up lift net operating income, and income is what sets a building's value. Refinancing can return capital before exit.

  • CapitalRefinance to return equity
  • ExitDisciplined, unforced timing
From sourcing to distributions

How an acquisition moves through EMC

Stage 1

Stage 2

Underwrite

Rent rolls, capital needs and financing modelled under base and downside cases.

Stage 3

Acquire & operate

We close, take over operations and execute the business plan.

Stage 4

Distribute & exit

Distributions through the hold, then proceeds at refinance or sale.
