We seek opportunities that offer strong growth potential while providing sufficient protection of principal. Once we find properties that fit our investment model, we negotiate the purchase and sale of the properties and secure both debt and equity capital to finance the purchase and/or development of those properties. We manage the properties with our affiliated property management company CWS Apartment Homes LLC because we believe that property management from within the investment company keeps the investor’s best interests at the forefront of our operations. The in-house property management team ensures the assets are well-maintained and the tenants are satisfied with their living arrangements. Through great customer service, our property management team continues to be recognized by CEL and Associates for Customer Service Excellence.
Communication is the key to our success. With respect to each project, we correspond regularly with our investment partners and coordinate all the necessary financial reporting and tax return generation. In this industry especially, reporting is extremely important in communicating the condition and health of the investment with our investment partners.
The CWS principals invest in each property to align their interests with those of their investors. The values CWS bases its operations on are:
- A demand for excellence with a sense of urgency
- A respect for people
- Requirement for profitability
- Honoring our word
- Ethical dealings are paramount
As a testament to our value, "Ethical dealings are paramount," CWS was honored with the 2005 Ethics in America award for a national privately held company alongside the National Honoree, Coach John R. Wooden.
