Sentinel’s fundraising strategy is different from other funds. We’re raising capital for our $100MM Opportunity Fund via individual, accredited investors. And we’re already 42% of the way there. Here’s why we’re choosing Main St over Wall St: Most funds are beholden to institutional capital. Their investment mandate is driven by the demands of those capital allocators, not by the opportunities in the market. “I’ve spent most of my career working with institutional capital. While it was mostly fruitful, there were times we didn’t see eye to eye on certain acquisitions,” said our co-founder and CIO Dennis Cisterna. “I was confident in my thematic approach and wanted to buy dozens of deals they made me pass on. It ended up costing them hundreds of millions of dollars. This time, I'm building a better mousetrap for me and my investors.” Working with retail investors means: 1. We don’t deploy capital on artificial timelines 2. We're highly selective in the deals we pursue 3. Every invested dollar is personal to us Our investors place their trust in us to find asymmetric opportunity in the CRE sector. And we never take a single invested dollar for granted. That’s our promise to our investors. Interested? Reach out to us to set up a call.

The suburbs are having a major moment in commercial real estate. And no, I'm not talking about grandma's sleepy cul-de-sac. I'm talking about vibrant, thriving communities where people actually want to live, work, and play. Here’s how things are changing: → Millennials are leaving coastal cities in droves in search of higher quality of life at a lower price → US urban cores saw a net loss of 1.92M people in the past three years alone → Midwest cities like Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville are all gaining residents and businesses To meet this demographic shift, restaurants, bars, cultural hotspots and offices are popping up far beyond downtown cores. This is a major sea change in America’s demographic distribution. And it's creating massive opportunities for savvy real estate investors. The key is to follow the money - and the people. Look for suburbs with strong job growth, rising incomes, and an influx of younger residents. My firm, Sentinel Net Lease, is investing in the Midwest, South, and Mountain West. All of which are the beneficiaries of the decline of cities like LA, NYC, and SF. Our thesis is that the sentiment around commercial real estate doesn’t account for this shift. The reality is you can scoop up properties with serious appreciation potential. The smart money is betting big on the ‘burbs. Those who recognize this shift and adapt their strategies accordingly stand to reap generous rewards. Demographics are destiny. And right now, they're pointing towards a very bright future for suburban real estate. If you want to learn more, shoot me a DM. — Do you agree that this demographic shift is a major indicator of opportunity? Or are you holding out hope that major metro downtowns are going to bounce back soon?

Office investments are dead, right? Not if you know where to look. We just closed a deal that delivered a 1.9x return on invested capital to our investors. In just 22 months of ownership. Let that sink in for a moment… Here's how we did it: → Identified an institutional-quality asset in Springfield, MO → Purchased well below replacement cost → Maximized value through strategic operational management → Attracted a quality buyer (CoxHealth) with unique needs The result? A 45% IRR. But here's the kicker - this was an office property. Yes, the same asset class everyone's running from. While others flee based on headlines, we dig deeper. We examine each property on its own merits. This approach has paid off time and time again. In fact, we believe now is the best time to go against the grain. The market's fear is creating unprecedented opportunities. At Sentinel, we don't follow the herd. We unearth value others overlook. And in today's office market, there's plenty of hidden gems for those willing to look. — How are you approaching office investments in the current market? Are you seeing opportunities others might be missing?
