The Cast — Who Does What
Every real-estate cashflow deal has a cast. Most platforms try to play every part — find the deal, swing the hammers, manage the tenants, carry the staff. That's heavy. That's slow. That breaks.
We do one thing, and we do it well: we find the deal and connect it to capital. Everyone else in this cast is a partner we plug in.
Where we sit
We're the hub. Everyone else is a spoke. We source the deal, verify it cashflows, pool the capital, coordinate the partners, and run the automated payouts. We don't own the buildings, we don't fix the roofs, and we don't chase rent. See the full hub picture in the-connector.
The full roster
Here's everyone in the deal, what they do, and how they get paid. Read down the Who column — only one row says Us.
| Role | What they do | Who | Paid how |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finder / Connector | Source the deal, verify it cashflows, pool capital, coordinate the cast, run automated payouts | Us | Finder fee + platform fee |
| Investors | Put in capital, own fractional shares, receive the cashflow | Everyday people | Monthly distributions |
| Operating Partner / Sponsor | Holds deal-level responsibility, executes the business plan on the ground | Vetted partner (we select, we don't become) | Share of profit / sponsor fee |
| Property Manager | Tenants, rent collection, day-to-day maintenance | Partner | % of rent collected |
| Contractor / GC | Rehab and repairs | Partner | Project fee |
| Attorney | Entity setup, the paperwork, contracts | Partner | Flat legal fee (a deal cost — not ours to carry) |
| Title & Escrow | Clean title, closing | Partner | Closing costs |
| Lender (if leverage is used) | Mortgage / financing | Partner | Interest |
| Compliance / Share-rail vendor | Identity checks, the fractional-share rails, recordkeeping | Partner | Vendor / platform fee |
Our role, in plain terms
We are the Finder and the Connector. That's it. That's the whole job — and it's the highest-leverage seat at the table.
We get paid a finder's fee for sourcing and verifying the deal, and a platform fee for running the rail that pools the capital and pushes out the payouts. Full breakdown in how-we-earn. Where each dollar travels: following-the-money.
What this buys us: leverage
Because we don't own, build, or operate, we carry almost nothing. That's the entire point.
The work still gets done — beautifully — by people who do it for a living. We just make sure the right person owns each job.
Why not just do it all ourselves?
Because that's the old model, and the old model is heavy.
- Carries staff, trucks, and overhead
- One bad property drags the whole company
- Growth means hiring — slow and costly
- Wears every hat, masters none
- No staff, no trucks, no overhead
- Bad partner? Swap them — the deal stands on its own
- Growth means more deals, not more payroll
- Masters one thing: finding and connecting
The things we deliberately stay out of are spelled out in what-we-dont-do. The thesis behind it all is in the-vision.
So, who does what?
- We find it, prove it, connect it, and run the money rail.
- Investors fund it and own a slice.
- Partners do everything else — and get paid for it.
Walk the same deal start to finish in deal-lifecycle.
