Access to real estate offerings you won’t find advertised.
Personal sourcing of passive real estate investments. Free for accredited investors.
What We Are
Deals matched to your criteria.
We introduce investors to passive real estate offerings. We are not a listing site and we do not sell anything.
When an offering matches your criteria, we go over the deal with you and you decide if you want an introduction to the sponsor.
Sponsors pay us on a flat-fee basis and we make the same whether you invest or not. No sales pressure from our end, just deal facts and an introduction.
Access
Offerings you would not otherwise reach.
Many of the sponsors we work with do not advertise at all. They raise on referral, inside their own circles, from people they already know. Their offerings are not listed anywhere and there is no way to find them from the outside.
Access is only half of it. Every operator also clears four checks before anything reaches you:
- We meet the operator face to face.
- A background search on the operator.
- A proven track record of successfully completed deals.
- Realistic underwriting and a credible business plan.
The Process
How it works.
-
01
A fifteen-minute intro call. We ask what you are looking for. Asset type, check size, structure, market, timeline. No pitch, no pressure, and nothing to prepare.
-
02
We stay in touch. We check in from time to time to make sure we still have it right. Your objectives and liquidity change, and we would rather ask than assume.
-
03
We send you a deal. When an offering matches what you told us, we send you details on the offering and let you know why we think it fits what you described.
-
04
We make the introduction. If you like the deal, we introduce you to the sponsor. You meet the sponsor and do your own diligence. The relationship is yours. We step aside.
What You Get
The InvestorCheq advantage.
-
A first filter. We only work with tried and tested operators. Deal diligence is ultimately yours, but we review everything internally first. Our name is attached to every introduction we make.
-
We know what normal looks like. Our principals have operated real estate deals and invested in them as limited partners. We have reviewed hundreds of offerings, so we recognize what is normal and what is a red flag.
-
No commitment or obligation. You are never committed to anything. If nothing fits, you hear nothing from us, and that is a perfectly okay outcome. All we ask in return is that you are responsive and respectful of sponsors’ time.
-
No email blasts. No deal blasted to an entire list, no drip campaigns, no “stop to unsubscribe” texts. When we contact you, it is personal, about a specific offering, and because it fits your criteria.
-
We are not a platform. We work with no more than 125 investors. We are not a community and there are no meetups. We give individualized access to real estate deals, and we cannot do that adequately for a broader audience.
-
We are not paid on your investment. Asking a capital raiser if you should invest is like asking a barber if you need a haircut. We are paid the same whether you invest or not, so we stay neutral. Just deal facts, and an introduction if you want one.

FAQ
Questions investors ask us.
Is this really free?
Yes. Sponsors pay us a flat fee, which is what makes the service free to you. You are never invoiced and there is nothing to subscribe to.
What happens on the first call?
It takes about fifteen minutes. We ask what you are looking for and what you are not, and we give you a sense of what is currently crossing our desk. There is nothing to prepare and nothing is pitched.
Do I need to be an accredited investor?
Yes. The offerings our sponsors raise for are limited to accredited investors under federal securities rules. We confirm this before making any introduction.
Do you recommend deals or give advice?
No. We introduce you to sponsors and tell you why we think the fit matches what you described. We are not investment advisers and we do not evaluate the merits of an investment for you. Your diligence is your own.
How often will I hear from you?
Rarely, by design. A handful of introductions a year at most, plus an occasional check-in to confirm we still have your objectives right.
What do you do with my information?
We use it to understand what you are looking for. We do not sell it, and we do not pass your name or details to any sponsor until you tell us you want the introduction.
