The AM Companies was developed out of partners' demand for direct investment in real estate. Previously the AM Companies has invested directly in real estate with only the equity provided within our core partnership.  This was developed as an investment arm for our individual partners interested in the benefits of real estate as an asset allocation, but unable to spend the time and effort required to acquire and manage property directly. In the past, direct investment in real estate has shut out investors who either do not meet qualified investor status or cannot make the large minimum investments required. These restrictions have traditionally left investors with few options for investing in real estate. We seek to make private investment available to our investors at a lower minimum investment threshold than the open market, in an environment where investments align with the Risk/Reward results that investors require.
