We acquire grocery-anchored retail, medical, industrial, and multifamily properties across the Sun Belt and Southeast — built to generate durable cash flow for decades, not quarters.
Chasing cap rate compression, speculative markets, and short-hold flips leaves investors exposed. Acquire Assets & Management was built around a different philosophy — buy fundamentally strong assets in sectors with durable demand, hold long-term, and build compounding cash flow that stands the test of cycles.
Acquire Assets & Management is a commercial real estate investment group formed through a partnership between Fernando Lopes Jr. and John Evans. Fernando brings a substantial residential portfolio and years of hands-on investment experience to the firm. John's team provides the research, sourcing, and deal-flow infrastructure that supports every acquisition decision.
Together, our operating platform works alongside commercial brokerages across the country to identify opportunities that meet strict criteria. We don't pursue transactions opportunistically — we build durable positions in assets that anchor communities and generate consistent, long-term returns.
We don't guess. We follow a disciplined process for every market, every acquisition, and every phase of our portfolio build.
We rank counties across 5 target states by population growth, employment trends, income levels, and retail/medical demand density. Only A and B tier counties make the cut.
Every acquisition is evaluated against asset-specific cap rate floors, lease structure requirements, occupancy minimums, and tenant quality standards — no exceptions.
We close on fundamentally sound assets, stabilize operations, and hold for long-term compounding cash flow — building a portfolio that grows in value through every market cycle.
We focus on commercial property types where tenants serve essential needs — not discretionary spending. These sectors perform across economic cycles.
Necessity-based retail centers anchored by grocery chains serving communities regardless of economic conditions. NNN leases with strong institutional tenant covenants.
Hospital-adjacent and freestanding medical properties with long-term leases. Healthcare demand is demographic-driven and recession-resistant by nature.
Last-mile logistics, light manufacturing, and flex warehouse properties benefiting from e-commerce growth and reshoring of supply chains in Sun Belt markets.
Class B and B+ apartment communities in growing Sun Belt metros with strong employment bases. Agency-eligible structures with value-add upside potential.
Our five Phase 1 states share a common profile: net population growth, business-friendly tax environments, diversified employment, and rising commercial demand.
Acquire Assets & Management was founded on the principle that transparency and long-term thinking are more valuable than short-term transaction volume. Our approach is simple: build lasting relationships, execute thoughtfully, and never pursue a deal that doesn't fundamentally make sense.
Our operating platform is backed by an established market research and origination team working alongside commercial brokerages across the U.S. — giving us the sourcing infrastructure of a larger firm while maintaining the decision-making speed of a focused partnership.
We follow a phased strategy designed to establish cash flow first, scale intelligently, and pursue opportunistic upside from a position of strength.
Establish the portfolio foundation with our highest-conviction, most resilient asset types. Lock in long-term NNN leases with institutional-grade tenants before adding complexity.
Introduce multifamily to broaden the portfolio and provide liquidity pathways. Leverage established cash flow to access agency financing and expand into additional metros.
Deploy into industrial and flex from a stable base already generating cash flow. Pursue larger deals, development opportunities, and market dislocations with confidence.
We approach every new relationship with clarity and transparency. Tell us about your deal or investment interest and we'll respond promptly with a clear answer.
All inquiries are reviewed personally by Fernando or John.
