Investment Philosophy |
Whether for insitutional or private, high net worth investors, our investment philosophy is to provide
our clients with a specialized, experienced, and knowledgeable team
of professionals to carry out our clients’ real estate investment
goals and objectives. Each property considered for acquisition is
carefully evaluated to match the specific goals of our clients. A business plan is created upon acquisition, outlining steps to be taken with that particular investment. Our
ultimate objective will always be to acquire, develop, and manage
each property that maximizes its value.We occasionally co-invest alongside investors.

Acquisition Strategy |
Our Acquisition Strategy is to identify
properties that meet certain well-defined criteria. We use a conservative
investment approach, and review and analyze hundreds of properties
for every offer we make. We look for properties that are:
- Well-located, in an area that is experiencing both economic
and demographic growth
- Well-positioned in their “market” for long-term
appreciation
- Capable of sustaining a competitive advantage, regardless of
the economy
- Able to generate immediate significant cash flow
- Occupied by credit tenants with nationally known anchors (retail)
We are also looking for properties where we can potentially add
value through additional development, better management, or repositioning.

Acquisition Due Diligence |
Our Acquisition Due Diligence is both
detailed and comprehensive. Initial underwriting relies on our market
expertise, leasing and management experience, familiarity with the
current financing markets, property and risk assessment skills, identification
of exit strategies, and considerable knowledge of legal and tax matters.
Our standard property evaluation involves a full complement of property
inspections and reports on every aspect of the property including,
but not limited to:
- Structural inspections; roof, HVAC and building system inspections
- Seismic, soils, and environmental investigations
- Zoning compliance
- Service contracts & warranties
- Capital expenditure records
- Tenant lease abstract and review
- Review and analysis of past and current operating statements,
budgets, tax bills, expense records, tenant payment histories,
and tenant correspondence
- Market survey and analysis, comparable sales and leasing analysis,
rent rates and vacancy trends in the area, competitive property
analysis, and several other property specific investigations
- Comprehensive tenant interviews

Proven In-House Management |
Our Proven In-House Asset and Property Management is
both experienced and dedicated. We place as much importance on the
management of our properties as we do on the acquisition. The ability
to manage properties successfully is fundamental to optimizing the
income-producing potential and value appreciation of any investment
real estate, but is often overlooked.
The prudent real estate acquisitions of West Valley Properties are
molded into successful growth vehicles by our staff of carefully selected
management and maintenance personnel. Our asset and property managers are dedicated to
operational efficiency and high profitability through the application
of proven, hands-on management.
Some examples of the key property management principles we follow
are outlined below:
- Rents are sustained at the highest level consistent with the
local market.
- Rent collection policies are defined and designed to minimize
delinquency.
- Expenses are controlled by the use of rigorous cost and quality
control.
- Maintenance costs are closely supervised and competitive bids
are solicited regularly.
- All functions are monitored by the highest levels of management,
weekly.
- Properties are inspected regularly by the principals of West
Valley Properties.
- Tenant retention whenever achievable and feasible

Investor Communication |
Our Investor Communication approach
is 3-fold. Our goal is to keep our investors fully informed about
their investment through prompt, timely, and comprehensive reporting.
The typical investor receives monthly distribution checks, and regular
financial statements and narrative reports on each property. Year-end
financial statements and K-1's for tax reporting are mailed to each
investor promptly following the closing of the books for each calendar
year.
