Our Development Legacy

Landmark projects across Texas and Tennessee

Long before JLM Financial Partners, our principals established a distinguished real estate development track record. During periods of
economic expansion, JLM developed and co-developed the following portfolio:

Distressed & Opportunistic Acquisitions

When markets shifted after the 2008 crisis, JLM’s Distressed Credit & Opportunistic Investing Division acquired over $220 million in distressed commercial real estate and corporate aircraft assets. Our ability to underwrite quickly, bring capital, and close gave us a decisive edge with banks, insurance companies, government agencies, and trustees.

Selected Transactions (2009–2013)

These nine transactions spanned six states and included CRE loan portfolios, a $71.5M aircraft loan portfolio from the FDIC, a 1,553-bed nursing home portfolio, and the 935,255 SF Freescale Semiconductor campus in Austin.

Pioneering build-to-rent communities that
address fundamental market needs

JLM Living: Solving
America’s Housing Crisis

Build-to-rent is one of the fastest growing and strongest asset classes in real estate.

JLM Living’s cottage-style BTR model offers superior economics and an innovative alternative to traditional rental options like apartments. With only 3% of single-family rental units currently owned by institutions, JLM has the opportunity to pioneer a proven BTR model across multiple markets.

Multiple Demand Drivers

  • Affordability: BTR communities offer comparable finish-outs and the privacy and comfort of a traditional home without the burden of a mortgage.
  • Flexibility: Low-maintenance lifestyle with the ability to lock and leave. Relocation flexibility without significant transaction costs.
  • Broad Demographic: Appeals to those in transition—not ready to buy, upsizing, or downsizing.
  • Migration: Tremendous migration to the Southeast and Southwest, from urban to suburban areas, and from traditional housing types to single-family rental.

Superior Economics

  • Rent Premiums: 15–20% above Class A multifamily.
  • Extended Tenant Duration: Typically 2–3x that of a traditional apartment unit.
  • Strong Buyer Demand: Pension funds, REITs, and private equity are driving demand for completed BTR projects, resulting in lower cap rates compared to other real estate product types.

Expanding the Platform

In addition to developing new BTR communities, JLM Living is also acquiring existing multifamily projects—broadening the platform and accelerating portfolio growth across target markets.

Recent economic turbulence is weeding out less-capitalized BTR developers, positioning JLM as one of the few remaining developers able to deliver product in 2026/2027.
