Why Monthly Money Magnets

An acquisition partner that understands the property.

01

Operator Experience

Decades of property-level operating and mechanical experience inform acquisition decisions.

02

Physical + Financial Underwriting

We evaluate the property as well as the spreadsheet.

03

Disciplined Asset Management

Business plans are tracked through operating KPIs, budgets, capital projects, and NOI performance.

04

Long-Term Relationships

We seek professional relationships with sellers, brokers, lenders, operating partners, and investors.

Our Approach

Beyond the Broker Pro Forma

We evaluate both the financial statement and the physical property.

Financial Underwriting

  • Purchase price
  • Revenue and rent roll
  • Economic occupancy
  • Operating expenses
  • NOI
  • Cap rate
  • DSCR
  • Debt yield
  • Cash-on-cash return
  • Capital structure
  • Exit assumptions
  • Downside scenarios

Operational Underwriting

  • Deferred maintenance
  • HVAC and mechanical systems
  • Roofs and building envelope
  • Plumbing and electrical
  • Utility consumption
  • RUBS/submetering opportunities
  • Staffing
  • Vendor contracts
  • Renovation requirements
  • Capital expenditures
  • Operational inefficiencies
  • Expansion opportunities

A spreadsheet can tell you what a property earned. Operations help determine what it can become.

Two Things Every Investor Should Know

Know the deal. Know the operator.

01

The Numbers

The underwriting and deal terms that show whether a property can perform: income, expenses, financing, and a realistic business plan.

02

The Operator

The background and experience to run the property day to day, execute the plan, and manage risk along the way.

It's a bit like a horse race. You can study every stat on the horse and feel good about it, but you still need a jockey who knows how to ride.Strong numbers and a capable operator are both part of evaluating any commercial real estate investment.

The Operator

Experience from the mechanical room to the management office.

Dennis Howard, Principal and General Partner, Monthly Money Magnets
Dennis HowardPrincipal & General Partner

Dennis Howard brings more than three decades of multifamily experience spanning property operations, maintenance, management, renovations, capital improvements, and regional maintenance supervision.

His background in real estate began early. His family was involved in apartments, RV parks, and self-storage, and his mother served as a regional property manager and property owner.

Dennis began his own multifamily career in apartment maintenance and onsite HVAC before expanding into commercial HVAC, refrigeration, boilers, chillers, and major building systems. He subsequently moved into onsite property management and regional maintenance supervision, overseeing property operations, maintenance teams, renovations, capital projects, and major mechanical systems.

His operating experience also includes utility optimization and the conversion of all-bills-paid properties to resident utility billing structures, including RUBS and submetering.

Dennis later expanded into residential real estate investing, completing approximately 200 renovation and resale projects over roughly a decade.

Today, as Principal and General Partner of Monthly Money Magnets, Dennis applies that combined operating, mechanical, management, renovation, and investment experience to the acquisition and asset management of multifamily communities, self-storage facilities, and RV parks.

The objective is simple: understand the property beyond the spreadsheet.

Many buyers hire someone to tell them what's wrong with a property. Dennis has spent his career being that person — and has turned the wrench on the systems most investors never inspect.

Our Acquisition Process

A Disciplined Acquisition Process

01

Source

Broker relationships, direct-owner opportunities, referrals, and select off-market acquisitions.

02

Screen

Initial review of market, pricing, occupancy, operations, financing, and investment fundamentals.

03

Underwrite

Financial, operational, physical, financing, capital-stack, and downside analysis.

04

Due Diligence

Validate financial statements, rent rolls, contracts, physical condition, environmental matters, utilities, CapEx, title, insurance, and operational assumptions.

05

Acquire

Coordinate debt, equity, legal documentation, closing requirements, and transition planning.

06

Operate

Execute the business plan, monitor KPIs, manage capital projects, improve operations, report to investors, and evaluate refinance or disposition opportunities.

Asset Management

Acquisition Is Only the Beginning

Our focus continues after closing. Monthly Money Magnets uses an operator-driven asset-management approach built around the day-to-day drivers of property performance.

We believe value creation should be managed as a measurable operating plan — not simply assumed in an acquisition spreadsheet.

Acquisition criteria are guidelines rather than absolute requirements and may change. Opportunities outside these parameters may be evaluated when compelling economics, location, financing, expansion, or strategic considerations exist.

Capital & Financing

Monthly Money Magnets evaluates acquisitions using transaction-specific combinations of sponsor capital, investor equity, strategic capital relationships, and commercial real estate financing.

Financial capacity information can be provided to qualified sellers, brokers, lenders, and transaction counterparties when appropriate.

Property Owners & Brokers

Have a Property to Sell?

We welcome opportunities from owners and commercial real estate brokers.

Serious underwriting. Operator perspective. Professional execution.

We understand that sellers and brokers need more than an attractive LOI. They need a buyer capable of evaluating the property, identifying issues early, coordinating financing and equity, completing due diligence, and working toward an efficient closing.

Brokers — Send Us Your Opportunities

We value relationships with commercial real estate brokers and welcome opportunities involving multifamily communities, self-storage facilities, RV parks, and portfolios that fit our acquisition strategy.

We aim to provide clear feedback, disciplined underwriting, realistic execution timelines, and professional communication throughout the acquisition process.

Investor Information

Investor Information

Monthly Money Magnets works with investors interested in learning about commercial real estate opportunities involving multifamily, self-storage, and RV park acquisitions. Investment opportunities, when available, are evaluated and structured on a transaction-specific basis.

Transaction-Specific Investment Structures

Each acquisition is evaluated and structured independently.

Specific investment terms — including minimum investment, preferred returns if applicable, distributions, LP/GP participation, financing, projected hold period, and other economic terms — will be described in the applicable offering documents.

Underwrite First. Operate Second. Performance Determines the Outcome.

Every acquisition is evaluated individually using base-case and downside assumptions.

Projections are estimates based on assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance.

Request Investor Information
