Business Strategy

Secure property investments. Establish sustainable wealth. Demonstrate proven strategy.

We offer investors secure real estate properties with growth potential. Debt-free real estate investments may provide steady monthly income and significant long-term asset appreciation. American Life integrates a disciplined approach in a "safety-first" investment strategy.

Build long-term value.

American Life uses research-based selection methods and local market knowledge to identify undervalued real estate opportunities, mostly in commercial, industrial, and hotel properties. We apply our modeling capabilities across multiple regional centers, and the result is more value-driven investment opportunities across many geographical markets.

Acquire and develop.

By acquiring contiguous and nearby commercial properties, the entire development becomes greater than the sum of the individual projects. Each acquisition and development project must add value to the surrounding area. This process, along with our in-house construction and project management capabilities, enables American Life to deliver quality development projects on time and within budget. See our recent project – Homeplate Commercial Plaza and Seattle Marriott Hotel

Provide low-risk investments. 

Our debt-free, self-capitalization investment program eliminates financial dependency on lenders. More importantly, being free and clear of mortgage debt maximizes investor safety by eliminating the chance of property loss to lenders in the case of bad economic conditions. In fact, American Life's secure investment strategy paid off during the most recent U.S. financial crisis of 2007 that was wrought with increased debt burden and over-leveraging.  

Maximize income and growth.

Superior in-house leasing and property management capacities enable American Life to better serve our tenants and rent our properties. We take pride in customizing spaces to best suit tenants' needs by offering free space-planning services and providing access to loans for tenant improvements. As tenants' space requirements change, they may relocate within our portfolio without penalties.  

Exit strategy planned. 

American Life believes that premier property locations increase income and long-term appreciation, which ultimately drives the exit strategies. Every property investment should have access to practical yet effective strategies.

As an American Life domestic or EB-5 investor, your investment exit strategy options include the following: 

  • Selling to a large developer or real-estate investment trust
  • Developing the parcels and selling each parcel separately
  • Forming a publicly traded real estate investment trust
  • Refinancing the property and distributing the loan proceeds
  • Borrowing against one's partnership interest from local lenders
  • Selling individual partnership units to private equity investors

Please note that all exit strategies will depend on market conditions. See how our partnerships derive Income and Growth for your investment.
