ABOUT US
At FBR Investment Fund, our primary objective is to identify real estate deals with significant return potential and make them accessible to our investors. We specialize in two areas:
1. Single family residential and small multi-family “flip projects” with shorter time-frames which have a specific emphasis on value-add or property repositioning that allow us to swiftly maximize property value.
2. Mid to large sized projects (ground-up construction, value-add or reposition deals) which we hold long-term in our cash-flowing portfolio.
In both instances we find off-market deals through industry connections and purchase our properties below market value. We focus on immediate value enhancement, ensuring greater profitability regardless of market conditions.
Our streamlined operations leverage a small in-house team of real estate experts who live real estate, combined with advanced software automation and cutting-edge technology to handle deals in volume. This efficient approach allows us to maintain low overhead costs and deliver superior returns to our valued investors. Our team shares two common passions: generating opportunities that allow our investors to grow their wealth, and creating amazing properties that people proudly call “home”!
Matt Burrow – Founder & Head of Acquisitions
Matt brings a passion for real estate and over 19 years of industry expertise to FBR Investment Fund. Prior to real estate investing Matt was a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic, owning and managing 3 healthcare clinics in the Phoenix Valley.
In 2004 Matt retired from the medical field, started flipping houses and worked on creating a rental portfolio. He has flipped over 375 houses and owned over 80 rentals while working with high-net-worth private capital, giving partners very strong returns. This experience will be guiding the company’s push to acquire 300+ SFR fix-n-flip properties in 2023-2024. Matt has developed a house-flip analysis software program and mentored countless investors to give back to the investor community.
Matt’s multi-family investing began in 2006 and includes development projects, value-add /redevelopment deals and apartment-to-condo conversions. Matt’s experience as a principal includes deal sizes up to 200 units and $24M in value.
Matt is heavily involved in all aspects of an FBR deal, from finding and analyzing discounted off-market deals, to contract negotiations and financing. Matt has set up the Company’s team and property “pipeline” system to handle a high volume of deals and is always looking for creative win-win situations to help out a Seller.
He created Accounting for Rentals and Flips, an accounting company for investors (his company performs no services for FBR deals) and is passionate about his family, personal growth and development, and making a positive impact in his community.
