The Problem

Most people trying to earn passive income from real estate end up with something that isn't.

There are three usual paths. Each one breaks in a predictable place.

Buying rentals yourself

Where it breaks: the word "passive"

You've bought a job with leverage attached. Turnover, capex, insurance renewals, tax reassessments and one bad tenant can erase a year of cash flow — and your entire position sits in one submarket you happen to live near.

Publicly traded REITs

Where it breaks: correlation

Liquid and genuinely hands-off, but priced by the same equity market you were trying to diversify away from. When your stock portfolio draws down, so does this. You own a ticker, not an asset.

Single-deal syndications

Where it breaks: concentration

Real assets and real sponsors, but you're underwriting one building, one operator and one business plan at a time. Get the deal wrong and there's nothing else in the position to carry it.

Our Edge

Where the fund competes: transactions under $5 million.

This is a real structural gap, not a marketing angle.

Institutional capital has a minimum efficient check size. A billion-dollar allocator can't deploy $3M at a time — the diligence, legal and asset management cost per dollar doesn't work. So the sub-$5M band gets left to local operators who are usually undercapitalized, slow to close, and financing-contingent.

We sit in that band deliberately: below where institutions can operate efficiently, above where individual buyers can compete on speed and certainty. It's where a seller will still trade price for a clean close, and where relationships and local knowledge are worth actual basis points.

How that shows up in the portfolio

  • Deals sourced through direct relationships rather than broker auctions, which is where competitive bidding compresses returns.
  • Multiple positions across different asset types and geographies, funded by the same pool of capital.
  • Flexibility to move between the capital stack layers — equity where growth is priced in, debt where current income is priced better.
  • A generational wealth transfer thesis underneath it: an ageing owner base holding smaller assets with no institutional exit and no succession plan.

Investor Fit

Whether this fits is a fair question to answer first.

This tends to fit investors who

  • Meet the accredited investor standard and can verify it.
  • Are allocating capital they don't need liquid for several years.
  • Want current income from real assets rather than appreciation on a screen.
  • Have owned property directly and decided they'd rather not do it again.
  • Are comfortable reading a PPM and asking hard questions about it.

It tends not to fit investors who

  • Need access to the principal on short notice. Private funds are illiquid.
  • Are looking for a guaranteed return. No private real estate fund offers one.
  • Want to select individual deals themselves rather than delegate allocation.
  • Are deploying capital they can't afford to have at risk.
  • Haven't yet met the accredited standard — we can't accept your subscription.

Leadership

Who is managing your capital.

Mathew Simmons is founder and managing principal of SIMM Capital. He has been raising and deploying capital since 2006 and has spent roughly twenty years operating businesses across real estate, manufacturing and retail — including exits, and including one that went through bankruptcy.

That last part matters more than the wins. Most sponsors will show you a track record with the failures edited out. Having taken a business all the way down teaches you exactly which assumptions break first, and it is the reason this fund holds fixed-rate debt, sits above equity where it can, and is built to be diversified rather than concentrated in whatever is working this year.

He leads every term negotiation and signs off on every subscription personally. He is also the author of Become Scaleable.

Cash, people, inventory, customers. Everything else in a business is commentary on those four.

Questions about any of that are better answered directly than in a brochure.

The Process

What happens after you request the package.

No pressure, no calendar traps. You can stop at any step.

We get in touch

Our investor relations team reaches out to understand what you're looking for. Usually within one business day.

A conversation, if you want one

A direct call with our investor relations team, or with Mat. The point is to answer your questions and to determine whether this is a fit — in both directions.

Accreditation verification and full documents

Rule 506(c) requires that we take reasonable steps to verify accredited status before accepting capital. Once that's complete you receive the private placement memorandum and subscription documents to review — ideally with your own counsel and tax advisor.

Subscription and funding

If you decide to proceed, you execute the subscription documents and fund. Reporting and distributions follow the schedule set out in the fund documents.


Frequently Asked

Questions investors ask first.

What does "accredited investor" mean, and why does it matter here?

Under SEC rules, an accredited investor generally has income above $200,000 individually or $300,000 jointly with a spouse in each of the two most recent years, or a net worth above $1 million excluding a primary residence. Certain professional certifications and licenses also qualify. This fund is offered under Rule 506(c), which permits us to advertise publicly but requires us to take reasonable steps to verify that every investor is accredited before accepting capital. That verification is a documented process, not a checkbox.

What's the minimum investment?

$100,000. Terms and any exceptions are set out in the fund documents.

How liquid is this?

It isn't. This is a private fund holding real property and private debt positions, and you should plan on your capital being committed for the term described in the fund documents. Any redemption or transfer provisions are spelled out there. If you may need the principal back on short notice, this is the wrong vehicle — and we'd rather tell you that now than at closing.

How are distributions handled, and are they guaranteed?

Limited partners receive a 10% preferred return, paid monthly, ahead of the sponsor in the order of payment. That is a targeted rate rather than a guaranteed one — no private real estate fund can guarantee a future distribution. Actual distributions depend on the performance of the underlying assets and are made to the extent available under the fund documents, and the usual real estate risks apply: vacancy, rate movements, property tax and insurance increases, construction delays and market conditions.

Do you report honestly when a year is difficult?

Yes. Our annual investor updates set out the pressures on the portfolio directly rather than in general terms — repositioning, rising property taxes and insurance costs, elevated interest rates, and housing authority budget reductions have all been named in writing to investors. We'd rather send an uncomfortable letter than a vague one. Ask us for the most recent one; how a sponsor writes about a hard year tells you more than any track record slide.

What are the tax implications?

Investors receive a Schedule K-1. Real estate funds often generate depreciation that can shelter a portion of distributions, and dispositions may produce long-term capital gain treatment, but the outcome depends entirely on your own situation, entity structure and state. Nothing here is tax advice — review the fund documents with your CPA before subscribing.

How is this different from the syndications I keep getting emailed?

A syndication is normally a single asset with a single business plan; if it underperforms, that's your whole position. This is a fund holding positions across five asset types — single-family workforce housing, stabilized multifamily, NNN commercial retail, development and new construction, and credit and debt — including positions senior to equity, which get paid before sponsors do. You're delegating allocation across a portfolio rather than underwriting one building at a time.

Can I speak to Mat directly?

Yes. He leads every term negotiation and signs every subscription. If you're seriously evaluating an allocation, you'll talk to him before you commit capital.

Start with a conversation, not a commitment.

Request access and we'll be in touch. If it's a fit, we'll go further. If it isn't, you'll know quickly and nobody will chase you.
