AWESOME INVESTMENTS

Real Strategy. Real Discipline. Real Growth.

A private real estate investment model for qualified capital partners — built on the construction capability most operators don't have.

Dallas–Fort Worth · Single-deal joint ventures · Invitation only

The investment thesis

The construction edge is the moat.

Most real estate investors compete for the same set of deals — the cosmetic flips that get bid up because anyone can do them. Awesome Investments competes for a different set: the deals where the path to ARV requires adding square footage or executing a deep renovation. Most operators won't touch them. We can. The construction arm runs real residential projects to a documented operating standard in DFW — capability that lets us underwrite at prices our competitors can't justify, and pass that math through to the capital partner.

01

We underwrite what others can't

Most investors avoid square-footage additions and structural work — permits, engineering, foundations, roof tie-ins. So they bid only on cosmetic flips, and those get bid up. We are operationally built for the deals they avoid.

02

Vertical integration, predictable cost

The renovation budget isn't a third-party estimate that may not hold. It's a number produced by the in-house team that will execute the work — held against documented quality and schedule standards.

03

Material relationships compound the edge

Awesome Group Construction is a distributor for several material brands and maintains direct supplier relationships. Materials flow through the deal at supplier pricing, not retail. Over a $150,000 renovation, the differential is meaningful.

04

The lender relationship is established

Existing hard-money partnerships finance up to 90% of property + construction cost and up to 70% of ARV. The capital partner is not introduced to a lender — the loan is structured before the deal is presented.

05

The schedule is monitored in real time

Every deal is executed under The Awesome Group Standard, including the proprietary Jade integration that monitors schedule and budget continuously. Schedule slippage on a flip is profit erosion — caught the day it happens, not the day before exit.

06

Two operators, one model

Most investment operations are run by people who buy real estate; most construction companies by people who build. The two rarely live under one roof. Awesome Investments exists because they should — and the resulting math is structurally better for the capital partner.

How it works

Single-deal joint ventures with qualified accredited investors.

Each deal is held in its own single-purpose LLC. No pooled fund. No general solicitation. Capital partner relationships are private and invitation-only.

10–30% Capital partner equity contribution of the total stack
$30k–$200k Typical participation per deal, by deal size
60/40 Profit split at exit — partner / operator, with a preferred return tier
6–18 mo Typical hold on a flip-and-exit structure

Debt financing. A hard-money loan covers the balance — financing up to 90% of property acquisition + construction cost combined, with maximum exposure capped at 70% of ARV. Lender relationships are existing partnerships.

Distribution. A preferred return tier precedes the promote, followed by the 60/40 waterfall. Specific breakpoints and preferred rates are documented in each JV agreement.

Construction margin. Included in the renovation budget and embedded in the deal's underwriting — not extracted on top.

What we underwrite

Three deal archetypes account for most of what we execute.

Add-and-flip

Properties priced for their existing footprint, where adding square footage — a primary-suite addition, a second story, an ADU — produces an ARV that justifies both acquisition and construction cost. Inaccessible to most competitors. Our specialty.

Deep-renovation flips

Full interior reconfiguration, MEP replacement, structural work, or significant code updates. Most flippers won't touch them; we underwrite them because the construction risk is contained in-house.

New-construction

Tear-down lots in established neighborhoods, ground-up custom construction of a marketable home. Reserved for higher capital participation and longer hold periods.

Mid-tier cosmetic flips are not the focus. The construction moat doesn't apply, so the math is the same for us as for any other operator — and they'll outbid us on price. We pass.

The operating model

Five phases. The capital partner journey is the spine.

Every deal runs through a five-phase operating model — sourced, underwritten, executed, and exited with the discipline of an institutional process layered on a real construction operating company.

  1. 01

    Deal sourcing

    DFW broker relationships, off-market wholesaler networks, and direct seller contact. Every property is filtered against the construction-moat test: does our capability create an edge here, or could any operator do this deal? If the latter, we pass.

  2. 02

    Underwriting & capital-partner match

    Full underwriting — acquisition, renovation (modeled by the construction team), holding and financing costs, projected ARV from comps, timeline, and sensitivity analysis — matched to a partner whose size, hold tolerance, and risk profile fit. Presented under confidentiality.

  3. 03

    Acquisition & financing

    The single-purpose LLC is formed and the JV operating agreement signed. Capital partner equity is contributed; the hard-money loan closes with our existing lender partner. Title transfers; capital is deployed.

  4. 04

    Construction execution

    Executed by Awesome Group Construction under The Awesome Group Standard. The capital partner receives an Account Success Manager, a dedicated Project Manager, real-time schedule and budget visibility via Jade, photo documentation via CompanyCam, and weekly written updates.

  5. 05

    Sale & distribution

    Listed with a partner brokerage. At close, the loan is paid off, costs are settled, capital is returned, and remaining proceeds distribute per the waterfall — preferred tier, then 60/40. Final accounting is delivered within 30 days.

About

Two operators, one model.

Awesome Investments was founded by two operators who came at real estate from two different directions and converged on the same insight.

Milagros Porturas

Managing Partner

Brings the investment side — years of real estate investment experience, deal sourcing across DFW residential, and the operator's understanding of how a flip's economics actually play out from acquisition through sale. Leads capital-partner relationships.

Jonas de Cardenas

Operating Partner

Brings both sides — years of flipping and operating DFW deals, paired with the multi-year operating system built on the construction side. Responsible for underwriting, construction execution, and coordination between Awesome Investments and Awesome Group Construction.

For capital partners

The relationship begins as a relationship.

The capital-partner profile is specific. Relationships are private and invitation-only — no general solicitation, no web-form lead capture.

Accredited investors

$2M+ in investable net worth, diversifying away from public markets into a model with manufactured value creation rather than market-dependent appreciation.

Family offices & private investors

Placing capital into single-deal residential value-add opportunities, typically $30,000 to $200,000 per deal depending on deal size.

Sophisticated evaluators

Investors who evaluate a sponsor on operational capability — not just historical returns — and who understand that "passive" does not mean "no risk."

Common questions

How does the introduction process work?

Introductions come through referral, professional network, or a partner office (CPA, RIA, attorney). An initial 30–45 minute discovery call follows — we ask about your experience, real estate exposure, target allocation, and hold-period tolerance, and answer questions about the model. No deal is presented in that call.

What do I receive once a deal is underway?

A signed JV operating agreement, a documented underwriting model with explicit assumptions, real-time Jade dashboard access, monthly written deal updates on the same calendar day each month, a CompanyCam photo archive of every phase, and final accounting within 30 days of sale close.

How are material developments communicated?

Permit issues, scope changes, schedule shifts greater than two weeks, and budget variances greater than five percent are communicated in writing within five business days — not buried in the next monthly update.

Where do you operate?

Dallas–Fort Worth initially. Expansion into Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, San Diego, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami follows the construction-side brand family's market entry — the construction moat does not export ahead of the construction operation.
