Founder and CEO

Protect & Grow Capital With Our Multifamily Investment Opportunities For Family Offices, Fund Managers, & High-Net-Worth Individuals

When I was 19, I bought my first property.

I didn’t realize it then, but that little duplex changed my life.

Now, almost 20 years later, I’ve sourced, capitalized, and closed on over $250 million of properties for my firm, Breneman Capital.

For the last 15 years, I’ve worked closely with investors — family offices, PE, Fund of Funds, RIAs, and individuals — to help them generate income and wealth through multifamily real estate.

The old real estate adage says, “You make your money when you buy in real estate.”

I agree with that — but I think it’s only 50% true.

The other 50% comes in the execution. And I’ve built Breneman Capital through that lens. 

Over the last 20 years, our realized investments have produced an average gross return of:

• 24% IRR
• 2.2x equity multiple
• 5.6-year hold period

In my opinion, our longest-standing investor relationships come down to 2 factors:

1) Our deals have performed well.
2) We focus on giving investors the best possible experience.

Real estate can be complex. But we like to keep our goals for our investors simple.

Strong returns.
Great experiences.
World-class communication.

Owner/Investor/Developer

Proudly aligned with S.J. Fowler Real Estate Investments, one of the strongest Commercial Brokerages in the Phoenix MSA. Multifamily / Investment Sales Specialist. 33+ years of investment sales over 1000+ transactions. Worked hard to obtain my J.D. in 1995; my CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) in 2011; and my MBA in 2013. Those skill-sets have allowed for a higher level of analysis, and ultimately better negotiations for my clients. But I am the first to say that hard work is what differentiates me from many of my competitors.  I live, eat, and breath multi-family & land investments across Phoenix, the East Valley, Scottsdale, Glendale, and more. Day-in and day-out. Proven and respected closer with many significant sales around Phoenix over the last several years. Expert negotiator and marketer with many sales that set the highest price ever for the zip code. Since 2015, I have sold a wide range of multi-family and land. Some examples include numerous $1 million+ closings in Central Phoenix from 7-30 units; several $1 million+ sales in Mesa/Tempe/Chandler/AJ; a 100 unit complex in Glendale, a 28 unit in Buckeye, and many, many 2-4 unit buildings! Started in real estate while in law school; getting my feet wet selling, managing, and investing. After graduating with my J.D. in 1995, I started my own real estate brokerage, management, investment, and renovation companies in 1996 in Milwaukee, WI. Eventually, I also started a real estate development company. Over the next 17 years, my entrepreneurial spirit was in overload. I personally acquired and sold close to 500 properties while carving out my niche as a trusted source of everything commercial real estate. At one point, I had well over 100 broker transactions annually and owned over 450 units personally. However, after some struggles during the great recession of 2009-2011, I relocated to sunny Arizona after exhaustive research. The lower barrier of entry, lower cost to operate, and lower tax structure in AZ was too good to pass up. I have not looked back since. The Phoenix area continues year-over-year to have some of the strongest population and high-paying job growth in the US. Those growth patterns directly translate into more real estate demand. The short and long-term future of real estate investment in the Phoenix area looks highly promising. I am available to chat on the phone (602-672-3526)/text anytime; or contact me through email (cstephens@ccim.net); or my website (www.phoenixmulti-family.com).
