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.

Before Mark Cuban was worth $5,700,000,000…

He rented a $600/mo apartment with 5 roommates.

In 2017, Cuban talked about the mindset that led to his first $1 million:

“I wanted enough money to be able to travel, have fun, and party like a rock star but still live like a student.”

Cuban talks about a book he read:

Cashing in on the American Dream: How to Retire at 35 by Paul Terhorst.

The premise: 

If you can save $1 million and live like a college kid, you can retire early. 

It’s one of my favorite pieces of wealth-building advice:

“Life like a college student as long as you can.”

Flexibility and optionality are cheat codes as an entrepreneur.

But once you're locked into an expensive lifestyle, your flexibility disappears.

The window of opportunity closes.

So take Cuban's advice:

• Live like a college student as long as you can.
• Keep renting with roommates.
• Drive an old car.
• Save.
• Invest.
• Repeat. 

Your future self will thank you.

🎙️Try Life On Podcast Host 💵 Managing Partner, Quattro Capital 🌏 98 countries | Investor | Freedom Coach 📚 Used 9-5 jobs + passive income to beat the system

A little about me...

I'm an investor, entrepreneur, restaurant owner and explorer of 99 countries. I host the Try Life On Podcast, and coach professional 1:1 on wealth and freedom, helping you build lifestyle you don’t need vacation from.

In 2021 I retired from the 9-5 world after 25 years as Senior Executive at Accenture, a global consulting firm. Was also a Federal Agent through my US Air Force military service. I retired after 22 years as Lt. Colonel. And I became a midnight police officer later in life for the Montgomery County Police Department as a means to give back to local community. Yes, all at the same time.

Along with partners, founded Quattro Capital, a private equity firm. I’ve acquired roughly $250M in real estate with investor partners. I started buying real estate in my 20s as a means to capture time freedom to live more. 

I have strong passion for living life leveraging freedom principles (time, financial, location, purpose & relationships) and started Try Life On Media to help others do the same. The Try Life On podcast and speaking engagements are my joy. 

I love to say I used real estate, passive income, lifestyle design principles combined with leveraging my three 9-5 professional careers to beat the rat race and build lifestyle I don't need vacation from. I’ve completed that mission and now my passion is to help others do same.
