Vision

Davey Ventures invests in real estate and businesses. Through
rigorous evaluation we invest in opportunities that will increase the
return on investment. We diligently work towards mutual benefit and
always treat people fairly and with an emphasis on being socially
responsible.


What We Invest In:

  • Single Family Residences
  • Multi Family Residences
  • 2nd Deeds of Trust
  • Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes
  • Small Businesses


Overview

Through a combination of
  • Purchasing distressed properties, repairing, upgrading and
    selling quickly
  • Purchasing properties where value added improvement will
    increase rents
  • Longer term hold on properties

We develop a portfolio of investments that contribute to Return on
Investment.

When purchasing property we:
  • Do acquisitions where the net proceeds are over a defined
    threshold.
  • Never accept less then positive net rental proceeds, (unless the
    economics are so good that is warrants violating this objective).

Focus on Menlo Park and Atherton.  
  • We also look beyond the Bay Area in California and out of state
  • We enjoy real estate on the East Coast & Montana where we
    have family.

A Little About What We Do

We work closely with a team of professionals including a tax expert,
financial planner, lawyer and several real estate brokers to evaluate
deals that are appropriate.  Like-minded professional real estate
agents and investors help us to locate and purchase residences or
assists that can be acquired for 30% to 50% below market value.   
We create legal entities that will protect any investors and us.
