Stark Equity Group

company profile

Based in South Florida since 2001, Stark Equity Group began operations in residential property management services as Professional Pest Solutions LLC. The company spun off the marketing and pest control businesses to Terminix in 2007, and we turned our attention to residential property investment utilizing our existing low cost property management network of home repair and remodeling contractors and materials suppliers. We have developed a successful business model that identifies profitable real estate investment opportunities to help the passive investor realize his financial goals.

We select liquidated properties after a robust inspection and market analysis, acquire them at a 40% to 60% discount off the retail housing market value and remodel them for the highest resale value. With a cleaned title and financing available, we quickly resell them to retail investors or to the public at a slight discount to the current market.

Why Us?

Because we are at the right place at the right time and you can join us now. We are good at what we do and have the track record to show it. You can invest on your own and take a chance at doing it right, or invest with us and let us do the work while you receive a consistent rate of return on your investment – secured and guaranteed. Our competitive advantage is our exceptional ability to consistently deliver substantially higher profits than the retail market through strategic price leveraging. We buy properties at large discounts in areas where there is significant demand, perform a high quality renovation at a low cost and sell quickly due to the quality and price that we deliver through our network of our realtors and pre-qualified investors. Whether we resale repossessed properties for a profit or rent long term for monthly income our established network of business associates and efficient operating model ensure success and profitability every step of the way.

We Offer Access to the Wholesale Market

We build long-term business relationships with the local banks, real estate agents, and title companies and offer the average property investor unique access to the wholesale real estate market. With foreclosed home inventories increasing in South Florida, our company and industry growth projections continue to improve. This is the right time to be selectively buying foreclosed homes and we are the right organization in the right place to grow your investment.

We Buy Properties at a Discount

While typical retail markets struggle during a negative market cycle, we continue to ensure and achieve our success by acquiring deeply discounted properties and processing them within a short time frame. As prices fall, our costs go down and more buyers are able to afford to purchase our properties. When prices rebound, we will continue to offer homes at below market rates. We pay cash for “problem” properties in areas where there is a current demand, and we have the labor and suppliers in place to completely renovate homes at below market rates. This offers another unique advantage to our investors in our ability to acquire properties at huge discounts through ongoing volume of purchases from wholesale sources and through our hands on relationships with local labor and suppliers.

In-House Processing for Less Risk, Better Transactions

Our investors also benefit financially by our ability to link the buyer and the seller, complete remodeling and close the sale, all within our own established network. Our advanced business model minimizes potential risks, while executing steady profits for every level of investor. Our primary goal for the future is to grow through following our proven strategy to benefit ourselves, our customers and our investors.

We are staying close to home, implementing this business platform through direct management in our local market where we can control costs and ensure success for the entire process. Stark Equity Group would like to be your property investment partner and your source of prudent investments in residential real estate.

Here is an example of an investment opportunity, from start to finish:

A foreclosed, single family home valued at $150,000 after repairs is purchased for $75,000 at the courthouse or directly from the bank (through a short sale or from the Real Estate Owned department).
The home is remodeled at an average cost of $30,000, the title is cleaned and the property is quickly sold to homeowners or investors for approximately $135,000 at a discount to current retail market prices.
The same home may in turn be sold to another inside investor or listed through an authorized agent at the full market value, but we are more interested in getting the property sold as quickly as possible to minimize any market risks for our investors.
These homes are sold quickly on the retail market for a price that is under market value, with closing contributions added (10% to 15% under current market levels). Projected gross profit for each completed resale is $10,000 to $25,000 per transaction.
On a $100,000 investment at approximately 4 months for each transaction cycle, investors earn $12,000 to $15,000 in annual returns depending on level of investment.
Both levels of investors have a substantial profit spread to ensure the return on their investment and the group continues to grow through reinvestment of excess profits. This success is due to aggressive price leveraging and the ability to handle the entire process in-house, including acquisition, financing, remodeling, sales and title processing.
In all purchases, Stark Equity Group as managing partner of Stark Equity Trust along with associate investors share in the ownership of each property. We purchase single family homes within a $150,000 to $300,000 resale price range in pre-selected neighborhoods.
