Overview

Crimson Opportunity Funds are high-return, closed-end investment funds that concentrate on acquiring undervalued real property for the purpose of improvement and re-sale. The Funds maximize investor returns by adhering to short holding periods and liquidating holdings as soon as our value-additions are complete. 

The Crimson Opportunity Funds operate in lower-risk markets. The Funds seek out redevelopment opportunities in high-population-growth areas, then renovate, re-tenant or convert multifamily or commercial properties in order to unleash their greatest potential value.  This strategy has produced superior returns over the past decade, as the population of the Western and Southern United States continue to expand and migration from Mexico and baby-boomer weather migration cause housing needs continue to grow.

Historical Returns

The Management Team of Crimson Opportunity Fund I has been providing exceptional investor returns on development and redevelopment projects since 1993.  Average returns net of all fees to investors has been 30% for our most recent funds.  Expected returns for any potential opportunity must be a minimum of 30% per project.

 

Crimson has never had a negative return on a project.

We pool the capital of private investors into closed-end funds which we, in turn, invest in at least three real estate investments.  This allows private investors to take advantage of the exceptional returns of developmental real estate while benefiting from the reduced risk of a portfolio structure.  

Fund I was closed and fully distributed in 2005 with a return to investors of 30%, net of all fees.  Crimson Opportunity Fund II was closed to new investors in April 2006 and is currently invested in two projects.  

Crimson Opportunity Fund III exhibits the same Fund strategy, management and exceptional return hurdles as previous Crimson investments and is OPEN to new investors until the end of October 2006.  You may view investment information from our latest offering, Crimson Opportunity Fund III here.
