Capital Model
Acquire Tailored Opportunities
AceStone Capital Group structures exclusive, bilateral capital relationships — one capital partner per buy-box, one sourcing mandate per corridor. There are no investor pools, no shared deal flow, and no competing allocations. That structural exclusivity is what creates the negotiation leverage and margin protection behind every acquisition.
Capital Partner Brings
- Deployable capital — from $150K per acquisition to $5M+ per relationship
- A defined acquisition thesis, or capital seeking a measured allocation
- Decision authority and the ability to close on agreed terms
AceStone Provides
- Off-market deal sourcing in selected U.S. growth markets
- Disciplined underwriting and margin engineering
- Direct seller negotiation and contract control
- Exclusive transaction control aligned to a single capital partner
- Repeatable opportunity flow against your acquisition criteria
Structure
The Exclusivity Framework
Capital partners working with AceStone operate inside a defined framework that protects deal integrity, seller relationships, and the repeatability of off-market flow. Exclusivity is what makes the pipeline durable.
One Investor Per Buy-Box
Every sourcing mandate is exclusive. AceStone does not shop opportunities to multiple buyers or create competitive bidding among capital partners. Your buy-box is yours alone.
One Sourcing Desk
A dedicated sourcing operation works within your defined parameters. Market targeting, seller negotiation, and underwriting are structured around your thesis — not a generic deal pipeline.
No Pooled Capital
AceStone does not commingle investor capital, operate funds, or create securities. Every relationship is bilateral — one capital partner, one acquisition mandate, one execution pathway.
Spread-Only Compensation
AceStone earns exclusively on transaction spread. No retainers. No AUM fees. No consulting charges. Compensation is embedded in the transaction — aligned with execution, not time.
Structural Negotiation Leverage
Exclusivity creates leverage. Because AceStone commits sourcing capacity to a single capital partner per corridor, we negotiate with sellers from a position of certainty — producing consistent margin advantage.
Paid at Closing Only
Compensation is earned only at closing, through the transaction structure agreed for that acquisition. No consulting fees, no AUM fees, and no upfront retainers — AceStone is paid only when a transaction is executed on your behalf.

You define either an acquisition mandate (asset class, markets, price and underwriting parameters) or your capital parameters. Opportunities are sourced and evaluated against those criteria and presented privately, not through a public listing marketplace.
Acquisitions may involve private capital or third-party financing, with funding requirements and due-diligence conditions clearly stated in each offer. Each transaction is structured per asset, seller and capital mandate.
Allocation Models
TWO WAYS TO DEFINE YOUR BUY BOX
TYPE A — THESIS-DRIVEN CAPITAL
You define the acquisition mandate. We source against it.
- Target asset class & property profile
- Defined markets or corridors
- Price, return & underwriting parameters
- Opportunities sourced exclusively against your criteria
Best for: partners with an established buy box.
TYPE B — CAPITAL-DRIVEN ALLOCATION
You define the capital parameters. We identify matching opportunities.
- Available acquisition capital
- Target markets or geographic preferences
- Risk, liquidity & hold parameters
- Opportunities matched within those parameters
Best for: partners with capital to deploy but no fixed asset-type-level buy box.
