Eddie Stiefel

Founder & Managing Partner

Ed Stiefel grew up in Paramus, New Jersey where he began his early career working construction and learning the ins and outs of the business from the “in the field” perspective. In 2012, with determination to advance his construction and real estate career to the next level, Ed relocated to Florida where he attended Florida Atlantic University studying Business Administration, during which time he started his own company (Preferred Painters) and began performing renovation projects for third party clients. Around that same time, Ed began acquiring his own properties, beginning with an Air BNB acquisition in New York City and several residential flip/reposition properties in New Jersey, Arizona, New York, and Florida which he built a contracting team and self-performed all of the improvement work.

Ed has a proven track record of performing on mid to large scale improvement projects ranging from $200,000 to $1 million+ budgets, and consistently completing projects on time and on budget. His successes include multiple projects acquired at below replacement/market value, repositioning them, and thereafter selling on a cap rate basis or refinancing all equity out based on forced appreciation. With his unique combination of an extensive construction background and business acumen acquired throughout the process of multiple successful real estate projects, Ed brings a great amount of operational and project management value to value-add real estate projects.
