ABOUT SIFF INVESTMENT SERVICES

SIFF Investment Services, established in 2003, is a unique blend of financial planning and real estate investment services that results in giving our clients a way to gain greater control over the risk and reward of owning and operating residential income property.

We carefully evaluate our client’s financial situation and create a personal real estate plan, then identify and help acquire property in the Western US that meets the plan’s requirements. We stay involved with property portfolio management and optimization, as well as long-term re-balancing and advisory services. With a management team that comprises more than 50 years in financial planning, tax planning and real estate investing, SIFF Investment Services offers a sophisticated way to include income properties as a component of a client’s overall financial portfolio.

Objective Investing at a Fixed Price

Real estate is more tangible than stocks and bonds – and it is easy to get emotionally attached – to the landscaping, the color of the kitchen, the name of the street, the heated garage. SIFF provides the kind of formal research you would demand before purchasing stock, mutual funds or bonds. Real estate research down to the block and the building is unavailable at the click of a mouse or by reading the local business pages. By objectively reviewing the potential of available properties and evaluating them against your financial comfort zone, we help you choose the right investment. And our fixed-fee model for working with buildings with 2-10 units ensures that we have your interests in mind. Ask us for a quote for researching and managing larger properties.

“Between my young family and very busy job, I literally have no time to evaluate and manage real estate. SIFF gave me the knowledge and confidence to make my first purchase – a four-plex which I bought for its cash-flow. That process worked so well, and I was so pleased with the results, I recently bought my second property through SIFF: a duplex which I believe has good appreciation potential."  Nancy M., account executive, San Mateo, CA
