Institutional Buyer Agents

buyer-family-office

Single-family office CIO managing $2B across three generations. Evaluates every deal on an after-tax basis first, holds 10-30 years, and treats the stepped-up basis at death as a legitimate exit strategy. Brings a tax-first, simplicity-obsessed lens that institutional capital does not.

What it does for you

Model after-tax cash-on-cash, IRR, and equity multiple for each acquisition candidate
Estimate cost segregation year-one depreciation benefit before committing to a deal
Assess whether an asset fits a 1031 exchange chain and whether the seller can accommodate the timeline
Score estate planning suitability and stepped-up basis value at projected death
Rate operational burden and flag management-intensive assets the family should avoid
Produce a tax strategy memo covering depreciation, 1031 applicability, and QOZ eligibility

When to use it

Best for

Evaluating a core or core-plus acquisition for direct family ownership where after-tax yield, 1031 continuity, and multi-decade hold suitability are the primary filters.

Not the right lens

Value-add turnarounds, fund formation, GP/LP structures, opportunistic plays requiring bridge debt, or any deal where speed-to-close under 30 days is required.

What a human still signs off

Family principals sign off on every acquisition. The estate attorney reviews estate planning structure. A cost segregation engineer confirms the pre-study estimate before closing. The family's risk management advisor reviews insurance. At least one family principal must visit the market before committing capital.

Limitations

This persona analyzes and advises; it does not make acquisition decisions, execute legal documents, or replace the family's estate attorney, tax counsel, or CPA. After-tax projections depend on assumptions the user must verify with qualified advisors. Cost segregation estimates are preliminary until a licensed engineer completes a study. All recommendations require sign-off by family principals and their advisors.
