RueOne Investments · Real Estate
We buy value-add apartment communities, and the right opportunistic deal.
Multifamily is our focus, anywhere in the United States. We also buy hotels, industrial, office, retail, mixed use and land when the deal makes sense.
What brokers ask us first.
Straight answers, before you spend time packaging a deal for us.
Are you a real buyer?
Yes. RueOne Investments has invested from New York since 2016. You deal directly with Jeff Baehr, Founder and CEO, at 21 West 46th Street, 16th Floor.
What have you done?
Our core team has completed 40+ private-market transactions together since 2016. Our real estate advisors have each spent about 35 years buying, developing and managing commercial property. We keep deal specifics private and will walk you through our experience on a call.
What do you buy?
Value-add multifamily first, plus hotels, industrial, office, retail, mixed use and land. The full buy box is below.
How fast do you respond?
Quickly, on every deal, and from a principal. Time to close depends on diligence and financing.
Do you buy distressed?
Yes. Note sales, REO and receivership are welcome, as are off-market and pocket listings.
Will you show proof of funds?
Yes, once we are under LOI on a specific deal.

How a deal moves with us.
You know who is reviewing your deal and what comes next.
Step 1
You send it
The offering memorandum, rent roll and T12, or what you have today. Off-market and coming-soon are welcome.
Step 2
Quick feedback
Jeff Baehr reviews it and you hear back quickly: yes, no, or what we need to see.
Step 3
LOI and proof of funds
When a deal fits, we work toward an LOI. Proof of funds comes once we are under LOI.
Step 4
Diligence and close
Timing depends on diligence and financing. Then we own it for the long term.
How we invest
Direct
Our own capital
We buy directly with our own capital. On larger deals a small group of trusted co-investors invests alongside us, and the decision stays with us.
Co-invest
Alongside sponsors
We also co-invest alongside strong sponsors, case by case.
Send us your deals.
Offering memorandums, rent rolls, coming-soon and price-reduced listings all go to one inbox. Every deal gets quick feedback.
