Hear from our Clients…
I like to say we were one of Nick and Elaine’s first clients! We bought a duplex in 2019, another property, and are in 2 of their funds. I don’t have to worry about my investments with them. They are just good, solid people who work hard and are always available. They have become our friends. They have an incredible team around them as well.
With investing comes risk. I have been burned by other operators and investments in the real estate space and I am very cautious.
Black Swan has been outstanding! Communication is top notch, investment is always paid on time with them-zero hassles and never a single missed payment. They work extremely hard and they have never failed to deliver in the few short years I have been with them.
I will not invest in any other real estate operator now except for them; they have earned my trust with their reliability, competence, accessibility and delivery of payments. They are top notch! No one comes close.
There are no guarantees in life so I will just say that I would be shocked if you found any investors who had anything other that amazing things to say about Nick/Elaine and the BlackSwan investment family. They are genuinely amazing human beings. Their knowledge is very evident. They update investors every step of the way. They have community hour and offer Q&As.
Elaine is always willing to schedule time to talk with investors. They bring a feeling of ease and certainty during uncertain times. They make educated investments and don’t gamble with investors money. They really understand how to leverage money to maximize wealth building. They really care about tenants and improving for them while also making sure it makes sense for investors. They invest in their team which I ensures that they have team members in place who care about the success of the business. Honestly, the list goes on forever. Truly amazing people to know and invest with!
I am another naive investor who saw them on Facebook and have invested and done the lending and investing since 2019 and very happy with their work ethic and returns of course would highly recommend them.
I have to add even though I had invested in 2019 never saw them face to face until this summer or my properties other than phone call with them. It sounds crazy but I am the most passive investor you can see probably and call it trust or instinct but that’s my story.
If I make a list of people that I would blindly trust with my money, with whom I would be honored to partner in any capacity, who are the definition of integrity, knowledge, transparency, and execution, Nick and Elaine would be at the top of that list, no question. And it’s a very short list of people who are of that caliber. I’ve gotten to know Elaine over the past couple years and I wholeheartedly recommend the Stagebergs and the Black Swan team.
I participated in their lenging program for 2 years – and of course the interests came like clockwork.
After the term was over, they faithfully returned the principal as agreed, and in addition overpaid me by one extra monthly interest. I reached out to them and offered to return the $209 overpayment. They refused to take the money back and rather gifted it to me. So the Emoles had a great dinner last week paid for by the Stagebergs. I don’t take it for granted. I pray many blessings on this couple and their family.
So yes, go ahead, it’s been a beautiful experience with them!

Investment Criteria
We take no asset management fees whatsoever. No acquisition fee, no loan recourse fee, no capital event fee, no disposition fee, on and on. We believe that General Partners fees are a disalignment of interests with Limited Partners (Investors) and therefore we choose not to participate.
100% of all profits go back to our Investors until they are completely repaid. The General Partners do not make a single penny of profit until Investors have received all of their capital back. We encourage people to plan for a five year time-frame for return of capital and we work as hard as we can to make that time-frame as quick as possible!
Our business plan is a deep-value add plan. We target properties that we can significantly improve via physical renovations and management improvements in order to increase the property value enough to do a cash-out refinance. At that time, capital is returned back to Investors, then we all have $0 left in the deal, and we stay in the deal indefinitely (about 20-25 years) in an infinite rate of return with a 50/50 split.
Because we have an indefinite hold period (coupled with all of your capital back to you in the early years!), our investment strategy is incredibly tax efficient. We work as hard as possible to get out many tax advantages (bonus and accelerated depreciation) and then, because the sale is 20-25 years in the future, there is no depreciation recapture for several decades. Wow!
We believe deeply in the power of vertical integration. We work directly with our investors, we broker most of our own deals, we do our own renovations and maintenance, we manage our own properties, we even do our own cleaning, lawn care, and snow removal! By eliminating third parties throughout the value chain as much as possible, we’re able to control quality, consistency, and most importantly, cost. Our goal is to make our buildings as profitable as possible by eliminating excess costs in all aspects of asset and property management.
