With an amazing woman by his side, Chad jumped into real estate full-time, and Titan Capital was born. Starting out in the wholesale/fix&flip space Chad has completed over 400 flips in his career. Apartments were always the end goal and Chad was able to take his active income from flipping and began acquiring commercial real estate.  Titan Capital Group is all about creating and preserving wealth. As well as taking care of our tenants, properties, and investors. We seek direct investment opportunities in appreciating, cash-flowing multifamily real estate. Titan Capital purchase value-add assets below replacement cost, allowing us to create equity upside. We then employ operational and management strategies to create stable, maximized returns over the life of the project and upon disposition. Chad has purchased 24 commercial real estate properties, completed 14 syndications, and has taken 10 projects full cycle. With an average IRR of 28% to investors. We are fortunate to have selected good properties with sound debt options and has never had to complete a capital call on any projects.Titan Capital currently operates $122,000,000 in multifamily real estate with majority being in Middle Tennessee.
