Divya Tandon
General Partner
Divya has 20 years of experience working on various real estate investments. Divya began her professional career as a Senior Systems Analyst at NASDAQ, including monitoring core trade execution and coordinating requirements for solutions to business problems. Due to restrictions as a NASDAQ employee, she began investing in real estate. Divya quickly saw the huge upside and stability investing in real estate could offer.
Divya’s first real estate investment acquisition occurred in 2004 with a Queens, New York rental building. While living in NYC, she continued to acquire, manage, and grow her investments. Multifamily real estate investment quickly became her passion. As a result, Divya developed a niche in the Class B/C workforce housing sector. After finding success with many residential and commercial value-add projects, she relocated to Buffalo, New York, in 2013. Since 2013, Divya has continued to have fantastic success with her projects throughout Western New York.
Divya acts as an asset manager and third-party manager for several properties and has broadened her scope of ownership and management. Divya’s strengths include analyzing value-add projects, construction development, and property management. Divya is very goal-driven and believes it's essential to invest in every project she takes on personally. She prides herself on delivering services true to the core values of her company: loyalty, honesty, and transparency. As a first-generation immigrant, Divya is very thankful for the opportunity this country has given her and works with youth programs to teach financial responsibility to young adults.
Nickolas Nenno
General Partner
After receiving his master's in Instructional Technology, Nick's first passion was education. Almost simultaneously, as he began his career as a special education teacher, he was helping to manage and develop his first real estate portfolio in Buffalo. Special Education is often a thankless profession that can easily be unvalued in the business world; however, it provided Nick with immense experience with visual and digital communication, data-tracking, and research skills. These skills were easy to adapt to help develop his successful real estate projects in WNY.
Nick has already experienced significant success as a part-owner of a multi-million dollar residential property network. His total real estate assets have more than tripled in value. This success inspired him to transition from teaching and join his partner Divya in Investment Real Estate. Nick focuses much of his time securing financing, building broker relations, and regular communication with investors. Nick utilizes his experience with property management and education to help make important decisions related to current assets and investments. He specializes in keeping good data on market trends and vital real estate statistics.
