Residential & Commercial Real Estate Investing
The stories of time have taught prudent individuals who listen, some very crucial lessons. A few of those lessons worth committing to memory in our opinion are as follows:
The Story
John Jacob Astor
1819
1836
1873
I
am sure you are aware that many of today’s wealthiest individuals have amassed their fortune through Real Estate. John Jacob Astor is known as the first American multi-millionaire. The son of a German butcher, his story began in the late 1700’s as he created a monopoly as a fur trader. Growing weary of the industry’s demands and challenges, John moved to New York where he diversified his endeavors into Real Estate. After several years of purchasing assets in Manhattan, Mr. Astor sold off all of his interest in the fur trading business focusing exclusively on Real Estate opportunities, growing his fortune from $250,000.00 to $20,000,000.00 by the time of his death in 1848. By the way, you may be familiar with one of his holdings still held by his family located on Park Avenue, called the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
1893
1929
1950
Consistent declines in the Stock Market along with financial issues abroad have preceded same within the Real Estate sector.
In each instance several “pioneers” seized the opportunity to capitalize on the tragic course of events to fortify their holdings.
And now as then, a window of opportunity has opened. HIS Capital Group along with its prudent team of entrepreneurs and private investors understand that a great transference of wealth is upon us. History has proven again and again that the people who thrive are those who work together. By working together our opportunities in Real Estate are endless. Can you afford not to take advantage of this historic time of the history of the world?
Bond Rates, CD rates and even institutional financing rates have reached all-time lows for years while lending restric tions tightened even after market corrections occurred.
1974
1857, 1873, & yet again in 1893. And of course foremost in all of our minds (especially considering current trends) is the Great Depression of 1929. The Real Estate cycle did not recover till the 1950’s and flourished until the next “Bust” in 1974. A consistent theme here is each crisis was preceded by a steady decline in the stocks of a major commodity.
With today’s most advanced technological resources, we’ve concluded that one consistent trend is evident; Markets will collapse. In fact, since the early 1800’s U.S. Real Estate markets have experienced a major “Boom” followed by a “Bust” on average of every 18.2 years. Without going into great detail (you can Google that!) The first major American Depression was in 1819 with problems stemming all the way back to the War of 1812 (In future pages you will understand why 1812 is significant to our investors). Banks were forced to call in loans, foreclose on farms, which in turn resulted in many bank failures. Then it was the Panic of 1837 (the second longest), again in

Our Core Beliefs At the root of our success is history. Ownership, specifically ownership of land, was the basis of all the investment opportunities we see today. From Andrew Carnegie (who at the age of 20 invested in his first business by leveraging his mother’s home) to Warren Buffett, the ability to understand that “change is the investor’s only certainty” is key to consistent returns & long term growth. They also believed that wealth should be distributed to promote the welfare of other people & enrich society. Our investment approach is fueled by our core beliefs. We believe in the power of ‘sowing seeds” and “reaping a harvest”. By providing value, current real estate education, and a viable investment platform we empower passive investors to create generational wealth, while inspiring them to pursue philanthropic endeavors across the globe. “It is better to be early than too late in recognizing the passing of one era, the waning of old investment favorites and the advent of a new era affording new opportunities for the investor.”

Cumberland Harbour St Marys Georgia
Cumberland Island is one of thirteen barrier islands on the south eastern tip of Georgia. This historical area with its 18 miles of white sand beaches, and dense maritime forests are among the most pristine anywhere. Purchased for $38 in 1787 this serene wilderness of Atlantic coastline was once a strategic battle staging area during the Revolutionary War. As years passed many facts about the Island have been uncovered, however none more startling than one which changed the history books. It is now known with certainty the fort at Point Peter was the site of the last battle waged in the War of 1812. Now a protected National Seashore, we are proud to add this historic jewel to our growing portfolio. Today, Cumberland Harbour is a private and prestigious community combining its storied history and natural beauty with the finest amenities.

Signature Project:
Lakeview Village Opp, Alabama
Throughout history as incomes have declined the demand for lower cost housing has risen. While it is difficult to pinpoint, some say the first appearance of the mobile home dates back to the travelling European gypsies of the 1500’s. In the states our first glimpse was on the outer banks of North Carolina in the 1870’s. When the tide rolled in teams of horses were used to relocate the home. Next would come the automobile pulled trailers of the 1920’s, originally made for camping. The Great Depression caused a major population shifts as hundreds of thousands of people moved to other regions to escape poverty and to start new, fuelling the need for a family to be mobile. World War II saw veterans returning home to find a lack of affordable housing & jobs difficult to find, fuelling the demand for an alternative.
Today, there are over 38,000 mobile home parks ranging in size from 5 to over 1000 home sites (with all the amenities) in the U.S. alone. These parks create an abundance of opportunities for Investors to capitalize in any economic climate. Ironically, the City of Opp, Alabama (also known as the City of Opportunity) is home to another of our recent acquisitions, Lakeview Village. Featuring over 45 acres, 112 pads & situated within an hour drive of the sugar white beaches of Florida’s Gulf, Lake View is symbolic of the many reasons why we acquire such assets. • As of 2010, over one billion people, one-sixth of the world’s population reside in Mobile Home Parks • High demand in down markets • Affordability • Cash flow • Income Stability
Warren Buffett made a substantial portion of his fortune by manufacturing trailer homes.
Highlights • 45 Acres • 112 Lots • Beautiful Lake • Florida Gulf Coast

This majestic estate mansion was built by Sir William Barker in 1790 and passed on to his nephew Chambre Brabazon Ponsonby serving as home to the Ponsonby family from 1770 until 2008.
