Management

Over 20+ years, Mr. Shakhshir has experience in both large corporate and smaller, entrepreneurial environments that blend the structure and rigor of larger, mature organizations combined with the creative, hard-working and entrepreneurial environment of smaller organizations. This experience has included real estate backed investment analysis, acquisitions, due diligence and capital markets, portfolio management and dispositions among other skills. 

With Falcon Capital Management, Mr. Shakhshir is responsible for underwriting analysis on prospective acquisitions and investment strategy. Previously, his experience spanned over 25 years of accomplishments in mortgage capital markets, fixed income, consulting and investor relations. Over the past several years he has focused his energies and intellect specifically upon commercial real estate investment management including: 

Deal Sourcing and Acquisitions 

Over the past 10+ years, I have a track record of sourcing acquisitions targets (26 acquisitions | $302 million purchase price | SW, MW & SE markets), underwriting pro forma cash flows for different types of investments, modeling alternative joint venture equity waterfall structures, budgeting, hands on transaction management experience for acquisitions, dispositions and onsite due diligence.  Targeted 17% project level IRR while achieving 29% IRR on 10 full turn (acquisition, management & disposition) investments. One of the proudest facts I would share with prospective investors is that we have a track record of buying only 1 out of 100 investment opportunities that are considered.

Investment Analytics

Using highly sophisticated, proprietary underwriting model to conduct best in class analysis to identify financial trends, risks and opportunities.

Strategy

Researched and compiled quantitative and qualitative information about alternative commercial real estate asset types and comparison of numerous domestic markets to select a new territory for acquisitions.
