What Kompas does

Kompas Group (doing business as The Kompas Group) is a privately held real estate investment and syndication firm headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. Founded in 2016, the company acquires, renovates, and manages distressed Class B and Class C multifamily apartment complexes in Northwest Dayton, positioning itself as a "resurgence leader" in revitalizing under-utilized properties in the Greater Dayton market (population ~800,000) and the broader Cincinnati-Dayton corridor (~2 million residents). The disclosed portfolio comprises two named assets — Green Forest Apartments (27 units, 16,230 sq.ft, built 1968) and Salem Crown Apartments (21,510 sq.ft, built 1969). The firm runs an integrated model with an in-house construction company and hands-on property management to execute value-add renovations that drive both rental income and appreciation, targeting projected investor outcomes of 5-9% annual cash-on-cash return and 16-20% IRR over a five-year hold.

Kompas raises capital deal-by-deal through private-placement syndications sold directly to SEC-accredited investors with a $50,000 minimum investment. As syndication sponsor, it earns acquisition, financing, construction/renovation, and asset-management fees, and it operates the underlying rental product for working-class residents. Investor acquisition is referral- and relationship-driven, supported by a website with an accredited-investor qualification form, individual property Facebook pages, and a third-party resident portal. The company reports no institutional backing, no parent company, no disclosed management team, and no proprietary technology stack.

Per-door acquisition prices rose from approximately $10,000 in 2016-2017 to more than $25,000 by 2019, reflecting both Dayton market revaluation and a shift from deep-distress buying to value-add execution in a rising market. Revenue, AUM, deal cadence, and headcount are not disclosed; the firm's website carries a 2026 copyright indicating ongoing operations, while the public portfolio page shows placeholder zero values, limiting visibility into current scale.

Revenue model

3. Syndication fees and management income: As a syndication sponsor, The Kompas Group earns fees for acquiring, financing, remodeling, and managing properties on behalf of investor partners.
