Sandalwoods Capital Group

What Sandalwoods Capital Group does

Sandalwoods Capital Group, LLC is a privately held real estate investment firm that acquires Class B, C, and D workforce multifamily housing assets in stabilized and emerging U.S. markets. The firm targets deal sizes between $8M and $30M and operates a value-add strategy combining moderate to extensive renovations (averaging $4k-$6k per unit on interior paint, flooring, and appliances) with management improvements and creative capital structuring to drive Net Operating Income growth over a 5-7 year hold. Target returns are 18-20% IRR with 7-10%+ cash-on-cash returns after year 1, and asset management fees are capped at 1-2%.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven rather than technology-led: deals are sourced off-market through broker, lender, property manager, attorney, accountant, and personal referral networks, supplemented by direct mail, area farming, property locators, and social media. Beyond direct acquisitions, Sandalwoods provides equity and capital markets advisory to multifamily sponsors nationwide through a flexible co-GP model with equity splits of 80/20, 75/25, 51/49, or 50/50, and offers consulting and mentoring services to multifamily property owners and buyers, beginning with a free one-hour multifamily real estate review session. A separate Deal Review submission service gates opportunities against published criteria including 85%+ occupancy and 7-10%+ post-year-1 cash-on-cash returns.

The business is owner-operated by Hassan Omar, President and sole named principal, and is structured as an LLC with its contact office in San Diego, California. Geographic focus is concentrated in Texas markets (with San Antonio highlighted as a primary market) and extends across the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast. The firm markets itself through its website, blog, podcast appearances, and a multi-channel content strategy. No proprietary technology platform, APIs, AI/ML capabilities, patents, institutional funding, or external ownership have been disclosed, and no revenue, AUM, or headcount figures are publicly reported.
