What does MS Realty acquire?

MS Realty acquires operating businesses and investment real estate nationwide, particularly opportunities that do not fit conventional bank financing. We typically look for businesses with $1M or more in revenue and $300K or more in EBITDA or SDE, plus real estate including multifamily, hospitality, self-storage, and commercial properties.

How does the MS Realty buyer network work?

Buyers apply with their acquisition criteria, including size, industry, geography, and financing capacity. MS Realty sources and matches opportunities against that criteria instead of sending every listing on the market, so buyers only see deals that actually fit.

What financing structures does MS Realty use?

MS Realty builds a capital stack around each deal's specific economics: cash and senior financing, seller financing, preferred equity or equity carry, existing debt assumption, or hybrid combinations, depending on what makes the transaction work for both parties.

Does MS Realty guarantee a match or closing?

No. Submitting a property, business, or buyer application does not guarantee a match, offer, financing, or closing. MS Realty evaluates each opportunity on its underlying economics and connects opportunities with buyers in its network only when there is a genuine fit.

How do I submit a property or business?

Submit the basic details, including asking price, revenue, and deal notes, through the Submit a Deal form on the MS Realty website. MS Realty reviews the underlying economics and follows up to discuss potential structures and next steps.

Is MS Realty a licensed real estate broker?

MS Realty does not act as a licensed real estate broker or agent representing either party in a transaction unless separately and explicitly agreed in writing. MS Realty sources, underwrites, and structures acquisitions, working alongside licensed professionals as needed to close.

Real Estate & Business Acquisitions

The deal isn't dead. It just needs different terms.

We structure seller finance, mortgage takeovers, and equity-carry acquisitions for property and businesses that don't pencil for a bank — so owners keep their number and buyers still get a safe deal.

How We Structure Deals

Three ways to get to closing.

Every property or business is different. We pick the structure that makes the numbers safe for the buyer and fair for the seller — never the same offer twice.

Seller Finance

Best for owners who care more about price than speed. Cash up front, monthly payments, and a clear payoff date — documented with a note and deed of trust or security agreement.

Subject-To / Mortgage Takeover

Best for low-equity real estate with a good existing loan. We take over the payments, bring cash to the seller, and keep the loan in place rather than forcing a refinance.

Equity Carry — Business Acquisitions

Best for owners exiting a cash-flowing business. Seller carries a portion at close, first-position debt covers the rest, and the buyer steps in without bringing much of their own capital.

About

Run by someone who still underwrites every deal himself.

Marcus Small founded MS Realty after building his career on creative real estate structuring and, more recently, applying the same math-driven approach to acquiring service businesses. Before this, he built and sold a cleaning company through a seller-financed handoff — so the structures on this site aren't theoretical.

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Marcus brings the same discipline to underwriting that he does to everything else: clear numbers, no guessing, no fluff. Every offer is backed by a real structure — seller note, deed of trust, or security agreement — closed through a title company or attorney, not a handshake.
