For over 25 years, MAK Commercial Properties has steadily sustained and increased value in properties. Since we commenced operations in 1995, our strategy has been to acquire commercial multi-tenant properties with quantifiable upside potential in smaller to medium locations using 65-80% bank leverage. Our management team can increase occupancy, expense reimbursements, and lease rates to market levels.
We have strong relationships on the ground with locals in the regions where we own properties. We can easily add new investments into our portfolio seamlessly. Our management staff has designed systems and accounting templates to take on new properties efficiently. Our investment structure provides an attractive preferred return to our investors paid monthly and a share in excess cash flow generated above preferred return payments.
In total, over $350,000,000 of multifamily, office, and retail properties have been cycled through MAK Properties. Currently, the Kaufman portfolio consists of over 1.3 million square feet comprised of 17 properties located in Texas, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, and California.
Our Team
Mark Kaufman
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Mark Kaufman, 67 has been involved in the syndication, management, renovation, financing, development and disposition in real estate since 1984.
Mark was featured on the cover of Money magazine in March, 1985 for the successful investment and rehabilitation of properties within Los Angeles. During the 1980s, Mark Kaufman also developed an 11 unit luxury townhouse project in West Hollywood, a rehabilitation of a 30,000 square foot office building in downtown San Bernardino, extensive earthquake renovations of sixteen units in Sherman Oaks. He also successfully entitled shopping center sites in Rancho Cucamonga and low income multi family projects in Los Angeles during this period.
In the mid 1990’s Mark began syndicating real estate investments beginning with smaller apartment buildings in the Los Angeles region. Over the ensuing years, the enterprise expanded its focus from smaller residential local acquisitions to larger projects across several states and medium sized commercial, primarily retail properties.
The stabilized valuation of the Kaufman Properties current portfolio is in excess of $170,000,000 with over $80,000,000 in investor equity. MK Property Management Services, Inc, an entity that Mark Kaufman is the President and owner of, currently manages all of these properties in some cases with co management from local real estate professionals.
