Why I do this

From ministry, to landlord, to mailbox money.

I spent 15 years in ministry with Campus Outreach. Along the way I bought a duplex across the street from our house. For ten years it paid us about $600 a month, and that was a real blessing.

Then we had kids. Every nap time I was running across the street to fix something. Self-managing was problematic at best. I had basically given myself another job.

So I went looking for a better way: the income of real estate, without the hassle. That is passive investing. Today I help other busy families do the same, so their money can work while they focus on what matters most.

What you get

The upside of real estate. None of the 2 a.m. calls.

You invest alongside us as a limited partner. We and our operating partner do the work. You receive distributions, quarterly updates, and a K-1 at tax time.

Monthly cash flow

Passive distributions paid monthly while you hold the investment.

Mailbox money

Consistent, passive income. No tenants, toilets, or 2 a.m. phone calls.

Tax advantages

Depreciation flows through on your K-1 and can offset passive income.

Targets, not guarantees. Every investment carries risk, including loss of principal. Watch: Are there guaranteed returns?

How we’re structured

A capital partner, working on your behalf.

Oak & Vine is a capital partner. We raise capital from our investors and deploy it into Rise48 deals. Because we come to the table as a group, we negotiate preferred economics on our investors’ behalf, which often means better terms than you would get going directly to Rise48 as a retail investor.
