I have been with these guys a few years, and they have been great! Incredibly transparent and their communication is the best out of any sponsor I have been with. Very rarely do I not get a response same day (whereas most sponsors take days, or ignore you all together). They put out a monthly newsletter with quick updates on all projects. As an investor I actually feel appreciated no matter how small or big my investment may be -- and that is also rare. Really enjoy working with these guys. They also put out fun and informative content via their weekly podcast on Youtube (@TheCriterionFund) -- be sure to check them out and see for yourself! -Rich

I've invested in a number of real estate deals, and none have matched the performance, transparency, and personal touch that SIH capital has provided. Denis got to know me and my objectives, and his team have delivered thus far. Bigger names haven't been able to match his standard, and I look forward to future investment opportunities with SIH.

I'm very pleased with my investment in the Arabella Capital Fund thus far. Quarterly distributions have been consistent, but I've also really enjoyed their communications emails. Since it's a fund, they have assets being acquired and sold throughout the year. Seeing photos of the different projects at their various stages is really cool knowing that your investment dollars are tied to all of it. It's nice to see the diversification from land development, to short term rentals, to self storage. The photos they include are great visuals to coincide with the updates they are discussing within the emails. I'm considering investing more capital in their fund.

From working with Denis and investing with him, I can say he is a sincere and energetic sponsor. He goes above and beyond to ensure all questions are answered and has been beyond transparent when I've asked questions about the financials. The deal quality and deal flow is constantly improving and is very impressive. I believe it is a great time to begin forming relationships with this group.

Worked with Andrew on the acquisition and re-tenanting of an auto store in Vegas. Communication was great, followed through with the business plan, and is a great partner. Would work with him again and recommend him to anyone looking to place capital. He has a strong market knowledge and is a wonderful partner.

Troy Eckard, the principal, of Eckard is extremely passionate about the oil and gas industry and works tirelessly to educate his partners on the space. I previously invested in a couple of other oil and gas deals that have performed poorly and learned so much from Troy about the right questions to ask and due diligence to perform which would have helped me avoid the prior investments. He truly cares for his partners/investors like family and wants us all to succeed as a collective. This type of honesty and transparency is a rare find today. Looking forward to partnering with Eckard on future mineral rights and working interest projects!

Ekcard Enterprises is an oil & gas company specializing in land acquisition, oil & gas exploration, and pipeline development. The COB Troy W. Eckard has been in the oil and gas business for 40 years. It's one of the few honest and trustworthy oil and gas companies to invest in. My wife and I have been investing with Eckard Enterprises for almost 3 years. We have mostly invested in land acquisition, where we buy actual real estate that the billion dollar oil companies like Exxon drill on. We receive royalty income every time they drill and activate their wells. We have also invested in a 3 well drilling project and invested in a LNG pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. They are a diverse company with great leadership and a wonderful team that makes the company run very smoothly. We have found them honest, transparent, and highly knowledgeable. They do a tremendous job of educating their investor partners. We have had a ROR on our investments with them of over 20%. It's been a good investment for us. It not only provides monthly income, but is also a lifetime asset if should choose to hold on to your mineral acres/real estate.

I'm new to the real-estate investment space. I consider myself lucky to have found SIH early on. SIH has been phenomenal with presenting and executing the business plan of deals, having an honest and conservative approach along the way. I am always in the loop with updates on my investments. I have no issues getting my questions answered either. It has been an absolute pleasure to invest with Denis and SIH and I would do it again. Thank you!

I've known the founders for 15 years, have purchased mortgage notes from them and am an investor in the Reliance Fund. The founders are reliable, astute businessmen and just generally very nice people. I believe they've put a good team in place and the company has consistently made interest payments as promised. I have recommended PPR Capital Management to other investors.

I invested with Touro on a multi-family value add deal in Dallas in June 2022. Bad timing, I know. I believe Touro has been doing a good job navigating a difficult market. They are very diligent about sending a monthly investment update that clearly outlines all the major numbers including occupancy, rents, and units upgraded. The property has been struggling with higher vacancy than expected. That has prevented them from raising rents as much as they had projected. They have been working hard to fill vacancies with better PM and marketing. One area that was handled well was interest rate changes. The team had an interest rate cap in place and was able to weather the touch interest rate environment without getting liquidated. They also had a plan in place to be flexible on when they sold. This should allow them to continue operating the property profitably for a few more years if needed until they can get a good exit cap rate and make sure the property is fully leased. Summary: This investment is likely performing poorly due to interest rate and market rent factors, but the sponsor mitigated the major risks that could have liquidated the investment and has communicated well through a tough environment.

My wife and I have invested with them for about a year now, but have known them for 2-3 years. I got to really know them through a Mastermind group we were apart of. We have done 3 investments with them. We like them because it is easy to do business with them. They have a new investor portal that makes it convenient to see investments in real time. They also have a helpful and knowledgeable investor relations department and staff. Another thing we like is that they have a few different options to invest in. Their Reliant Income fund has terms of 6mo, 12mo, & 36mo at different interest rates accordingly. Their returns have met our expectations and have always been on time. We did a 6mo investment with them and wanted a redemption after the 6 months was up and it was given back to us in full. They do have 90 day redemption period, meaning you have to contact them 90 days before you want your money returned.They also offer a car wash investment that is more of an equity long-term play as well with good returns. I haven't invested in that yet. Good company with a good track record, longevity, and large asset base to back them up. I would and have invested with them multiple times.

I have invested with Denis in two separate deals, and I hope to invest again in the future. He spent time getting to know me, and he has never tried to sell me an investment that doesn't align with my goals. His underwriting is conservative and extremely detail oriented; and he is transparent about both risks and potential upside. Denis provides regular updates, and he is quick to respond to questions.

Very pleased with SIH so far. I have been talking to their team for years. Denis is phenomenal, never hard sold anything, leaned on education and relationship building. His deals are conservative and I appreciate their communication more than anything. This team does not play things fast and loose like many in the syndication space. I want to increase my allocation to SIH over time.

I met Denis a few years ago, and from our very first conversation, his integrity and genuine commitment to helping me achieve my investment goals were unmistakable. It was clear I had encountered someone truly unique in the private equity space. I’ve been investing with SIH Capital for several years now. While not every investment has been perfect—because no investment journey is—it’s the way SIH handles challenges that sets them apart. Their transparency when things don’t go as planned, coupled with their creativity and tenacity to resolve issues, has consistently reinforced my trust in them. One story in particular highlights their integrity. SIH presented an investment opportunity I was eager to participate in, but after discussing it with their team, they advised me not to invest because it didn’t align with my goals or portfolio. Think about that—what private equity firm turns down money for a deal? They reassured me that they’d find an opportunity better suited to my objectives, and they delivered on that promise.

I invested with Dovehill as one of my first syndication investments. Their communication and updates have been excellent! They provide great updates on not only the property but others in the area including a star report which shows how the property benchmarks compared to others in the area. They provide clear communication on how their business plan is going and if anything has changed since the last quarter.

I've known one of the principals for many years through RE investing and conferences. I am more of a passive investor now and I can trust PPR. I am confident in PPR's ability to deliver, they have built the infrastructure over time to support what they do. Payments come on time and they are always available to answer questions.

I have known Denis for several years and have invested in multiple deals with SIH Capital. They are extremely detail-oriented, organized, and innovative. I was looking for investments that were not correlated to our other holdings, which were concentrated in traditional stocks and real estate. The communication and clarity both before the investment and after is top-notch and substantially better than other big-name private equity investments we have.

There was a time when Kenny Wolfe was charismatic and seemed incredibly knowledgeable. The investment we made with him has been a disaster. He managed the property incredibly poorly, and eventually a large LP had to step in and take over control of the deal. They found ignored major repairs (such as leaks and water damage), bad bookkeeping, high crime rates, and an occupancy rate under 50%. Wolfe did a capital call - and squandered the money without turning the deal around. We'll be lucky if we get our money back on the deal.

Poor experience with Latigo so far. I am in Noble Vines/Hadley in Cape Coral. Poor execution. Keep calling for more capital calls but no explanation as to what they hope to accomplish with the additional capital or if sinking more money in will get the project to a better place. Just recieved an email if we don't contribute another 1.5 million in the next week the loan will default.... but no other communication if they are buying a rate cap, refinancing or....? Not impressed with communication or execution so far...
