A Message from Patrick Grimes, Founder & CEO of Passive Investing Mastery
Thank you for stopping by. You’re likely exploring how real estate can still deliver outsized returns, even when market conditions look shaky. We launched our Recessionary Acquisitions Fund in 2023 specifically to seize opportunities that appear when others retreat. By finding distressed operator deals—not distressed properties—we’re able to capture equity and roll our profits forward in a tax-advantaged way to create true compounded growth.

How the Recessionary Acquisitions Fund Works
Identify
Distressed Operators, Not Distressed Properties
We buy assets from owners who are distressed, like those who are underwater on their finances, facing balloon payments, or have other reasons to need to exit quickly.
Cash Buy
All-Cash, Quick-Close Strategy
Paying cash could secure an immediate discount and potentially lead to a swift close—often beating out higher but slower bids.
Refi & Redeploy
Refi & 1031 Exchange
We aim to refinance tax-free, redeploy proceeds into new deals, and roll gains forward through 1031 exchanges—deferring taxes.
Grow
Shorter Holds, Rapid Velocity
We typically target 10–18-month windows to flip or reposition these properties for optimized returns.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime environment—like 2009–2010—except this time, we’ve come prepared with a demonstrated buy-refi strategy that’s already delivering results.
High Interest Rates & Eviction Slowdowns
Many operators used adjustable-rate loans or counted on rent growth that never materialized.
Balloon Payments & Financial Duress
Owners forced to refinance at today’s higher rates risk negative cash flow or foreclosure.
Our Advantage
We solve their urgent liquidity needs, acquiring quality assets.
A 38.2% Annualized Return—Since Launch in 2023
It sounds too good to be true—until you see it in action. Since launching in 2023, our Recessionary Acquisitions Fund has achieved a 38.2% Actual results as measured by Fund accounting includes the total return, realized and unrealized gains. The running average of the monthly returns since inception annualized. While past performance can’t guarantee future results, we believe this momentum reflects a fundamental market opportunity: distressed operators selling high-quality assets.
