The founders

Two operators who run what they recommend.

Next Play Capital is run by its two founders. They walk the properties, price the renovations, sit at the closings and answer the phone, and afterward they manage what you bought.

How we work

Small on purpose. Direct by design.

There is no sales team between you and the people doing the work. The person who underwrote your property is the person who reports on it.

01

We manage what we sell

Every property we help you buy, we run afterward. If the underwriting was wrong, we are the ones living with it every month.

02

We pass on most of it

We walk far more buildings than we recommend. A plan is only as good as what we refuse to put in it.

03

We report in writing

Monthly statements and lease dates live in your portal. When something goes wrong, you hear it from us first, with the plan to fix it.

Next step

Talk to the people who will do the work.

Twenty minutes with one of us. We will tell you whether this fits before anyone talks about a property.
