05 — About
The name is the thesis.
A lone star for where we work, and a phoenix for what we do with what we
buy. Most of the homes that come to us have been written off by somebody —
a bank, an heir, a landlord who ran out of road. Our whole business is
taking those buildings and putting them back into service.
Lone Star Phoenix Holdings LLC is a Texas limited liability company
operating as a principal — we purchase real estate for our own portfolio
rather than listing it for others. That distinction matters when you're
selling: there is no commission, no listing period, and no financing
contingency waiting to fall through in week three.
Staying inside Texas is a deliberate constraint. It means we know the
counties, the appraisal districts, the title companies, and the trades — and
it means that when we structure something creative, we are doing it under
laws we actually practice in.
We would rather do a small number of transactions well than a large number
loudly. If we're not the right buyer for your property, we will say so and
point you toward who is.
