Company History
Acquisition Affiliates, LLC was launched in the Fall, 2007 in Brighton, Michigan, as the brain child of founders, Bonnie Steele, Sheldon Smith and Jayne Burch under the mentorship of Adam King. The founders saw tremendous opportunity to help investors avoid the frustrations and pitfalls they, themselves had experienced in the trenches of real estate investing.
The new profession of Acquisition Consultant originally came from The ILOC ProgramTM created by Adam King. The ILOC (Investor Line Of Credit) ProgramTM organizes private individuals to provide Hard Money financing for real estate investors.
The Acquisition Consultant guides the Investor Buyer through the process of selecting the property, purchasing with the ILOC ProgramTM, managing the renovations, getting the property rented and then refinancing into a traditional mortgage.
Acquisition Affiliates, LLC has taken the Acquisition Consultant role to a new level of service by helping clients identify their investing goals, create a business plan, and connecting them to the right properties, funding and property management to realize their real estate goals.
We are members of the National Real Estate Network and The Cooperative Purchase Network.
