Ed McManus started his real estate career in 1994 and in 2008 founded a registered investment advisory firm. With a solid understanding of the dynamics and language of investing and real estate, Investment Grade Realty was born.
He quickly recognized the need for institutional and high net-worth investors to find investment grade real estate beyond what the national chains had to offer. Ed founded CapRateBuyer.com to help investors meet this need with an emphasis toward creating the ability to "register" their real estate investing interest. As a buyer's brokerage, sellers of investment grade real estate are also able to "register" the property they have for sale to help investors find exactly what they're looking for.
