Florida Real Estate · Acquisitions, Renovation & Development

Disciplined capital.
Distressed opportunity.
Real returns.

UBM Ventures buys distressed and off-market property across Florida, renovates it in-house, and holds or sells on our own timeline. The same underwriting discipline is now building our next chapter — ground-up mobile home park development.

Florida Counties of Operation

Track record reflects transactions closed July 2021 – March 2026. Refinance and rent figures reflect actual operations or executed appraisals; in-progress refinances are noted as such.

What We Do

A Vertically Integrated Platform

Sourcing, renovation, leasing, and disposition are controlled in-house at every stage — no general-partner hand-offs, and no execution risk between phases.

01 · FIND

Sourcing

Distressed and off-market sourcing across four Florida counties — direct broker relationships, motivated-seller acquisitions, and hurricane-damaged inventory other buyers won't touch.

02 · RENOVATE

Value-Add

From light cosmetic refreshes to full gut renovations, ADU conversions, and storm-damage recovery — managed across an established in-house contractor network.

03 · EXIT

Sell or Refinance

Every acquisition is underwritten with two live exits from day one. The strongest BRRRR deals in the portfolio have recycled up to ~99% of invested capital at refinance.

04 · LEASE

Operate

Three operating models — long-term, mid-term (30-day minimum), and short-term vacation rental — matched asset-by-asset to maximize income per property.

What We Build

Four Lines, One Discipline

The same acquisition and underwriting playbook applied across four property types — including the community-scale development we're building toward next.

Fix & Flip

Single-Family & Small Multifamily

Acquired at a discount, renovated to retail-ready condition, and sold at market validation rather than held on hope. Six completed sales to date.

Recent sales: 4–25 days on market · up to 96% of ask
BRRRR Rental Portfolio

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat

Thirteen active assets across single-family, duplex, and small multifamily product, operated as long-term, mid-term, or short-term rentals depending on the asset.

$720K+ annual gross rent · up to ~99% capital recycled
Multifamily Value-Add

Apartment & Duplex Packages

Larger acquisitions renovated unit-by-unit and stabilized for cash flow or institutional-scale disposition — anchored by a fully-leased 12-unit property in Winter Haven.

$201,600/yr gross rent on the anchor asset alone
Mobile Home Park Development
Expansion Focus

Manufactured Housing Communities

We're applying the same underwriting discipline — land entitlement, infrastructure buildout, and in-house operations — to ground-up and value-add mobile home parks, extending our platform from single assets to community-scale development.

Strategic Insight

Operational concentration drives execution edge

  • 10 doors cluster around South Highpoint (Verona Ave + Westminister Ave) — shared property management, contractors, and tenant pool.
  • Pinellas County is 74% of the portfolio — deep market intelligence and broker relationships.
  • Strategic expansion into Hillsborough, Polk, and Hernando diversifies without diluting expertise.
  • Florida-resident operator. Every asset sits within roughly 90 minutes of our Clearwater base.
Underwriting Discipline

What Discipline Looks Like

Not every deal goes to plan. In 2022 we bought a waterfront property in St. Petersburg intending a straightforward flip. The renovation ran roughly three times longer than planned, and the luxury waterfront market froze behind it. Here's what changed in every deal since.
01 · TIMELINE

Contractually-Enforced Renovation Schedules

Every renovation since runs on tighter, contractually-enforced timelines — carrying costs compound fast at every asset size.

02 · EXIT RISK

Dual-Exit Underwriting From Day One

No property is underwritten as flip-only anymore. Every deal carries sell-or-refinance optionality from the start.

03 · SIZING

Smaller, More Numerous Deals

Capital is spread across more, smaller acquisitions instead of concentrated in one large asset that can move the whole portfolio.

04 · ZONING

Rental Licensing Verified Before Closing

Short-term rental eligibility and zoning are confirmed before acquisition, not discovered after.

05 · EXPOSURE

Weather & Market-Correlation Awareness

Price points and asset classes most exposed to storm-driven demand swings are weighted accordingly in acquisition targets.

Meet The Operators

Three Disciplines, One Roof

Sourcing and construction, capital strategy, and creative deal structuring — each partner runs a different discipline behind every acquisition.

Portrait of Meke Kattan
Sourcing & Field Operations

Meke Kattan

Started a clothing manufacturing factory in Argentina at eighteen and ran it for nine years before emigrating to Israel, where he co-founded a national entertainment company that grew to 250 employees and reached 100,000 children a year through corporate and educational programming. Since 2018, Meke has built a renovation contracting business with a deep bench of trusted tradespeople — the operational backbone behind every UBM renovation.

Portrait of Uri Soglowek
Capital Strategy & Underwriting

Uri Soglowek

A fourth-generation member of the Soglowek family business, anchored by the largest meat producer in the Middle East. Uri's early career was spent as Chief Strategy Officer for an institutional luxury developer, working on nine-figure branded-residence towers with partners including Aston Martin, Rolex, and Karl Lagerfeld. He has partnered with Meke for 21 years, contributing capital strategy, comp-driven underwriting, and UBM's proprietary deal-screening model.

Portrait of Beau Vuillemot
Deal Structuring & Growth

Beau Vuillemot

Spent over a decade building food-supply and hospitality ventures — from wholesale bread distribution routes to a design-led pastry brand and training academy — before founding an e-commerce brand he bootstrapped from zero to more than $50 million in annual sales ahead of a 2021 exit. Beau now applies that same operating and growth discipline to real estate, structuring creative deals that turn smaller acquisitions into outsized returns.
