ABOUT – Deaton Equity Partners

Committed To Delivering Exceptional Investor Returns

Our Vision:
A Commitment To Excellence!

We are committed to helping investors like you achieve their financial and lifestyle goals by investing in and improving multifamily community properties.

Our Investment Strategy

Along with our strategic partners, we search for and acquire properties in markets with strong economic and demographic trends. We target multifamily properties with capital and operational value-add opportunities that deliver excellent cash flow streams, leverage forced appreciation and equity gains, and provide tax offsets through depreciation. Our stringent vetting and underwriting process uncovers asymmetrical risk opportunities and recession-resistant properties that will thrive in all market cycles.

Committed To Providing Superior Returns For Investors And Safe, Vibrant Communities For Residents

Mike is a successful real estate investor, experienced Supply Chain executive, coach and entrepreneur. He has over 30 years experience running international Supply Chain organizations in Fortune 50 companies and has successfully transitioned into business entrepreneurship, owning and operating 3 successful companies with his wife Ligia.

Mike’s experience in leadership, operations and coaching gives him a unique perspective and the sharpened skillsets necessary for finding, analyzing, and executing on superior investments. Understanding macro-level market forces; building outstanding, high-performance teams; and translating those resources into sharp execution yield superior results.

Mike believes the true joy in life comes from giving back and as such, he finds purpose in providing as much value to others as he can. He loves nature and finds ways to spend as much time outdoors – hiking, trail running and simply appreciating the beauty of life as he can.

Ligia spent the early years of her career contributing in multinational companies of various sizes, where she learned the importance of building strong networks with a diversity of people and having a keen attention to detail. Since she and her husband began their own business in 2017, her interest in creating wealth through real estate investments has continued to grow. She now sees multifamily investment opportunities as one of the best ways to deliver substantial, recession-resistant returns.

Ligia is a proud Romanian-American who enjoys hiking in the Colorado mountains, being outdoors and spending time with her husband. And when not outdoors, her primary focus is to educate and leave a legacy of generational wealth for her beautiful and growing family.
