Investment Strategy
At SwiftCity Capital, we are focused on providing the best opportunities and value for our investors. Principal and founder Drew Pitchford has built and maintains strong relationships in the markets where we source deals. This allows us the opportunity to analyze hundreds of deals to find the very best ones that provide tremendous upside with as little downside as possible to our investors and partners.
SwiftCity Capital partners with a world class asset management team to ensure that, once closed, the deal is operated at maximum efficiency and the projected business plan is implemented. We focus on A and B class assets in the Nashville, TN MSA, Chattanooga, TN MSA, and the Atlanta, GA MSA, though we are opportunistic in other markets as well. Our typical business plans are either a lite value-add or loss to lease play which provide solid upside but remove much of the operational risk of heavy repositions.
Unlike many, SwiftCity Capital prefers to use long term fixed rate debt on all projects. This hedges interest rate risk over the hold period of the investment. Additionally, by choosing 5-10 yr terms on our debt, we give ourselves plenty of time to ride the market cycles and exit the investment at the most opportune time.
Core Values and Purpose
At SwiftCity Capital, our core values form the foundation of everything we do. We are guided by a relentless drive for progress, an unyielding sense of urgency, and an unwavering commitment to efficiency in every task we undertake. These principles are not merely abstract ideals but actionable commitments that define how we operate, innovate, and deliver value to our investors and partners.
Our relentless drive for progress ensures that we are constantly pushing boundaries and seeking new opportunities. We believe that growth comes from challenging the status quo, striving for excellence, and embracing the journey of continuous improvement. This drive fuels our ambition to set new standards for success, both for our organization and for those who entrust us with their investments.
We approach every initiative with a sense of urgency, understanding that time is one of the most valuable resources we possess. Acting decisively and with purpose allows us to seize opportunities, adapt to challenges, and maintain a competitive edge in an ever-evolving market. This urgency ensures that we remain proactive, agile, and fully committed to delivering exceptional outcomes without delay.
Equally important is our dedication to efficiency in every task. We strive to make the most of our resources, ensuring that every action is purposeful, streamlined, and impactful. By eliminating waste and focusing on high-value activities, we maximize productivity and create sustainable value for ourselves and our stakeholders.
Together, these values serve a higher purpose: to maximize potential. At SwiftCity Capital, we believe in exercising our unique talents and gifts to their fullest extent and empowering others to do the same. Whether through strategic investments, innovative solutions, or partnerships built on trust, our mission is to unlock and amplify the capabilities of our team, our clients, and our investors.
By embodying these core values—progress, urgency, and efficiency—we aim to not only achieve financial success but also to inspire personal and professional growth, setting the stage for limitless possibilities.
