Founding One Buck Capital
One Buck Capital was founded with a clear purpose: to identify strong real estate and small business opportunities, enhance their performance through disciplined operations, and build long-term, sustainable value. What began eight years ago with a focus on local investments has steadily grown into a diversified portfolio that now includes 35+ co-living doors, a commercial property in St. Louis leased to Starbucks, and warehouse assets in Houston and El Paso leased to Wells Fargo and Floor & Decor.
From the beginning, our approach has been hands-on. We operate the assets we acquire, improve efficiencies, and strengthen cash flow through consistent, strategic management. This operational focus has helped increase rental income by more than 30% across multiple projects while maintaining stability and long-term performance.
Our Growth
Over the past eight years, our team and partners have built and now manage a portfolio that includes 35+ co-living doors, a commercial building in St. Louis leased to Starbucks, and warehouse assets in Houston and El Paso occupied by Wells Fargo and Floor & Decor.
Across the board, we’ve consistently driven rental income up — often by 30% or more — by improving operations, tightening occupancy, and creating smarter tenant experiences.
Our Mission
Our mission is to invest in solid real estate and small businesses where we can add meaningful value, strengthen operations, and build long-term growth. We aim to create outcomes where everyone benefits — owners, partners, tenants, and the employees who keep these businesses running.
