Why Miami

America's Most Compelling Real Estate Market

Miami is not a cyclical bet, it is a structural story. Persistent in-migration from high-tax states, a booming tech and finance sector, no state income tax, and severely constrained land supply combine to create a sustained demand imbalance that rewards disciplined operators.

Miami home values have appreciated over 60% since 2020, yet inventory remains near historic lows. Neighborhoods like Wynwood, Little Havana, Edgewater, and Hialeah continue to attract buyers and renters willing to pay a premium for renovated, move-in-ready properties, the sweet spot for our Fix & Flip and ADU strategies.

Our team's deep local relationships, with wholesalers, attorneys, contractors, and city officials, give Naqua Capital consistent access to off-market deals before they reach the MLS, protecting investor returns in any market cycle.

Active Market

Active in Hampton Roads, Virginia

Naqua runs an active fix and flip pipeline across Hampton Roads, applying the same off-market sourcing and disciplined underwriting we use in Miami. The region pairs the largest naval base in the world with a stable working population and a median home price well below the national average, creating renovation spreads Miami no longer offers at scale.

We source through local wholesalers, attorneys, and direct-to-seller outreach. Renovation budgets are calibrated to per-square-foot tiers proven on completed projects, not guesswork. Every deal goes through the same ARV stress test, holding cost model, and exit timing analysis as our South Florida work.

Cities we cover: Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk.

Our Story

Built on Local Knowledge, Driven by Results

Naqua Capital was founded by Jafit Morales and Edgar Dasilva, two operators with over 30 years of combined experience across real estate investment, corporate finance, and operations. Both work day jobs in real estate finance at Amazon. Naqua is where they run the deals they would invest in themselves.

The firm is headquartered in Miami Beach and runs an active fix-and-flip pipeline across Hampton Roads, Virginia, with select South Florida activity. Local relationships built over years give us access to off-market deal flow. Disciplined underwriting against a 70 percent of ARV ceiling and calibrated rehab tiers keeps us out of the deals that look good but do not pencil.

How We Work

A Disciplined Investment Process

Underwriting Discipline

Every acquisition runs through one ceiling: 70 percent of ARV minus calibrated rehab cost. Rehab tiers are priced per square foot from completed projects, not estimates. We invest our own capital alongside yours, so we underwrite the deal we would actually do.

  • · Light rehab: $18 per sq ft
  • · Medium rehab: $29 per sq ft
  • · Heavy rehab: $45 per sq ft

Investor Reporting Cadence

You hear from us on a fixed schedule, not when convenient. Capital partners get the same operational view we use internally, including budget burn against scope, milestone dates, and exit price tracking against pro forma.

  • · Monthly project status with photos
  • · Quarterly capital position statement
  • · Final closing statement at exit

The Underwriting Tool Behind Every Deal

We do not guess at numbers. Every Hampton Roads opportunity flows through our internal pipeline tool, gets scored against the 70 percent of ARV ceiling, and gets modeled across three strategies and three financing structures before a single dollar moves.

Investor Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hampton Roads fix-and-flip, the 70 percent of ARV rule, how the private lien works, and what happens when a deal overruns budget.

Hampton Roads offers renovation spreads that Miami no longer provides at scale. Median home prices remain well below the national average, while a 1.8 million population anchored by Naval Station Norfolk provides stable buyer demand. We source across Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, and Suffolk. Miami remains our headquarters and a secondary market for select multifamily and ADU activity.

Maximum allowable offer (MAO) equals 70 percent of after-repair value minus rehab cost. The 30 percent buffer absorbs holding costs, financing, selling costs, and target profit. Every deal we underwrite, whether sourced through MLS or direct seller outreach, runs through this ceiling. If the numbers do not pencil at 70 percent of ARV, we walk.

We use calibrated per-square-foot tiers proven on completed Hampton Roads projects: light rehab at $18 per sq ft, medium at $29, heavy at $45. Tier assignment comes from the listing description, photos, and inspection. We do not guess. A 1,200 sq ft house at medium tier prices to $35K of rehab, not a round number.

Minimum investment is $100,000. Both capital structures, private lending (secured note) and JV equity partnership, are available to accredited investors as defined under SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D. Naqua Capital makes no investment offerings to non-accredited investors. Contact us to receive current deal documents.

When you invest as a private lender, your principal is secured by a recorded first-position mortgage on the subject property. The loan-to-ARV is capped at 70 percent, which means even at exit pricing well below pro forma, the property value covers your principal first. The term is fixed with a stated maturity date, and interest is paid monthly or accrued to maturity depending on the deal structure.

Budget overrun risk is real. We model it three ways: a 10 percent contingency baked into every rehab estimate, calibrated tier pricing that already reflects historical variance, and a backup exit to landlord or wholesale if retail timing slips. Investors get monthly status with photos showing burn against scope. If a deal underperforms, you see the variance before the close.

How Your Capital Is Structured

Two Paths to Participate

Investors choose the structure that fits their risk profile. Both come with the same underwriting discipline and the same milestone reporting cadence.

Private Lending

Fixed-rate notes secured by a recorded first-position mortgage on the subject property. Your principal sits behind real estate collateral with a clear LTV cap, a defined term, and a stated exit. Suited for investors prioritizing capital protection and predictable income.

  • First-position recorded mortgage
  • Maximum 70% loan-to-ARV cap
  • Fixed term with stated maturity
  • Monthly or accrued interest options

JV Equity Partnership

Preferred equity position in a single project or pooled vehicle. Returns are tied to deal performance with a preferred return hurdle before any promote. Suited for accredited investors targeting higher upside in exchange for project-level risk.

  • Preferred return paid first
  • Pro-rata share of project profit
  • Quarterly milestone and budget reporting
  • Available per-deal or as a pooled allocation

All offerings are private placements available to accredited investors only, as defined under SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Contact us for current deal documents and full risk disclosures.
