F Street's New Strategy to Partner with Advisors & Family Offices | Ep 27
Fri Jan 30 2026
How does a real estate operator build bridges with RIAs and Family Offices? In this episode, Mitch Ferraro sits down with Michael "Shep" Sheppard, F Street’s new VP of Capital Markets and a former RIA founder, to discuss the intentional strategy behind our institutional growth.
Shep brings a unique perspective from the other side of the table, having built and sold his own RIA. He explains:
• Why RIAs & Family Offices Are Looking at F Street: Our role as a non-correlated, stable source of passive income with deep downside protection.
• The "Hidden Gem" Thesis: How our 16-year track record, municipal partnerships (TIF), and multiple exit paths differentiate us in a crowded market.
• Direct Access to Decision-Makers: The cultural advantage of a "get shit done" partnership where investors can speak directly to the principals underwriting the deals.
• The Three Sleeves: How we fit into a portfolio with private debt (10% target), multifamily development (18-24% target IRRs), and industrial acquisitions.
If you're an advisor evaluating alternative investment partners or an investor curious about our disciplined growth, this conversation reveals the "how we think" behind the "what we do."
