Real estate investment, rooted in the Central Coast.
Casa Fresco is a private investment company that partners with property owners and investors across residential, commercial, and industrial real estate — on California's Central Coast, and now in Fresno County.
A broker and a builder, investing their own capital.
Casa Fresco is a private investment company working two California regions — the supply-constrained Central Coast and the Central Valley around Fresno. We buy residential, commercial and industrial property, underwrite each against the constraints that actually govern it, and build the work ourselves.
Behind the company are a licensed California real estate broker and a licensed contractor. That combination is the point: we can source a deal, price the construction, and stand behind both numbers.
Three ways in. One standard of execution.
Whether you're holding a property with potential, want to sell one without the listing circus, or have capital looking for a home — we keep everyone's interests on the same side of the table.
Partner on Your Project
You own — or have found — a property with a project in mind. We bring capital, underwriting, entitlement work and our own construction crews, and you keep exposure to the upside instead of selling it at today's price.
How partnering works →Sell to Us Directly
No listing, no showings, no repairs. Tell us about the property and we make a written, as-is offer backed by our own capital — on your timeline, in either region.
How a direct sale works →Invest in Our Projects
We source and underwrite our own opportunities across both regions. Qualified investors participate deal by deal, alongside our own capital, in local assets you can drive past — not a blind pool.
How investing works →Four strategies, chosen for these markets.
Across residential, commercial, and industrial property, our strategies are built around what can actually be entitled, built, and rented in each region.
ADU & Unit Additions
Legal units added to under-utilised residential parcels, built by our own crews.
Land & Infill Development
Buildable lots in towns where housing demand outstrips supply — and we know the value traps.
Commercial & Industrial
Tired retail, office, industrial and flex bought below replacement cost, then repositioned.
Multifamily Value-Add
Small multifamily with renovation, added units, and operational upside.
Two regions. Two very different opportunities.
Supply-constrained coastal markets where value is created through entitlement and construction — and a Valley market where it's created at the purchase price.
San Luis Obispo & Santa Barbara counties
Paso Robles and Morro Bay down through Arroyo Grande, Santa Maria, Lompoc and the Santa Ynez Valley to Goleta and Santa Barbara — markets we track parcel by parcel.
Where we work →
Fresno County & the San Joaquin Valley
Coastal multifamily trades at 4.25–5.5% cap rates; Fresno trades at 5.5–6.5%. That spread is why exchange capital moves east over Highway 46 — and why we buy and build there.
The coast-to-valley thesis →We don't just fund the work.
Two capabilities most investment firms have to buy from somebody else.
We build it ourselves
Renovations, ADUs and ground-up construction run through our own licensed California general (B) and plumbing (C-36) operation. No contractor markup stacked on the budget, no schedule held hostage to someone else's backlog, and numbers that come from a builder rather than a spreadsheet.
In-house construction →We can tell you what it's worth
Our brokerage side holds Realtor association and MLS membership in both regions, so a valuation rests on verified local sales rather than a national estimate. Broker price opinions from a licensed broker; formal appraisals coordinated through licensed independent appraisers.
Valuations & appraisals →Under a 1031 exchange deadline?
Identifying the right replacement property on a fixed timeline is where exchanges succeed or fail. Tell us your price range, property type and income target, and we put continuous MLS screening to work across both regions — then hand you underwritten candidates, not a raw listing dump.
We coordinate with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor. Casa Fresco does not provide tax or legal advice.
