Family-Owned Asset Management Firm

Investing In Cash Flow Assets Since 2008

2008

The story of Bequest began when founders Martin Saenz and Shawn Muneio started investing in real estate. With a focus on buy-and-hold strategies, they quickly gained a reputation for their expertise in residential and commercial properties across the United States.

2013

Bequest officially launched its note-investing asset management program, focusing on owner-occupied residential properties. With a portfolio of over 1,000 notes, Bequest delivered on its proprietary systems around acquisitions, due diligence, and asset management.

2019

Managing Partners Martin Saenz and Shawn Muneio expanded the business to include a 17MM secured private mortgage notes division. A year later, Bequest launched the Income Fund for accredited investors, providing a unique opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolios and earn monthly passive income.

2022

Bequest continued to grow and innovate, expanding into the commercial real estate market with a focus on medical offices. The company acquired 62,000 square feet of medical office space as a syndication offering to investors delivering double-digit returns.

2023

Bequest has grown to over 75M in assets under management, with investors from all 50 states and Canada. They have expanded into energy with the successful launch of the Legacy Fund, offering investors a unique opportunity for further diversification and higher returns.

At Bequest, we are proud of our journey and excited about the future. We remain committed to our core values of commitment, perseverance, and results and will continue to deliver exceptional value to our investors.

The Bequest Difference

Managing Partners Have Skin In The Game

The Managing Partners are the largest investors in the funds. Shawn and Martin believe that anyone asking for your dollars should have skin in the game themselves.

Analyze to Maximize

Bequest is a data centric firm which typically allows us to pre-emptively work through economic cycles before others catch up. We source assets that withstand recessions which is why we focus on value-add real estate and energy solutions.

Not Another Asset Management Company

At Bequest, we specialize in acquisition management, asset management, and operations management. This means, we take full ownership from acquisition to disposition of assets utilizing in-house capabilities and expertise.
