Cedar Creek Capital

Founder & CEO, AJ Osborne, realized that a common barrier for people growing their wealth was often due to the belief that they’re not able to participate a passive investment opportunity without a very large sum of money readily available or that they have to do it on their own. He wanted to create a way for investors to take control from the bottom rather than being controlled by the top so he can help the "everyday" investor achieve financial freedom and he knew he could be the leader to make this possible. As a unique leader in the investing industry, distinguished by the fact that he doesn’t just place capital but has created a fully operational business from top to bottom comprising of universally integrated ecosystems from property management, lending, architecture, marketing, property management software, national branding and more, that work together to find underperforming assets that extract a high-yield. With having the largest self-storage podcast and best-selling book in the industry, Cedar Creek Capital receives constant opportunities that the rest of the market never sees. Even with this surplus of options, AJ and his team are able to recognize and take advantage of the right short and long-term opportunities for their investors while never sacrificing his team’s core values and their long-term mission; Impact, Freedom, & Progress.
