The firm had the opportunity to relocate to a new city, but ultimately decided it was best to grow in Louisville.
CF Capital, a real-estate investment firm, has relocated its headquarters to a new location at 607 W. Main St. The company used to be located in St. Matthews on Chenoweth Lane. Tyler Chesser is co-founder and managing partnership of CF Capital. He said that the company is currently in a growth mindset. This boutique firm specializes in multifamily asset management. Chesser stated that the firm currently manages approximately 900 units in Louisville and Indiana, at a value of between $90 million and $100 million. Bryan Flaherty, co-founder and managing partner of the firm, said that they looked everywhere in Louisville to find a new location. Flaherty stated that "This building in particular offered the energy that matched my culture." "In addition to this, the business community should be investing in Downtown. I believe a city is only as strong and vibrant as its Downtown core. Although the business partners were offered the chance to move the company to other cities, they decided to remain in Louisville. The space needed only minor improvements due to its natural light and exposed brick. CF Capital currently has five employees. A dedicated space is available in the new office for the company's podcast. Elevate is a weekly podcast produced by CF Capital. Chesser stated that the almost four-year-old podcast helps investors to elevate themselves which can help them in their real estate careers. Chesser stated that it's all about mindset, mind-expansion and personal development to be successful real estate investors. We believe in investing, but also in investing in ourselves. The company wants to grow but it also wants to be strategic. Chesser stated that the firm has set a goal to double its portfolio by 2023. The group's current and future acquisitions aim to provide tax advantages, steady cash flow, capital appreciation, and a margin for safety to its investors. Both Flaherty as well as Chesser were on Louisville Business First’s People to Know in Real Estate lists. In 2018, Chesser was on this list, while Flaherty was on it in 2019.
