Investments Overview
National Diversified FundS

Our National Diversified Funds (NDFs) are diversified along the three dimensions of risk management: Strategy, geography, and Asset Class.

A typical NDF of $12-15 million will generally invest in 8-10 projects, with $1 to 3 million per project. This amount enables us to get exclusive access to premium projects and often receive better terms than small investors.

SHort Term INcome Fund

Our Short Term Income Fund (STI) provides investors with significantly higher income (7-8% annually) compared to money markets with a good level of liquidity.

It’s diversified among 200+ loans. It’s run by commercial bankers, who apply rigorous underwriting. STI is taxed at the lower REIT tax rate (20% at federal level), resulting in tax savings for many (consult your CPA).

Why invest in real estate?
Hedge Against Inflation and Reduce Volatility
Historically, real estate is a great hedge against inflation. Many investors are moving their capital to real estate during these high inflationary times.
Get off the stock market roller coaster and dismal bond returns by investing in real estate!
  • Why Us?
After seventeen years of active real estate investing, Lon Welsh looked for an easier way. He started selling rentals to invest passively using his NDF strategy. Thirty-five passive investments later (Funds 1–4), he is on track to earn 15-20% annual returns. He decided to launch Ironton Capital to allow accredited investors to invest along with him.
  • Why Now?
Here’s the great news! In the current real estate market cycle of higher interest rates, passive investments make about as much money as active real estate investing. There's potential for similar returns, but without the hands-on real estate management work and associated headaches, which is a win in our book.
  • Why You?
Whether you're an active investor or new to real estate investing, Ironton Capital is here to help you achieve your investing goals. Many people have wanted to invest in real estate, but didn't have the time to hunt, find and manage rental properties. Passive investing with Ironton Capital is the "Easy Button!"

What Our Investors Say
Heidi-Headshot-Website-Main-1200x1200
heidi wendling

Investing with Ironton Capital provided my husband and I with an unmatched level of confidence and ease after undergoing thorough due diligence with Ironton management, tax professionals, our financial advisors, as well as, running comparative investment analysis.

The National Diversified Fund (NDF) provides us access to a geographically and sector diverse real estate portfolio that is carefully curated given well-defined investment parameters, targeted sub-markets and established development partners.

Relative to other bespoke, privately offered real estate funds, the structure, transparency and modest approach of NDF is well-suited for investors that have the capital to put at risk, but are perhaps newer to the investment class.

I have known and had the pleasure of working with Lon for many years.

Lon’s approach to investing in real estate and other business ventures has always been very thoughtful, analytical, and deliberate. 

Lon takes the time to really understand what he is looking at in a particular deal and thinks it through from multiple angles. He invests based on principals and a proven methodology while maintaining a very grounded approach to his analysis. 

Lon’s investment platform takes a very unique approach to identifying and underwriting investment opportunities based on historical analysis and proven modeling techniques.

Although real estate investing can be a lucrative and rewarding venture, it comes with its own set of risks. When considering my personal investment options, I have placed a strong emphasis on the relationships and trust within those relationships. 

I chose to invest with Ironton Capital not only because of the potentially strong returns they offer, but also because of the collective expertise and experience of the founders. Their track record of making sound, responsible investment decisions gave me the confidence and conviction to invest in the fund. 

It is clear that the founders of Ironton have the knowledge and expertise to make informed, strategic decisions with my capital, while also prioritizing safety and responsibility.
