Ashley and Kyle,  are the Co-Founders & Co-Owners of Ace High Partners, Bar Down Investments, LLC, and have almost twenty years of combined real estate experience. Specifically, they have been involved in over 40 million of multi-family properties consisting of over 449 units in Texas and Ohio. The Wilsons have invested as both limited partners and general partners which has provided good insight on the overall ownership of apartments. Ashley’s speciality is with asset, lender, and construction management, investor relations, marketing, and business organization, while Kyle’s is in acquisition, sales, market research, negotiation, underwriting and deal structuring. Collectively, they oversaw a 124 unit value-add project with a ~1.7million CapEx budget, yielding a $150 per unit increase in rents.

Ashley & her father, Tom, also have a very successful high-end flipping business in Pennsylvania, HouseItLook LLC, which handles several million in transactions annually.

Prior to resigning from the pharmaceutical industry, she led a 5 million dollar project, which included managing 17 Global Project Managers as the Director of Project Management.

Her experience in this role, coupled with her experience running a high-end flipping company in Pennsylvania, while living in Europe, demonstrates her exceptional ability to manage projects from afar.
