Creating A Better World with One Single Investment Started In 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.
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 and Shawn expanded the business to include a 17 million secured private mortgage notes division. A year later, Bequest launched the Income Fund for accredited investors. This provided a unique opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolios and earn monthly passive income.
2022
Bequest continued to grow and innovate, further expanding into the commercial real estate market with a focus on medical offices. The company acquired 61000 square feet of medical office space as a syndication offering to investors.
2023
Bequest now welcomes investors across all 50 states and Canada, providing enhanced diversification and superior returns through the successful launch of the real estate and energy-centric Legacy Fund.
2024
Bequest is proud to introduce The Bequest Legacy Fund. Most firms only offer investment options to accredited, or wealthy individuals. The Bequest Legacy Fund brings our proven investment offerings to ALL types of investors.
