Our Mission

Solving the Affordable Housing Gap

At Eight Stone Equity, our mission is to help solve the affordable housing crisis—one property at a time.

We specialize in acquiring distressed or undervalued homes, revitalizing them to meet Section 8 standards, and providing quality housing for families in need. Every home we improve contributes to stabilizing communities, preserving neighborhoods, and expanding access to safe, affordable living.

Our goal is both impact and performance—delivering consistent returns for investors while creating measurable social good.

Our Acquisition Advantage

We source affordable properties through multiple unique pipelines—many of which are not available to the public.

Our sourcing channels include:

  • County tax deed auctions and distressed-asset platforms

  • Pre-foreclosure and probate opportunities

  • Off-market wholesale networks across multiple states

  • Long-term partnerships with banks, municipalities, and housing authorities

These channels allow us to buy below replacement cost, rehab efficiently, and bring properties back into circulation for long-term Section 8 tenants.

Building a Section 8 Portfolio

Our focus is on building a large-scale Section 8 portfolio across key Midwest markets—targeting homes that can generate steady income while serving the community.

Each property goes through a standardized acquisition and rehab process, ensuring safety, compliance, and long-term stability. We work closely with local Housing Authorities to meet all HUD standards and pass initial inspections quickly.

By combining technology, field operations, and dedicated management teams, we create a repeatable system to scale affordable housing efficiently.

Our Process (Investor-Friendly)

We’ve designed a turnkey process for investors:

  • Acquire undervalued assets below replacement cost

  • Rehab to safety and compliance standards

  • Stabilize with long-term tenants and Section 8 approvals

  • Refinance or Hold for cash flow and appreciation

Investors receive transparent updates, photos, and financial reporting at each milestone.
