Finalists for Commercial Investor of theYear

Think Realty has five Humanitarian of the Year finalists, unlike our other categories where the field was narrowed to two. It is particular- ly noteworthy that all five were also nominated in other categories. Read about them in the profiles above or skip to page 8 in the Inves- tor Review supplement to read more about the causes that inspired members of our judging panel and our nominees in every category.

TAMMY PHELPS-KEGLOVICH DIRECTOR OF ACQUISITIONS & MANAGEMENT, CAPSTONE INVESTMENT ACQUISITIONS & FOUNDER, CAPITAL CITY REIA

Tammy Phelps-Keglovich is the founder of Capital City Real Estate Investors Alliance (ccREIA). At Capstone Management, she and her husband, Jim Keglovich, lead the acquisi- tion, repositioning, stabilization, and management of 15-to-150-unit properties in multiple U.S. states. Part of that process includes renovating many of those properties to establish maximum value within their communities. “Building communities where we can make a last- ing and profound difference in the lives of others is why we are here,” she said. Phelps-Keglovich and her husband recently “purged” the majority of their physical possessions in order to move on- site into one of their newer communities to better participate in repositioning that investment. “We’re dedicated to giving our residents truly awesome communities to call home,” she explained.

“Tammy is not just a landlord buying up commercial properties. She is creating communities at every property she and her husband control,” wrote the colleague who nominated her. “Additionally, she invests her time and passion in other investors [through ccREIA] to teach them how to use commercial property investing to create financial independence and legacy.”

STEVE DOWN FOUNDER, FINANCIALLY FIT, EVEN STEVENS SANDWICHES, THE FALLS EVENTS CENTERS

100,000 LISTENERS

Steve Down is the founder and CEO of Even Stevens, a sandwich shop that has become a force for sustainable change in the communities it serves, and The Falls Event Cen- ters, innovative and state-of-the art event facilities that are rapidly becoming “the place” to hold business gatherings, dream weddings, and family events. “For every sandwich sold, Even Stevens donates the value of that sandwich to a local non-profit which, in turn, feeds the hungry,” Down explained. Even Stevens has already donated more than 1 million sandwiches in its two years of business. The Falls Event Centers also support Down’s “cause capital” concept, offering free facility space to local non-profit partners from their unused inven- tory. Both endeavors meet Down’s priorities of making a difference in the communities in which he in- vests while also turning a profit. “I invest in real estate because it is a hard asset and provides preservation for your investment during the wealth creation phase,” Down said. “Steve has an unwavering commitment to building businesses that change lives and communities for the better,” said an investor who nominated him. “He’s helped more people than can be counted through his cause capital philosophy.”
