Marco Cepeda

Marco and Danielle Cepeda are owners of the company DMC Property Pro. Together they manage a collection of over 100 units of residential and commercial property in South Florida and New York which include retail, office, long-term residential rentals, and short term furnished rentals. Danielle has a Masters in Arts Administration and Bachelors in Literature from her undergrad at Washington University. She’s also an academic coach for students who need help with executive function. Marco has a Bachelor of Science in Finance at Stern from New York University and has studied business and real estate since he was 10 years old. For the past 16 years, Marco has been the sole manager of the family business. Since taking over in 2005, it’s grown over 3 times and currently has a net worth of $5M in assets. Along with his wife Danielle, they have full profit and loss responsibility for over $1.89M in gross annual revenues. Together they have been able to successfully navigate their businesses through the 2020 COVID19 pandemic - even increasing their short-term rental rates recently - and got recent press write-ups from local newspapers, detailing how they did it. As owner/investors, they’re looking to apply their combined real estate experience to expand their family’s portfolio, and focus on cash flow management and returns in strategic and competitive ways across the South East Florida markets.

The property location would also need have a high walk score over 70, with residential and tourist aminities within 15 minute walking distance (i.e. grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and a main strip etc) as well as proximity to the beach (i.e. within a 10 minute drive or 2.5 miles). Our management business model is to take a minority percentage of units, about 30-40% of the total, and operate them as STRs to help improve the property and to improve the rental value for long-term residents. This is what we've done at www.palmsyoungcircle.com. If you have anything that meets our general criteria we can give you quick feedback within 1-2 days. Finder's fee starting at $12,000 for any off-market properties 30+ units you may bring us that we buy (i.e. not listed or marketed anywhere online or offline at the time of our signed, exclusive agreement).
