About A3 Properties and Investments, LLC
WHO WE ARE
A3 Properties is a real estate investment company founded by Rich, Aaron, and Olivia Amador. We are based in Orange County, California where we were raised and have lived our entire lives. A3 Properties and Investments purchases, renovates, and sells properties along the coastal cities of Orange County. The Southern California real estate market is unlike no other and one that we hope to share and explore together with you.
OUR GOALS
The OC lifestyle attracts people from all around the world. From world-class beaches, dining, and shopping, coupled with a relaxed and easy-going pace of life, Orange County offers one-of-a-kind opportunities to live, work, and play. A3 Properties intends to contribute to the flourishing OC real estate market by purchasing, renovating, and designing luxury homes with innovative and quality-driven interiors.
In 2023, A3 aims to acquire 8-10 single family and multi-family residences. We can achieve this goal by continuing to partner with reliable lenders and nurture relationships with new partners, all while delivering predictable returns in an efficient manner.
OUR APPROACH
A3’s uniquely developed ‘comping’ methodology allows us to acquire properties with a high potential return for our investors. By applying strict parameters to the properties we consider , we can accurately determine a purchase price, selling price, and margin on our investments. Our systems allow for both on-market and off-market opportunities. With a market as diverse as Orange County, our approach enables us to discover every potential lead and take swift action.

Deal Analysis: What You Can Expect
When investing in real estate, you can expect to make money ‘On the Buy’.
The acquisition process must make financial sense for all parties involved. Our ‘comping’ methodology is designed to effectively measure the potential return on investment while mitigating risk associated with each property lead.
METRICS USED
The following metrics help us determine if a potential property is a sound investment. Each opportunity you are presented with will include the below information to better help you decide if the investment is right for you.
For each subject property, a minimum of four comparable properties will be assessed. The comping criteria is as follows:
- Property Type
- Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms
- Living Space Square Footage (+/- 20%)
- Lot Size Square Footage (+/- 2,500 sq. ft.)
- Built within 5 years
- Price Per Square Foot (+/- 20%)
- Last sold within 6 months
- Same Subdivision
- Not across from major streets or highways
- Located within ½ mile
Each comparable property is given a ‘Quality Grade’ based on any recent renovations or upgrades. After the criteria have been assessed against each comparable property, a score from 1-10 will be assigned. This allows us to determine if the subject property is a solid investment with an appropriate purchase price and After Repair Value or ‘ARV’.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
- We do not consider properties with high mortgage balances and low estimated values as potential opportunities.
- Every property is assessed for current liens against the property that may interfere with our buying process.
- We do consider properties that are in Pre-Foreclosure, Foreclosure, Probate, and Trusts. Public information is referenced and taken into consideration.
- Our Return on Investment (ROI) is determined both by a percentage amount and a dollar amount as it relates to the estimated selling price after renovations. All buying costs, holding costs, and selling costs are factored.
- A3 Properties partners with professional designers and licensed contractors. We benefit from below-market rate for our projects through these partnerships.
- The Maximum Available Offer (MAO) considers the above criteria and is presented to the seller.
