Meet ECHO
The basics
What We Do
ECHO invests in a portfolio of net-leased commercial properties, leased on a long-term basis to high-quality Early Childhood Education Center (“ECEC”) operators in the United States. Through our ECHO Capital Fund I, LLC we deliver to our partners a steady income stream distributable on a quarterly basis with potential for long-term gain upon disposition of the Properties.
Our Vision
Service & Relationships.
ECHO has developed a pipeline of properties that puts capital to work in the short-term. Following national trends, we believe that ECEC’s are a necessity, have a long-term runway for success and are internet resistant. They provide the foundation for a viable strategy of real estate investments and ownership that is expected to produce steady income and the potential for robust gains in the future.
