The Principals

Two generations. One standard.

Monemi Capital is owned and operated by a father-and-son team of engineers, backed by more than four decades of hands-on residential real estate. Every decision that matters is made by a principal, and our own capital is invested in everything we manage.

Ryan Monemi

General Partner — Acquisitions & Capital

Ryan is General Partner of Monemi Capital and oversees acquisitions, underwriting, capital structuring, and lender relationships. He is responsible for the analysis behind every acquisition the firm pursues, from rent and sales comps to renovation budgets and debt structure.

He holds a bachelor's in electrical engineering and has published research through IEEE, and is pursuing a master's in financial engineering at USC. That quantitative training carries directly into the firm's underwriting: assumptions are documented, models are tested against verified market data, and every deal's results are measured against the original projection after closing.

Dr. Saeed Monemi

Principal — Operations & Asset Management

Dr. Monemi has more than forty years of experience buying, renovating, and selling residential real estate in markets across the country. He learned the business hands on, walking properties, writing renovation scopes, and managing construction crews through multiple recessions and recoveries.

Aligned Capital

Our own capital is invested in everything we own, so we share every outcome our partners experience.

Earned Judgment

Four decades of renovation scopes, contractor bids, and market cycles, plus the engineering habit of verifying everything that can be measured.
