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 Southern California real estate. Every decision that matters is made by a principal — and every dollar we manage sits beside our own.

Ryan Monemi

General Partner — Acquisitions & Capital

Ryan leads the firm's investment activity: sourcing, underwriting, capital structuring, and lender relationships. He brings a quantitative, systems-driven approach to acquisition analysis — every assumption modeled, every downside scenario priced before a deal moves forward.

Trained as an electrical engineer and published in IEEE, he treats an apartment building the way an engineer treats a system: measurable inputs, controlled execution, and performance that has to be verified — not assumed.

Dr. Saeed Monemi

Principal — Operations & Asset Management

Dr. Monemi has been buying, renovating, and selling Southern California residential real estate for more than four decades — through every rate environment, recession, and recovery since the 1980s. Long before "value-add" was an investment category, he was walking properties, writing scopes, and managing crews to bring undervalued homes back to market.

At Monemi Capital he directs everything that happens on the ground: construction oversight, contractor management, and the physical operation of each property through renovation and stabilization. His parallel career in the utility industry — where large-scale infrastructure demands exacting standards for planning, maintenance, and execution — set the bar he holds every project to.

Heritage

Forty years in the making.

Monemi Capital wasn't assembled around a pitch deck. It formalizes a family practice that has been operating in Southern California residential real estate since the 1980s.

1980s — The Foundation

Saeed Monemi begins acquiring and renovating Southern California homes — hands-on, one property at a time, doing the work most owners hire out.

Four Decades of Cycles

Buying, repositioning, and selling residential real estate through booms, recessions, and recoveries. Basis discipline, learned the only way it sticks: with your own capital on the line.

Today — Monemi Capital

The second generation adds quantitative underwriting and capital-markets rigor, and the family practice formalizes into a multifamily investment firm.

How We Work

What you get when principals run the firm.

Direct Oversight

No layers between decision and execution. The people who underwrote the deal are the people standing on the property making it perform.

Aligned Capital

Our own capital is invested in everything we own. We feel every outcome our partners feel — first.

Earned Judgment

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