Our Roots
Vantage Capital Partners is the product of its founder’s vision to build upon his experience growing up in a South Florida real estate family to form a boutique real estate investment and development firm. After forming several portfolio companies focused on the acquisition and rental management of distressed single-family homes, fractured condos, and small multifamily properties, David Gorson formed Vantage Capital Partners with a strategy of value-add acquisitions and development primarily in the multifamily space.
Our Evolution
Between 2011 and 2016, David Gorson was actively involved in the acquisition and repositioning of single-family homes, small multifamily properties, and distressed fractured condominium and HOA portfolios in South Florida. Capitalizing on the success of this program, Gorson transitioned to acquiring and developing mid-sized multifamily properties throughout South Florida which became the impetus for forming Vantage Capital Partners.
