Investment Focus

Multifamily Acquisitions

We actively underwrite 20–50 unit multifamily assets that offer compelling value-add opportunities and strong fundamentals in growing markets. We self-fund or partner with select joint venture partners on acquisitions.

Private Credit

We allocate capital to vetted private lending opportunities alongside experienced operators, generating consistent income-oriented returns through carefully underwritten real estate debt.

DealFlowPro

We built it because we needed it.

DealFlowPro is our proprietary AI-powered underwriting platform — born from our own deal pipeline. It automates broker email processing, extracts key metrics from OMs, rent rolls, and T-12s, and delivers LOI-ready analysis in minutes instead of hours.

Every deal Zuma Capital underwrites runs through DealFlowPro first. Now it's available to operators, syndicators, and small PE teams who need the same edge.

Team

JB
Joel Bechtel
Co-Founder & Managing Member

Started investing in rental properties at 19 — over 35 years ago. Founded and ran a software company for 18 years before completing an asset sale in 2014. Served as CTO at a pediatric health-tech startup that won first place at the Connected Health EXPO in Silicon Valley. Holds dual degrees from Geneva College in Industrial Engineering and Business Administration. Leads deal sourcing, underwriting, and capital allocation for ZCG, and built DealFlowPro to systematize Zuma's own deal pipeline — then opened it to the market.

Brad Hinderliter

President of IRP Meat & Seafood Co., a family-owned protein processing and distribution company in Telford, PA with 80+ full-time employees. Over 20 years with the organization across sales, operations, and executive leadership. Brings an investor's discipline to ZCG's strategy and capital decisions alongside his primary role at IRP. Joel and Brad's professional relationship predates ZCG — a partnership built on years of trust and shared discipline around risk management and capital deployment.

Our Partner Network

We execute deals alongside experienced joint venture partners and co-GPs who bring decades of hands-on multifamily experience and deep local market knowledge. This network gives Zuma access to off-market deal flow, boots-on-the-ground property management, and operational expertise across target markets — without the overhead of a large organization.
