About Wellings Capital
Wellings Capital is a real estate private equity firm founded in 2015 by Paul Moore and led by Managing Partner Benjamin Kahle. The firm helps high-net-worth individuals, family offices, Registered Investment Advisors, and wealth managers access diversified private commercial real estate investments through professionally managed funds. Wellings Capital invests preferred equity and JV structured equity alongside experienced commercial real estate operators rather than operating properties directly, with a focus on asset classes such as manufactured housing communities, multifamily apartments, small bay industrial properties, open-air retail centers, and select self-storage investments. The firm’s investment process emphasizes operator selection, diversification, conservative risk management, and a 26-step due diligence process that focuses on operators and their teams, markets, business plans, capital structures, and properties.
