General

About Dunmere Capital.

A few foundational questions about what Dunmere is — and what it isn’t.

What is Dunmere Capital LLC?

Dunmere Capital LLC is a privately held, owner-led investment firm focused on real-asset–backed opportunities, with an emphasis on disciplined underwriting and conservative risk management. The firm is based in Saint Charles, Missouri, and its initial market focus is on select counties in Texas.

Is Dunmere a fund?

No. Dunmere does not currently operate a pooled investment fund or public vehicle. The firm’s intent, as it matures, is to pursue deal-by-deal or project-specific partnerships where appropriate, with terms documented separately for each opportunity and only with qualified, relationship-based partners.

Who leads the firm?

Dunmere is led by its founder and Managing Member, Tim Russell, who oversees strategy, underwriting philosophy, and capital deployment. The firm expects to work with experienced operators, contractors, and professional partners on a project-by-project basis as its activity grows.

Do you have a published track record I can review?

At this stage, Dunmere is focused on building its execution track record. There is no marketed performance history or list of completed case studies available yet. Over time, selected projects are expected to be featured on the Track Record & Case Studies page, comparing underwritten vs. realized results and lessons learned — but until that happens, there are no performance numbers to rely on or invest around.

Strategy & Risk

How Dunmere thinks about opportunities and risk.

These questions address the firm’s current approach to returns, leverage, and the realities of investing in real assets.

What kinds of projects does Dunmere focus on right now?

Dunmere’s current focus is on residential value-add opportunities — primarily properties where thoughtful renovation, repositioning, or operational improvements can create measurable value. Projects are generally underwritten with short to moderate hold periods and multiple potential exit paths, though actual structures may evolve as the firm gains experience.

Does Dunmere use leverage (debt)?

Many real-asset projects involve some form of debt financing. Where leverage is used, Dunmere’s intent is to model conservative assumptions around interest carry, timelines, and exit pricing. The goal is for debt to support a sound business plan — not to stretch for deals that only work at aggressive leverage levels or under perfect conditions.

What are the main risks involved?

Any real-asset opportunity involves risk, including the potential loss of capital. Key risks can include construction cost overruns, timeline delays, changes in buyer demand or interest rates, legal or regulatory issues, and shifts in local market conditions. Dunmere’s framework is to understand these risks upfront, stress-test assumptions, and avoid situations where success depends on everything going exactly as planned.

Can Dunmere guarantee returns?

No. Dunmere cannot and does not guarantee any level of return or outcome. Any future examples or case studies, when available, will be descriptive — not predictive. Every project is subject to risk, and no investment decision should be based on the expectation of a particular return or on website language alone.

Investors & Partners

Working with Dunmere.

These questions apply to potential investors, operators, and lenders considering a relationship with Dunmere in the future.

Who can potentially partner with Dunmere?

Dunmere focuses on relationship-based, qualified partners who understand that real-asset strategies carry risk, require patience, and benefit from discipline. Over time, this may include individual investors, family capital, operators, and relationship-driven lenders. Dunmere does not currently seek broad, retail-style participation or advertise live offerings to the public.

How are partnership terms determined?

Any future partnership terms are expected to be structured on a project-by-project basis. Factors can include the amount and timing of capital, the risk profile of the project, the type of contribution (capital, execution, or both), and the degree of involvement a partner wishes to have. Actual participation, if ever applicable, would be governed by written agreements specific to that opportunity.

Does Dunmere currently have offerings available?

No. This website does not list live offerings, and nothing here should be interpreted as an active solicitation, advertisement, or recommendation of securities. If, in the future, a specific opportunity were appropriate for a particular qualified partner, it would be discussed privately and documented formally in compliance with applicable law.

How would investors stay informed during a project?

For any project where investors participate, Dunmere’s intent is to provide periodic updates on key milestones — such as acquisition, major construction phases, listing, and exit — along with candid communication if timelines or budgets change. The exact rhythm and format of reporting would be defined in the relevant agreement and tailored to the project.

Practical Questions

Next steps, minimums, and logistics.

These questions focus on what happens if someone wants to start an informational conversation or explore potential long-term fit with Dunmere.

Is there a minimum investment size?

Because Dunmere expects to structure any future participation on a deal-by-deal basis — and is currently focused on building its own track record — there is no universal published minimum. If and when specific opportunities are appropriate for a particular partner, the size of any participation would need to be reasonable for both the project and the individual’s situation. The first step is a conversation, not a commitment.

How do I know if Dunmere might be the right fit for me?

The best indicator is whether you resonate with Dunmere’s emphasis on discipline, downside-focused underwriting, and straightforward, plain-language communication. If you prefer highly speculative strategies, frequent trading, or maximized leverage, Dunmere is unlikely to be a match. If you value prudence, process, and long-term thinking, it may be worth an exploratory conversation.

How can I start a conversation?

You can use the Connect page to share a brief overview of who you are, what you’re interested in, and how you prefer to be contacted. Dunmere will review your message and, if it makes sense, reply to schedule a time for a more detailed, no-pressure discussion.

Still Have Questions?

If it matters to you, it’s worth asking.

No website can answer every question. If you don’t see your question here — or want to clarify something you’ve read — the next step is simple: reach out directly for an honest conversation.
