ABOUT US
Veritus Capital Partners
Veritus Capital Partners is a privately held investment company specializing in the acquisition and management of value-add multifamily properties. Our mission is to protect our investors' capital while delivering high-yield returns through strategic repositioning of Class A and B apartment communities in emerging markets across the nation.
We focus on multifamily investments because they have historically shown resilience during economic downturns and offer strong upside potential during upturns. The demand for affordable housing in secondary and tertiary markets continues to outpace supply, creating attractive opportunities for growth.
Our value-add strategy enhances property performance through targeted renovations and improved management, maximizing rental income and property value. With a commitment to community development and professional management, Veritus Capital Partners is dedicated to providing sustainable returns while positively impacting the neighborhoods we serve.
Our Team
The Multifamily Power Team
Our approach to acquiring and managing real estate is modeled on the successes of our investment experiences. Real estate investment is the cornerstone of consistent wealth. Multifamily investments generate ongoing passive income with a focus on appreciation over time through added value. Real estate is a physical asset that can always be monetized by renting, selling, or refinancing the property, irrespective of financial market conditions. This makes real estate a far more stable investment compared to stocks and bonds that are highly susceptible to the day to day fluxes in the market. Furthermore, within the real estate investment space, multifamily assets have proven to be the safest asset class.

Managing Team
Key Principal & General Partner
Sean Thompson has been acquiring, repositioning, and developing real estate since 2001, building a $80M+ portfolio across Tennessee, Florida, and Texas entirely through hands-on execution. His value-add track record includes a 12.6x return on capital at Lovell Center Apartments in Knoxville and $14.4 million in value created at the 120-unit Emerald Cove Portfolio in the Florida Panhandle. A 2024 9% LIHTC award for a $28M affordable housing development rounds out a sponsor who has proven himself across every tier of the real estate capital stack. Sean leads as Key Principal on this acquisition, bringing 24 years of cycle-tested, owner-operator discipline to every deal the team underwrites.
Melissa Hawkins | General Partner
Melissa Hawkins built a $25M+ healthcare division from zero, navigated four corporate M&A events without losing a single client, an MBA in Enterprise Analytics and honored with Gold Lifetime Achievement Award, all before bringing that same rigor to real estate. At Veritus Capital Partners, she leads deal origination, due diligence, and capital raises, backed by proprietary stress-testing systems and conservative underwriting models she built from the ground up. Her approach is operator-first: validate the numbers, challenge the assumptions, and protect investor capital at every stage. With deep relationships across county governments in over 150 counties and a home base in Dallas, Texas, Melissa brings a uniquely grounded perspective of market intelligence, and insights into the communities where the team invests.
JP Valdes | General Partner
JP Valdes spent 20+ years overseeing $1.5B in revenue across Fortune 500 and FinTech companies before applying that analytical discipline to real estate full-time. His multifamily portfolio consistently delivers annual returns above 16%, including a 2025 cash-on-cash of 27.7% at 99.6% occupancy with zero delinquency, built on rigorous financial modeling and hands-on asset management. With LP exposure across 1,900+ units in Florida and Texas, JP brings real-time Sun Belt market intelligence and an MBA from The George Washington University to every investment decision.
