Prevail Alternative Assets
Private Real Estate

You’ve maximized what you earn. Now structure what you keep.

Private real estate for accredited investors, owned directly across property types and built around what a brokerage account can’t offer: direct ownership of real assets, depreciation that passes through to you, and a long-term plan for how gains are taxed, held, and handed down.*Tax and structure. References to depreciation, pass-through tax treatment, and the taxation of gains are general. Their effect depends on each investor’s circumstances, is not guaranteed, may be limited or recaptured, and may change with future law. Prevail does not provide tax or legal advice.Private real estate is illiquid and an investment can lose value. How an investor holds an interest, and the terms of that interest, are set out in the offering documents.Full disclosure →

    Kerry Lawing

    Chief Executive Officer

    After 30-plus years owning and operating Lawing Financial, Kerry Lawing suddenly had the unique opportunity to hit reset. In 2017, Kerry sold Lawing Financial – the company he founded in 1985 and grew to over $5 Billion in assets under advisement. He built a close-knit team, with the vision of disrupting an age-old industry, and founded Prevail Innovative Wealth Strategies. Kerry believes the financial industry is broken and that there is a better solution than the traditional advice advisors typically offer. He is driven by impacting the lives of those around him; dedicating himself to growing people, advisors and businesses. Exceptionalism is his passion and Kerry has a history of delivering on that expectation.
