About Raji Mosa

Does “make your money work harder” resonate with you? For most people, I’m guessing the answer is a resounding “heck yeah!”Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked across the government, nonprofit, and private sectors, developing a forward-thinking approach to building durable investment strategies for myself and others. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on identifying alternative investments that prioritize consistency, disciplined risk management, and long-term value creation.After five years of hands-on experience in real estate—progressing from a limited partner to a general partner and taking an active role in operations—I founded Avondale Equity Group. I built the firm deliberately, dedicating my nights and weekends to mastering the fundamentals of real estate investing and creating a platform rooted in transparency, alignment, and execution.Avondale\'s primary investment focus has been single-family housing in the Philadelphia marketplace since the inventory for affordable housing in good conditions are very low. Avondale Equity Group then partnered up with Housing Us Capital Management to create a joint venture to expand their capabilities to tackle the housing crisis across the US, where we identify distressed, value-add opportunities in emerging neighborhoods and structure investments designed to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns. Our goal is to offer investors an alternative to traditional 401(k) and IRA strategies by providing access to real estate investments with greater control, stability, and cash flow.We work with busy professionals and entrepreneurs who want to invest passively in single-family real estate through a professionally managed fund. Our investors gain access to thoroughly vetted, cash-flowing assets designed to be resilient through market cycles while targeting above-average returns with disciplined risk mitigation.Passive real estate investing offers meaningful diversification, consistent income, tax advantages, and the opportunity to build generational wealth—without the operational burden of being a landlord.Outside of real estate, I value time with my wife and two sons—whether traveling internationally, visiting NFL stadiums across the country, or coaching my son’s football and wrestling teams. I’m also an avid marathon runner. Above all, I enjoy sharing great meals, great music, and great conversations with great people.
