Alice Vysata is a commercial real estate professional and owner/investor who uses two decades of diversified real estate experience to source opportunistic, high yield investment properties.  Her focus is in the multifamily sector, specializing in affordable housing and value-add apartment buildings.  At present, Alice is the Chief Acquisitions Officer at Mioym Equities in Westchester County, NY where she sources properties in the Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York area.

Alice was previously the the Director of Acquisitions for a bi-coastal private equity firm, during which time she sourced, evaluated and closed government subsidized and conventional apartment buildings throughout various U.S. markets.  Since joining the team as an financial analyst in 2011, Alice became the top producer in the company and alone spearheaded $83MM in multifamily acquisitions totaling 2,150 units.  Responsibilities included financial modeling of the acquisition, researching market fundamentals, historical performance and expense analysis, recommending improvements to cash flow, reviewing and analyzing due diligence materials and third party reports, preparing LOIs, PSAs, partnership agreements, HUD reports and HUD submissions, developing investment committee memoranda, presenting the opportunity to partners, and training teams of new financial analysts and interns.

In prior years, Alice enjoyed success as a sales and marketing executive, instrumental in the planning, design, marketing and sale of residential and investment properties.  She worked in the most sought after markets in the country including Miami and Las Vegas, and oversaw the pre-construction activities of five luxury developments including residences by Ivana Trump in Las Vegas. Recognizing a sudden product shift in a growing market, Alice joined efforts with the developer to quickly pivot and re-entitle two highrise projects to reflect the rapidly changing customer demand on the Strip.  Other responsibilities included land acquisition/entitlement, market research, floorplan critique, unit pricing, planning & development recommendations, neighborhood homeowner presentations, and launch of sales/marketing efforts for the projects.

Complementing Alice’s extensive real estate experience is her exceptional leadership ability, utmost professionalism, and adherence to the finest standards she continuously demonstrates.  She has consistently conducted herself in a LAWFUL and ETHICAL manner, believing this is the true path to attaining goals and maintaining key relationships along the way.  Alice is the daughter of Czech parents who emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1960s, and she is fluent in English and Czech.  Originally from Short Hills, New Jersey, Vysata earned a B.A. from the University of Miami and has pursued post-graduate studies in Real Estate Development, Real Estate Law, Zoning, Construction, Finance, and most recently, Marketing Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the London School of Economics.  She is currently a CCIM candidate.

11) My favorite quote is: “You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done.  You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”   ~Charles Mackay
