Forrest Jinks

As an entrepreneur from an early age, Forrest demonstrated a solid foundation of business acumen. While still in college, Forrest launched two successful businesses that both showed astute diligence and both experienced successful exits. Within one week of graduation, Forrest acquired his first real estate property, demonstrating his determination and application of finance principles. Forrest has grown that initial acquisition into Altus Equity Group, LP, a formidable Real Estate Private Equity enterprise. Forrest has more than 21 years diverse real estate experience and has served as the lead investor in more than $500 Million of real estate transactions.

Upon graduation with honors in 1999 from Cal Poly, armed with a degree in finance and economics, Forrest was recruited to Medtronic Corporation. During his three year tenure, Forrest was promoted three times to ultimately hold responsibilities as Vascular Division Senior Analyst, working directly with the division President, overseeing regional budgets of several hundred million dollars and facilitating the bi‐coastal transfer and operations of a portion of a manufacturing facility.

In 2003 Forrest departed Medtronic to launch Expowth, Principals in Real Estate Investing and Project Management. As Founder and President of Expowth, Forrest grew the multi‐state business into three distinct divisions; focusing on distressed property acquisitions, project development, and the entire scope of property preservation management for more than 1000 bank owned REO assets. In 2009 Forrest orchestrated the merger of Expowth with Inland Management Company, restructuring to Altus Equity Group. He subsequently bought out the existing managing partner in 2013.

Over Forrest’s personal career, he has cumulatively built a diversified portfolio of over 2000 residential units, 400,000 square feet of commercial and 32 development/re‐development projects with a geographic footprint spanning locations throughout United States.

Forrest has led Altus Equity to diversify over various asset classes including single family, multi‐family, commercial/industrial and retail; involving development, repositioning, opportunistic and value add projects. He engages progressive, yet calculated business scaling, contingent upon the firm’s ability to go after larger projects with discipline. He is recognized for his constant finessing of detail, systems and communications.
