About Fairmeadow Capital
Fairmeadow Capital was founded in 2025 by Garrett John Law to acquire and operate residential real estate on behalf of investors.
Founder
I’m a software engineer by profession. For years I watched colleagues earn good incomes and still struggle to build wealth outside the stock market. They wanted exposure to real estate but didn’t have the time or the knowledge to buy and run property themselves.
Real estate appealed to me because it can be verified: you can walk the building, confirm the rents, and underwrite the expenses. When I compared markets, the popular ones offered high prices and thin yields. Cleveland offered stable demand, affordable properties, and rents that cover costs, in a market I could learn in depth. I bought the firm’s first property, a duplex in the West Boulevard neighborhood, in April 2025.
Fairmeadow Capital pairs the time and analysis I can put into each deal with investors who have capital but not the time to operate property. I named it for the kind of growth I’m after: steady, like a meadow returning every spring.
I’m not trying to build the biggest real estate firm. I’m trying to build one that serves its investors well, treats its residents fairly, and contributes to the neighborhoods where it owns property.
Commitments
- Capital protection
- Every acquisition must hold up in the downside case. The firm does not ask investors to fund a property its founder would not invest in himself.
- Reporting
- Quarterly reports cover property-level financials, occupancy, capital work, and local market conditions.
- Hold period
- The portfolio is built to be held across market cycles, measured in years rather than quarters.
Outside the firm
Garrett is also a professional classical pianist and directs a music festival in Hungary. More about his work in software and music is at garrettjohnlaw.com.
