Updates from the Field

We believe in progress through transparency. Follow our journey, from community meetings to behind-the-scenes project development. These updates reflect our mission, growth, and lessons learned.

Progress at the Davenport Site

Our pilot property has entered the renovation phase. Local contractors are upgrading outdated systems and preparing interiors for energy-efficient retrofits. We're engaging with nearby stakeholders to align design choices with community needs.

Quarm Speaks at Housing Forum

CEO James Dunham recently presented Quarm's redevelopment model at the Iowa Affordable Housing Coalition's Spring Forum. The conversation focused on minority-owned developer access to funding and creative financing approaches.

Why Real Estate Is Still a Top Performer

Amid economic uncertainty, real estate remains one of the strongest wealth-building assets. Iowa's stable market and affordable housing shortage create a high-yield opportunity for equity-backed investors like you.

Partnering with Nonprofits for Financial Literacy

We're collaborating with a local nonprofit to host tenant financial literacy workshops before leasing our newly renovated units. These events build long-term stability and community empowerment — two of our core principles.

Looking Ahead: 2026 & Beyond

Following our first successful rehab, we plan to scale Quarm's model across multiple Iowa cities. With each new flip, our mission remains the same: rebuild homes, restore value, and redistribute opportunity.
