Eric Weber
Eric graduated from the University of Illinois in 2002 with a Bachelors and Masters in Accountancy and earned his Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) accreditation in that same year. Eric started his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the Business Advisory services practice where most of his time was spent auditing public and private companies in the real estate sector. In 2005, Eric joined the Crisis Management group within FTI Consulting’s Corporate Finance practice where he provided turnaround advisory services for public and private companies. In late 2010, after a long run in Corporate America, Eric entered the real estate industry and launched OwnIt Capital Partners (“OiCP”) with his long time friend, Drew. Borrowing on the vast network of real estate owners and developers he built during his time in Corporate America, Eric set out to begin syndicating multifamily real estate investments. What started with an acquisition of a 3-flat in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood, has evolved into a variety of value-add multifamily and mixed use investments throughout the Midwest. Eric’s time is spent primarily in acquisitions, equity syndication and capital structuring for OiCP. Outside of real estate, Eric is a father to 3 highly energetic kids who he coaches across a variety of sports. He is also a member of the Board of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago.

Starting with his foundation in project management and analytical assessments and drawing on his passion for real estate, Drew teamed up with Eric in late 2010 to undertake OiCP’s first real estate investment in Avondale.
