Our Investors
1. Finding Multifamily Deals (Acquisition)The process begins with the sponsor (the party that organizes the investment) identifying and acquiring suitable multifamily properties. This involves market analysis, property evaluation, negotiation, and securing financing. The sponsor manages all aspects of identifying high-potential deals.
2. Investor Partnership and Capital (Funding)Once a viable property is identified, the sponsor presents the opportunity to limited partners (the investors). Investors contribute capital to the project in exchange for an equity stake. This capital is pooled to purchase the property and cover initial costs. The terms of this partnership are outlined in formal legal documents like a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and an Operating Agreement
3. Collecting Rents (Operations and Cash Flow)After acquisition, the property is managed to generate income. The sponsor or a third-party property management company handles day-to-day operations, which includes:
- Marketing and leasing available units.
- Collecting rent from tenants.
- Managing maintenance and repairs.
- Paying operating expenses (taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.)
4. Investor Distributions (Returns)Investors receive returns from the profits generated by the property through several mechanisms:
- "Mailbox Money" (Cash Flow/Rental Income): The net operating income (after expenses and debt service) is distributed to investors periodically (usually monthly or quarterly). This is passive income that appears consistently in the investor's mailbox or bank account.
- Sale Proceeds (Percentage of Sale): The investment strategy often involves holding the property for a specified period (typically 3–10 years) during which its value is increased through improvements or market appreciation. When the property is sold or refinanced, investors receive their initial capital back plus a share of the profits (equity gain)
- Tax Benefits: Real estate investments offer significant tax advantages. Investors can benefit from depreciation (a non-cash expense that shelters rental income from taxes), deductions for operating expenses and mortgage interest, and strategies like 1031 exchanges upon sale
