Proven exit strategy
- The Developer identifies apartment
complexes suitable for conversion to condominiums
and completes the condominium conversion process
creating individual parcels for each unit;
- The units are purchased by investors
seeking to place their 1031 or non-1031 funds
while earning a return;
- Please note that this is not
a TIC - each investor has complete ownership (deed and title)
of their specific units;
- The Developer leases the property
back from the investor, paying the investor a
10-11% annualized return on the purchase price whether
the unit is vacant or subleased (the investor can
choose different payment alternatives to suit their
tax or income needs);
- The Developer has the option to
purchase the property back from the investor within
60 months (typical repurchase time is within ~2-3
years);
- The Developer then exercises the
option to purchase the property from the investor,
and sells the property to an owner occupant;
- The investor can then either reinvest
the funds into another Developer project, or perform
a 1031 exchange into some other property - Note
that 98% of clients choose to reinvest
into the Developer's next project.
The Developer has been successfully performing condo conversions
for 17 years, and has always exercised its option
to repurchase from the investors. In its 17
year history, they have completed every project, sold
every unit, made every payment on-time and returned
the principal investment to every investor/lender.
They have over 60 projects on their resume.
Clients are so pleased with this arrangement, that
98% of them reinvest their funds in the Developer's
next project after their units are sold.
Q.
Can you furnish references?
A. Yes, if you are considering investing in this program,
we will furnish references.
Q. Can out of state investors use this program?
A. Yes, many out of state investors are now in the program.
Q. What is the minimum investment?
A. An investor must purchase at least one condo unit. These
vary in price, but usually range from $58,000 to $104,000.
Q. Instead of an option to buy back the property,
could the developer give me a guarantee to
buy it back?
A. Yes, however, if you have the buy-back guarantee written
in the original paper work, it may not pass the IRS guidelines for 1031 exchanges. In this program, never once has the developer
not exercised his option to repurchase the property
as he makes no money until he does so! If you are
not using a 1031 exchange coming into this investment
and do not intend to use a 1031 going out of this
investment, the contract may be written with a guaranteed
buyback.
Q. Do I need to have the property inspected?
A. No, as you will not be fixing it up, renting it, etc.
You are purchasing the property "as is"
and selling it back to the developer without you doing
ANYTHING to the property. Since the lease with the
developer is a triple net lease, he is responsible
for making necessary repairs and any other conceivable
expenses that are associated with the property.
Q. If I decide to go ahead with this investment after doing
my due diligence, how long does it take to close?
A. Cash transactions range from 5-12 days and financing transactions
are 30-60 days.
Q. If I choose to have the lease structured so that I am
not taking out any money, other than the amount needed
to make the payments on the loan, if leveraged, and
then find out that my needs have changed, can I restructure
the lease at a later time to take out the maximum
cash flow?
A. Yes, however, the change of the lease is not retroactive.
Q. If I choose to leverage my investment which requires me
to get a loan, can I use my bank?
A. Yes, however, for this investment, the developer requires
that you fill out an application with a local bank
that has done many of these loans. There is no risk
or cost for you to do this. In this way, if your bank
is not able to do the loan, their bank will.
Q. If I leverage this investment and use the developer-recommended
bank, are the loan rates and fees competitive?
A. Yes. Since the developer refers many investors to their
lending sources, the lenders value the relationship
with both the developer and the potential investor.
They are familiar with the properties and the process
associated with this investment program. The lender
offers the lowest possible rates and fees in order
to earn the trust of the developer and the business
form the Investor.
Q. How is this investment different from a TIC investment?
A.
There are several fundamental differences between
the Developer's offerings and TIC offerings:
- The Developer offers complete
(fee simple) ownership while TICs offer fractionalized
ownership
- TICs do not have a defined exit
strategy while the Developer offers a proven exit
strategy (2-3 year buyback)
- Most TICs only work with accredited
investors while the Developer works with both accredited
and non-accredited investors
- TICs sometimes charge a substantial
mark-up over the market value of the project in
order to cover fees, whereas the Developer sells
at below-market values with no fees to the investor.
- TICs provide cash flow based on
the project's NOI while the Developer's investors are receiving
contractual returns regardless of vacancies and
expenses
- We offer low minimum investments
for investor (starting at $58,000) while TICs often
require $250,000-450,000 as a minimum
- TICs require a certain LTV ratio
(typically 50-65%) forcing investors to have debt,
while we work with cash, IRAs and various LTVs to
fit the investor's needs
