Your Questions Answered

AM I ABLE TO USE MY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA) TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE?

The quick answer is Yes! The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) along with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) have specific rules and codes for these investment activities.

WHAT IS A SYNDICATION?

A syndication is a formal legal process for pooling funds from multiple investors with a common investment and goals. This is a great opportunity for investors that have limited capital to participate in these kinds of investments, e.g purchase an multifamily / apartment building or other types of commercial real estate.

HOW DO YOU FIND AND DETERMINE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES?

We have a wide network of partners that scour over the national and local markets. In addition, we have proprietary valuation models to determine if the property will be a worthwhile investment opportunity for our investors and partners. We strive for strong, positive returns.

WHAT IS INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN?

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is used as an objective way to compare investments and one of the decision factors of pursuing investment in a real estate property. It is the net present value estimate of the cash flow it generates during the timeframe of ownership. In other words, it's the anticipated percent return you would earn on each dollar you invest in a property over the holding period.

WHAT IS CAP RATE?

Capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the property's operating income by its asset value, which represents the percent return of that property over one year. Properties with low cap rates are typically more expensive but less riskier. Properties with higher cap rates are more affordable but riskier. Higher cap rates tend to have greater rewards for the risk. Determining which cap rate that best suits you and fits your needs will all depend on your investment goals and objectives.
