Answers for capital partners.
The questions lenders, investors, and institutional partners ask most often during diligence and engagement.
What types of capital partners do you work with?
Private lenders, family offices, accredited individual investors, registered investment advisors, and institutional capital providers deploying into U.S. real estate.
How is collateral secured on lender transactions?
All financing structures are anchored in tangible real estate collateral, secured by recorded mortgages or deeds of trust, with independent third-party valuation and conservative basis underwriting.
What is your typical deal size and turnaround?
Transactions typically range from $1M to $50M. After receiving a qualified inquiry and underwriting package, we target an indicative response within 5–7 business days.
How do you handle reporting and ongoing communication?
Monthly operating updates, quarterly investor letters, and access to a secure investor reporting portal. Material events are communicated promptly outside the regular cadence.
What are typical exit pathways?
Every transaction is structured with documented primary and secondary exits — refinance, sale, sponsor takeout, or recapitalization — modeled at underwriting and tracked through the hold.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. All inquiries are reviewed under strict confidentiality, and material non-public deal information is shared only after mutual NDA execution.
Are investment opportunities open to non-accredited investors?
No. Investment opportunities are offered only to qualified, accredited, or institutional investors pursuant to definitive transaction documents and applicable securities exemptions.
Do you offer fund-style commitments or only deal-by-deal participation?
Both. We maintain programmatic relationships with select partners and also structure single-asset, deal-by-deal participations depending on partner preference and mandate.
