How does the process work for sponsors?
- We share two types of deals with our group
- 3c5 funds (special purpose entities) that are directly investing into real estate (or a single member LLC that holds real estate)
- In this case, we require sponsor’s provide an investor digital subscription link (with a $1k minimum) so that each of our members who decides to invest becomes an LP (or co-GP) in the project
- 3c1 funds (aka GP funds, co-GP funds, etc.)
- In this case, we will create a SPV in order to enable $1k minimum investments from our members and then aggregate commits to act as a single LP to the fund
- Sponsor confirms deal is raising under Reg D 506c
- Sponsor confirms use of third party fund admin and provides link for investor e-subscription
- Ex third party fund admins
- Juniper Square
- Groundbreaker
- Verivest
- InvestNext
- Allocations
- Sydecar
- Etc.
- Sponsors provide deal materials or link to deal room (no need to create anything custom for us)
- Pro forma
- Offering/Private Placement Memorandum
- Equity deck (if available)
- (if land is under contract or has been purchased) lender term sheet
- Any relevant supporting materials, for example
- Earnest money agreement
- Phase 1/2, geotechnical, etc. reports
- If joint venture with landowner, land contribution agreement
- GMP agreement with GC
- etc.
- Syndicate admin creates a light weight deal page composed of
- Sponsor materials
- Syndicate admin written deal summary
- Form for syndicate members to submit non-binding indications of interest
- Syndicate admin provides deal page to sponsor for feedback and approval.
- Once approved, admin sends deal page to syndicate members email list
- If deal page receives >$200k in indications of interest, admin creates a SPV to aggregate commits
- The SPV is a Delaware LP that will become either a LP or Co-GP in the sponsor’s project entity
What type of deals does the syndicate look at?
- Equity (Co-GP or LP)
- US based
- Preference for states without an income tax (we believe this reduces entitlement risk)
- Multifamily (rental, condo, manufactured housing, etc.)
- Our preference is new construction for-sale multifamily in states that do not have an income tax.
- Market rate
- Ground up new construction
- Open to looking at office-to-residential conversion but not our primary focus
- Stages of interest
- Pre land tie up: pursuit equity for earnest money deposits and soft costs needed to validate site
- Equity needed to close on a validated site
- Soft costs to get to entitlement
- Equity capital needed to meet construction loan requirements
Does the deal have to be 506c?
- Yes. But if this is an issue, let us know and we will see if there is flexibility
What is the investment minimum for the SPV?
