DIVERSIFICATION The return on investment potential of limited partnerships for real estate projects does not erratically fluctuate like the options provided by Wall Street. Diversifying your investment portfolio is the gateway to powerfully sustaining your wealth.
CAPITAL POOLING Minimize capital outlay, maximize profit – one of the formulas made feasible by pooling capital through fractionalized ownership. There’s a unique opportunity for investors to participate in residential and commercial real estate projects that would present challenges if done individually.
TAX ADVANTAGES Limited partnerships are not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Instead, the tax benefits incurred by the partnership pass directly through to the investors.
Current tax laws allow for pass-
through depreciation of the property and interest payments on mortgages or directly to investors as a passive income or loss.
GREATER RETURNS WCM aims to produce an average annual 30% internal rate of return (IRR) to investors within the limited partnerships. This average is far greater than potential annual returns of traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, CD’s, etc…It is time to invest in growth.

FAQS WHAT ARE REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS? A real estate limited partnership (LP) is an investment vehicle that optimizes returns through the selling and/or leasing of properties. Investors are able to enjoy the benefits of a direct investment in tangible assets without many of the complexities that normally accompany such investments. Limited partnerships not only offer higher returns than traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs) but greater tax benefits as well. As a real estate limited partnership shareholder, you own a portion of a company that is solely structured for the purpose of developing a particular property.
The ventures sponsored by Wheat Capital Management, LLC. (WCM) are generally formed as limited partnerships. The partnerships’ sponsors pool investment funds to develop projects and/or to re-develop existing properties. The general partner, who, in the case of a limited partnership is known as a sponsor, is responsible for operating and sustaining the company’s assets. Limited partners, which are the investors of the LPs, are not liable for losses beyond their original investment and do not participate in the partnership management.
WHAT IS A PRIVATE PLACEMENT?
A private placement is a type of investment offering that is exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Public companies must register with the SEC, which can be expensive and time consuming. Typically, real estate projects are structured as LPs and capitalized through a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). Such PPMs still undergo standard due diligence but present an opportunity to save time and money for all parties involved.

HOW ARE WCM’S REAL ESTATE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED? WCM has identified the top markets in the U.S. that present a high demand and low supply of both commercial and residential real estate. We work with key developers that build best-in-class properties. Typically, such developers need additional equity financing to complete a project. This is where WCM comes in – we can facilitate the analysis, acquisition, financing and exit strategy of select projects. Our business model is centered by experienced in-house associates and world-renowned partners, enabling higher returns for our investors.
HOW LONG IS THE INVESTMENT CYCLE OF A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP? Our sponsored limited partnerships carry a 2-5 year cycle, though time may vary due to the market’s characteristics. Real estate is cyclical in nature and times may vary to achieve the most favorable investment positions. Every project is unique; our goal is to always exit a project as soon as possible, optimizing a return on investment and profit for all.
HOW WILL I KNOW HOW MY INVESTMENT IS PERFORMING? Wheat Capital Management is the asset manager for all partnerships.
We send out
quarterly statements and informational announcements to our investors. As an asset manager, WCM maintains accounting of all projects, where transparency is provided. Shareholders are always welcome to contact our Investor Relations department for any inquiries.
ARE REAL ESTATE LPS SUITED FOR ALL INVESTORS? Rea estate LPs are not suitable for all investors. WCM presently works only with accredited investors. In addition to meeting the financial requirements, our desired investor must tolerate a level of risk, associated with any investment, and be willing to participate in our buy and hold strategy. Our associates can discuss all facets of select LPs to help determine the suitability for all parties involved.
WHAT PROJECTS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE THROUGH WCM? Our investment opportunities are structured as private placements, and are currently available to accredited investors. Please visit our website or contact us so an associate can discuss upcoming projects and optimize your portfolio’s diversification.
