Creative Ways to Structure the Equity of Development Deals
Let’s say there’s a deal you’re interested in. The cost to acquire the land and the construction of new units (plus interest, fees, etc.) will cost $2,000,000.
We require 15% equity for typical construction loans. In this example, 15% of $2,000,000 is $300,000. How can you provide that $300,000?
1 Cash Equity
2 Become an equity partner with Legacy using our Mezz Financing
3 Private Investor
4 Pledge from LOF Investment Funds
Borrower provides $300,000.
If 90/10 Equity Partnership, Borrower provides $30,000; Legacy provides $270,000. Profit split is 40/60. (60% for builder)
Borrowers can utilize their own investors for Equity or have Investors invest in one of the Legacy Funds. (See Option 4)
Borrower or Investor can pledge 90% of amount in fund. Borrower/Investor would need a minimum of $333,333 in fund to pledge $300,000 of equity.
No profit share. Carries less interest.
