Benefits of Preferred Equity Investments
Preferred equity investments offer a unique opportunity with lower risk than equity and higher returns than debt. A recent $4 million preferred equity investment in an Atlanta multifamily project showcased a 9% current pay cash flow, 8% upside accruing monthly, and a total coupon of 17%. This investment deal also included reserves for capital improvements, creating a diversified and potentially lucrative investment opportunity.
Limited Access to Preferred Equity Opportunities
Preferred equity investments can provide attractive returns but are typically inaccessible to individual investors without significant resources. The podcast emphasizes the benefits and intricacies of preferred equity deals, highlighting the complexities involved in negotiating and structuring such investments. Opportunities like the Atlanta multifamily project mentioned require a level of legal and negotiating expertise usually found in institutional investors or family offices, limiting access to the broader market.
