Before developers can secure financing for major condominium developments,
they must demonstrate the project's viability by pre-selling a certain
percentage of units. We accelerate the pre-sell phase by purchasing
units in bulk at a discounted rate, and then we give control of those units to
our buyers at the same rate. It's a unique business model that makes
pre-construction condominium opportunities available to individual buyers.
Before the condominium construction even begins, buyers put down a small
deposit, generally between $30-75K, to secure one or more units from
developers willing to offer below-market terms, discounts, and protections.
While contractual protections vary somewhat depending on the project, here are
some typical options:
- Discounted, pre-construction pricing, typically 10%-15% off retail
- Market downturn protection
- Insured, interest-bearing escrow account to hold buyer's deposit
- Fully-assignable contracts
The developer then re-sells the unit(s) at retail price as construction
continues. By participating in the model, our buyers are generally able
to liquidate their real estate purchase in 18 to 30 months with target returns
of between 40-90%.
With
the recent stock market downturn, this question not only becomes an interesting
discussion point, but a very real and vital dilemma, especially for individuals
seeking a relatively secure place to realize a return on their money. We have created a unique model that makes successful and
low-risk real estate investment opportunities available to individual buyers.
Our
business model revolves around the fact that before developers can secure
financing for major condominium developments, they must demonstrate the
project’s viability by pre-selling a certain percentage of units. We accelerate
the developer’s pre-sell phase by acquiring units in bulk at a discounted rate.
We then give control of those units to our buyers at the same rate with a
pre-negotiated exit strategy usually resulting in our buyers selling their unit
at full retail price for a substantial profit.
Because we work only
with developers with a proven track record, and who are highly motivated to sell
large numbers of their pre-construction condominiums, we are able to negotiate
contractual elements that provide a low-risk, high-yield opportunity for our
buyers.
While contractual protections vary depending on the project, we negotiate
safeguards that require the developer, not our buyers, to assume most of the
risk. Typical options include:
- Discounted, pre-construction pricing, typically 10%-15% off retail price
- Market downturn protection which maintains the original spread
- The buyer’s deposit remains in a 3rd party escrow account
- Fully-assignable contracts
Of all
of the protections mentioned above, the safeguard against a market downturn is
especially relevant in today’s investment climate. If a condominium unit’s
retail price is less than originally expected, our buyers receive a
dollar-for-dollar reduction on their already discounted purchase price, thereby
maintaining the originally agreed-upon spread. It’s an unprecedented safeguard
against losses.
Before the condominium construction even begins, buyers put
down a small, pre-negotiated deposit, generally between $30-75K, to secure one
or more units from developers willing to offer below-market terms, discounts,
and protections mentioned above.
The developer then re-sells the unit(s) at retail price as construction
continues. By participating in the model, our buyers are generally able to
liquidate their real estate purchase in 18 to 30 months with target returns of
between 40-90%.
