FAQs
-
What is 507 Capital’s preferred return (Pref) model?Our Pref model ensures that our investors receive a fixed annual return before 507 Capital receives any compensation. If we do not achieve the property-specific goals, we may not receive any compensation until those goals are met. Additionally, if we are unable to hit the Pref amount for investors in a given year, the unpaid amount will roll over and accrue onto the following year. The preferred return is different for each investment, but for most properties, it will range between 6% and 8%.
-
What is capital used for?We use capital for costs including the down payment on the acquisition, building improvements, tenant improvement allowances, acquisition fees, and closing costs. More specifically, investments made by our equity partners will be used toward the down payment of the properties, with the remainder being financed through a local lending institution. We assume all the risks associated with the debt, ensuring that our equity partners’ investment is protected. The investment may also be used to cover acquisition fees and property rehab costs, or for maintaining a reserve balance for the property.
