Real Estate Syndication
CBI’s Syndication Investment Division
With more than 65 years of combined real estate experience the Partners of the firm seek to acquire a well-diversified portfolio of Commercial Real Estate assets with an emphasis in STNL and Retail Investments.
The assets will be targeted for significant Cash-On-Cash returns for investors by implementing a thoughtful approach to each transaction with long-term goals and appreciation in mind as well.
The company’s goal will be co-aligned with the investors, as up-front fees are very limited and are less than ½ of what is typically charged by syndicators.
The Company’s return is directly affected by performance, with the investors having a preferred return and fair water-fall returns based upon property specific performance targets
CBI is identifying appropriate properties targeted for acquisition, specifically through a syndication vehicle
The investors / limited partners would provide between 90-95% of the initial investment requirement.
Investors can invest and receive all the benefits of real estate, with investment amounts substantially lower than what they would typically need on their own and at the same time diversifying their risk with other investors.
The anticipated hold time of the investment will be between 5-7 years
Properties to be targeted will offer a combination of lower risk asset preservation vehicles and possible upside potential in rental rates.
Typical Property Investment Parameters
Each investment will be fully vetted by the principals, and a detailed business plan will be provided to investors to illustrate the identifiable value proposition of the opportunity. The business plan will include a sale comparable analysis, discounted cash-flow analysis, rent comparable analysis, a detailed renovation plan (if necessary) with associated cost analysis, and projected returns for the investment.
Single Tenant Net Lease (“STNL”) properties and/or retail strip centers with emphasis on immediate positive cash flow
Acquisition price between $1.5 million, and $6 million. This price range reflects the greatest STNL and Retail Strip Center property availability in the nation
