EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Our family run firm has been involved in over a half a billion dollars of commercial real estate investments and sat in every seat at the table. We pride ourselves on getting good deals done with the right capital solutions.
Our Investment Structure:
Structured Equity
With structured equity, the common equity investors get “caught up” once the structured equity investors achieve certain return hurdles. After the last hurdle, the structured and common equity investors share profits according to the predetermined splits.
Because the Common Equity principal and cashflow distributions sit only behind Velocity Capital Partners’ principal and the 6-8% current-pay distributions, this unique structure is far less risky for common equity LPs compared to sitting behind traditional preferred equities’ mid-teens compounding preferred return.
Our Values Based Approach
As a family run firm, our company values guide everything from our investment thesis to our day-to-day approach.
