Why Invest in Commercial Real Estate

Downside Protection

Real estate is risky, though the risk is managed. By collateralizing on a hard asset and executing a proven business model in a historically performing market, real estate offers a recession-resistant investment vehicle and extended control over your investment.

Upside Potential

Real estate offers cashflow, appreciation, and tax advantages. Coupled with our data-driven decision making and expertise in partnering with sponsors who acquire at a discount, finance conservatively, and operate effectively, we consistently tap into forced value creation opportunities and above-average returns.

Economies of Scale

Compared to residential real estate, commercial real estate offers fewer headaches, lower operational cost, and accelerated growth through scale.

Our Approach and Guiding Values

At Archline Equity, our investment portfolio is carefully selected based on rigorous analysis. We conduct thorough due diligence on all potential properties, including analyzing the local market, assessing the property’s potential for appreciation and income growth, and evaluating the strength of the asset.

We target multifamily and other commercial real estate investment opportunities with strong in-place infrastructure and management by real estate groups with proven track records of success.

Alignment

We invest our own capital alongside investors and the GP team, ensuring our goals are always aligned.

Rigor

We apply disciplined research and underwriting to every opportunity, seeking strong, sustainable returns while managing risk.

Empowerment

We provide investors with the insights and resources needed to make confident decisions, and make learning an ongoing part of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a syndication?

Multifamily syndication is a collaborative investment strategy where a group of investors pools resources to purchase and manage large multifamily properties, such as apartment complexes. This allows investors to benefit from passive income and property appreciation without the responsibility of day-to-day management.

The typical structure consists of general partners and limited partners. The General Partner, or syndicator, is responsible for overseeing and managing the property from acquisition, signing the loan, due diligence, renovation, and daily operations. They have full liability over the company and its decisions. Limited Partners are passive partners who invest in a portion of the equity investment and typically are not involved in the daily responsibilities of the company and have no personal liability beyond their investment.

Why should I invest in multifamily real estate?

Multifamily real estate offers benefits like consistent cash flow, tax advantages, scalability, and diversification. It’s also considered a relatively stable investment compared to other asset classes.

How does multifamily syndication differ from other real estate investments?

Unlike single-family rentals or small-scale real estate investments, multifamily syndication involves larger properties with multiple income streams and professional management, which can lead to more stable returns.

How do I get started with multifamily syndication?

Start by joining our investor network. We’ll guide you through the education process, understand your goals, and introduce you to available opportunities that align with your interests.

How do you ensure the safety of my investment?

Protecting against downside typically starts before the acquisition. This includes due diligence, market research, tenant analysis, financial due diligence, contract design, and creative structuring of the deal. Beyond the acquisition, conservative financed and proactive asset management in operations are crucial in preserving and enhancing the value of the investment.

How often do you share investment updates?

The frequency of investment updates can vary, but typically, investors receive monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports. These reports usually include general updates, financial statements, occupancy rates, market analysis, and updates on any significant developments related to the property or the overall market.

What is the minimum investment amount?

The minimum investment typically ranges between $50,000 and $100,000, depending on the specific deal.

What is the typical timeline for an investment?

Most multifamily syndication deals have a holding period of 5 years, though this can vary depending on the property and business plan.

Do I need to be an accredited investor?

Many of the deals we source require investors to be accredited. This means having a net worth of over $1 million (excluding your primary residence) or earning an annual income of $200,000 ($300,000 for couples) for the last two years. However, some deals are open to non-accredited "sophisticated" investors.
