Cash on Cash Return - Cash flow returns are what’s left after you factor in vacancy costs, mortgage, and expenses, and it’s the pot of rental income money that gets distributed to investors. The remaining cash flow is usually distributed to passive investors on a quarterly basis.
IRR (internal rate of return) - is the standard metric used to compare the return on your investment with the length of time included in the calculation. In contrast, ROI (return on investment) calculations don’t consider how long it will take to collect your returns.
Equity Multiple - The initial amount invested into a deal is an investor’s capital. That capital equals the amount of equity an investor has in the passive investment. Thus, the term Equity Multiple simply means the amount your capital (or equity) will be multiplied by the end of the deal.
If a real estate syndication deal has an equity multiple of 2x and a projected hold time of 5 years, that means investors can expect to double their capital (original investment) in that 5 year period.
Preferred Return - This is when the Sponsor says a certain percentage must be paid out to investors before the Sponsor takes their part of the returns. In this case, we are investors will earn 6% on their capital before any profits are split to the Sponsor team.
Equity

IRR,
Imagine a list of everyone participating in the deal with the debt and equity partners categorized into groups – those with the lowest returns and the highest risk at the top. When cashflow is available, it gets distributed like a waterfall, starting at the top and trickling down to those with higher returns and lower risk toward the bottom.
Phases 1&2 were developed in 2018 and have since stayed 96%+ occupied consistently. By purchasing Phase 3 from the same developer, we instantly benefit from economies of scale and will have immediately have a solid foothold in Centerton.
We are in an inflationary environment! It should now be crystal clear that doing nothing and keeping your money in a savings account is the worst thing you could do for your hard-earned and hard-won wealth right now.
This is why we have secured fixed interest rate debt on this opportunity!
Located in the Centerton, Arkansas
In recent years, the region has seen a swelling population of tech-workers as Walmart battles it out with Amazon in the online retailing space.
Bentonville
Over the past decade, Northwest Arkansas has emerged as one of the country’s most dynamic economic regions.
The Northwest Arkansas
MSA has become the 31st fastest growing and the 102nd most populous U.S. metro," according to economist Mervin Jebaraj.
Located only 7 minutes from Watercolors of Centerton, Walmart's new Bentonville, Arkansas, campus will open its door to employees in phases throughout 2025, and the company is using the new 350-acre dig as a way to entice its employees back to work.
Its dangling a giant fitness center - equipped with a nearby childcare facility, three pools and a mediation garden. The Walton Family Whole Health & Fitness center and childcare facility will open in late 2023.
It will include 12 office buildings, amenity buildings, parking decks, and surface lots. The campus can accommodate between 18,000 and 19,000 people.
Walmart's HQ will feature food trucks plazas in various locations across campus; coffee bars and grab-and-go stations that will offer organic and healthy snacks and meals; and in-office pantries on each floor.
As shown above, the current developer has focused on occupancy rather than increasing rents up to current market rates. As the next owners, we will have the opportunity to raise rents $200 - $400 above in place numbers.
Last year, Bentonville was the fastest-growing in the state and the 28th fastest-growing in the nation, based on growth estimates from April 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021. Its population rose by 4.8% to 56,734, from 54,120.
With the population steadily increasing, and the booming job market in this region, rents will only continue to increase.
The comparable properties nearby prove that there is a clear path to achieve higher rents.
Over 24 months, we plan to gradually increase rents upon renewal between $200 - $250 on average. Even after our projected rent increases, our average rents will still be in line or below most of the comparable properties in the area. The market data proves a clear path to achieve higher rents without necessarily doing anything. Our property management company feels extremely confident after installing smart features to each unit and improving the on site amenities, we will not experience difficulties achieving these project rent amounts.
For Phases 1&2, we are assuming a fixed-rate
Fannie Mae loan at 3.49%.
This puts us at an extremely low loan-to-value of 62% LTV!
For Phase 3, we are speaking with a local community bank who is very interested in financing Phase 3.
Our interest rate will be locked before closing and will be fixed for 5 years.
The rate will be based off Wall Street Journal Prime + 0.25%.
We have nearly 2 years of interest only remaining. When we start paying principal & interest on the loan
Today, this would be 6.50%. By the time we close Phase 3, we are being conservative by adding 0.25% (25 BPS) to our underwriting.
With Phase 3 not closing until 2023, our team still has time to search for the most competitive terms possible.
*Using 'Worst Case Scenario' in underwriting model.
While our price-per-unit is slightly higher than comparable sales, the market continues to appreciate and we expect these averages to increase substantially over time. The majority of the properties in this chart have a much older construction year than Watercolors of Centerton.
Personal biases, convenience, and emotions are highly likely to cloud your vision when in search of a local investment opportunity. Investing elsewhere forces you to rely on the property-specific data and removes the emotional component from the process, resulting in a higher likelihood that you’ll invest based on preset criteria and goals.
By constraining yourself to invest locally, you’re barred from options in other markets representing the ideal mix of investing criteria population and job growth trends, geography, real estate prices, and government and state laws that would help you, personally, to meet your investing goals.
A local only strategy leaves room for little to no diversification and could be devastating to your real estate investments if any type of natural disaster, local economic/government issue, or market recession were to occur.
By investing in multiple markets, both locally and out of state, you’re actually creating diversification within your real estate portfolio and protecting yourself from the ever changing market cycles.
When you invest outside of your local area, you’re automatically protected from “stumbling upon” an investment. You can’t get a “great feeling” during a tour or buy into some real estate out of convenience.
Since you’d be throwing money in “sight unseen,” investing across state lines requires a process, intentional communication, and, possibly, more research and analysis on the property to ensure its qualities align with your investment goals.
