BETTER BENEFITS FROM THE EQUITY YOU ALREADY OWN

What would you like your equity to do for you now?

You don’t have to sell to get it. What we do is counsel you to the benefit you actually need, with every structure built to preserve your capital first.

THE BENEFITS ON THE TABLE

Your capital and agreed interest come back in full before any ownership distribution reaches us.

Pick the one that matters most. That is where our first conversation starts.
For seasoned owners of real estate, notes, and land who no longer want to drive every deal themselves.

HOW CAN WE HELP

Bring us equity, or bring us a problem.

DOOR ONE · PROJECT BY PROJECT

Use my equity

Property you hold free and clear, notes you carried back, land, or cash earning less than it should. We structure the path together, project by project, with you in the passive seat. We don’t run a fund.

DOOR TWO · ADVISORY & CONSULTING

Counsel, on your side of the table.

A deal you want structured right, or an operation you want to run better, without bringing us in as partners. We do the homework and tell you honestly whether we can help. The first conversation is complimentary.

EQUITY MANAGEMENT · SAFETY FIRST

Built so your capital comes back first.

We can’t guarantee the market, so the order of payment is in writing. This is equity management as we practice it, the waterfall we propose in a joint venture:

THE ORDER OF PAYMENTPAID AHEAD OF OUR UPSIDE
01
Your equity funds in a preferred position

Interest at a rate agreed before we begin

02
Cash flows repay you first

After expenses and reserves, cash goes to your interest and principal first

03
Our capital stands behind yours

We fund at least 20 percent of the project alongside you; if it goes wrong, our capital recovers after yours

04
Ownership shares in the upside last

Profits split by ownership only after your capital and interest return

At year five, an independent appraisal. Then four doors.

THE APPRAISAL SETS THE TABLEWRITTEN IN BEFORE FUNDING
01
Carry on

Keep the partnership as it is

02
Sell

Sell the project, split per the waterfall

03
We buy you out

At a negotiated price

04
You buy us out

At a negotiated price

WHERE OUR DEALS SURFACE

Our deals surface where equity marketing actually happens: the marketplace rooms of North America, and the brokers we have worked with for years.

We would rather build a relationship than chase a transaction, because in our experience the transactions follow.

Meet the partners

Most owners we meet have a plan sitting on a shelf.

We’re here to help you get it off the shelf. One conversation is usually enough to know whether we can.

Prefer to read first? Our papers, drawn from fifty years of closed transactions, are in the library.

GIVING

The secret to living is giving.

We try to build structures that leave more behind than they take. Una Luz, our nonprofit school in Colombia, serves 32 children, with 100 community meals a day from its kitchen. Every project we close reaches past our partners and our communities: it feeds and educates children, elders, and families living in extreme poverty.

Our giving

Let’s talk.

Tell us what you own and what you would like it to do. Call or text, and you talk to Alejandro directly.
