Joint Venture Equity

Guest post by: Carl Moore

Article Overview: Since institutional equity providers prefer larger deals, developers looking for $3 million in equity, for example, have a hard time getting their attention. But if an organization has the capacity to do seven deals a year, for instance, then the amount of equity inches up in the aggregate of $20 million to $30 million over 12 months, and it hits the threshold where it makes sense.

Joint Venture Equity

Like construction debt, joint venture equity for new construction is very hard to find. Smaller developers working on one-off deals will still find their best success in raising "friends and family" equity. But striking a relationship with an equity provider on a series of deals is a possibility for vertically integrated companies.

Since institutional equity providers prefer larger deals, developers looking for $3 million in equity, for example, have a hard time getting their attention. But if an organization has the capacity to do seven deals a year, for instance, then the amount of equity inches up in the aggregate of $20 million to $30 million over 12 months, and it hits the threshold where it makes sense.

Key to these types of deals is an organizational structure that includes some pretty big overhead costs, such as in-house construction, leasing, inspection, and engineering expertise. A single developer hiring several third-party providers is not as attractive to equity providers.

These "first look" agreements, which were popular in the 1990s, may be coming back in style. Such agreements require the developer to give the equity provider first dibs on any of its deals, and if the equity provider says no, the developer is free to bring it somewhere else As Housing Programs Falter, Administration Weighs New Refinance Plan

Rumors of a new government-led mortgage refinancing program have begun to surface, confirming that the White House is indeed considering a refi push that would allow homeowners to lower their monthly mortgage obligations by locking in today's rock-bottom interest rates.

Some industry insiders are viewing the move as a concession by the federal government that its existing housing programs aren't doing enough. The latest figures from the Treasury show that the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) has yielded just 389,198 permanent loan restructurings - results that even the inspector general has called "anemic, a mere drop in the bucket considering the program's end-goal is to refinance 4-5 million.

A position statement from one of the nation's four largest lenders obtained by DS News points out that while the benefits provided to homeowners under a new refinance program would certainly appeal to policymakers, those benefits would come at a cost.

Namely, a large portion of such efforts would be negated with high redefault rates expected on the refinanced loans, the bank said. Secondly, while a government-sponsored refi wave may help existing borrowers, it could penalize prospective new borrowers, as investors price in the potentiality of another government-driven refi wave in the future. And thirdly, refis would result in large losses for mortgage investors.

Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? - Hi Alan, Welcome to the forum!

Don't leave your Wallet on the table Don't leave your Wallet on the table - Targetzone, Evan has great points on targeting you package. Also I read the revenue model you mentioned and i believe you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Aisde from making just $15/sale of a package you could also be making income from sales generated after the people use the coupon on their second and ongoing visits to the Service/Product company. I've sent you a PM - We can talk more advanced strategies. BTW - I'm a Dollarmakers Member and have taken the Joint Venture BootCamp 101 and highly recommend it if you wish to pursue this idea. PM me privately and we can talk.
Different types of funding Different types of funding - Business Relationship Funding This is another source of funds that can be overlooked. It may be possible to introduce potential alliances to add value to both parties. It may produce an ultimate exit route in the medium to long term. Joint Ventures: Requires a legal agreement embodying the deal and another company Partnerships: Two companies collaborate with possible funding. Joint working relationships: These are an informal partnership which may be more project specific where the parties can share resources. Agencies: These can be geographical or product specific and generally incorporates a payment for the right to the agency. Distributors: Very like an agency but may not necessarily involve up front payment. Alliances: These do not require a separate company and can be embodied by a legal agreement to work together. Trade investors: Otherwise known as Corporate Partnering. This can be a good way to involve a much larger company in the business with a view to possible trade sale further down the line. Associates: This can be a loose arrangement with no fundamental commitments either way, rather like a preferred supplier. Equity Swop: Two companies exchange shares to a similar value to develop both businesses. Franchises: This can allow the business to grow without further direct investment. Licensing: This involves licensing a product or service to enable others to sell it. This requires you to own the intellectual property.

I mean if i really am going to hand over a lot of sensitive information to be handled by staff of your choosing, I'll need to know how you operate with total transparency.[/quote:3738ldxh] Ringo, 1) Send me an email with your proposal and if I like it I shall disclose all that your need. 2) That's my USP! Total transparency is a must when JVing with someone. Let me know your proposal and we may discuss it. In regards to staff dealing with your sensitive information, compartmentalize the data. Have different teams deal with only a section of the whole picture. [quote="ideasuniversity":3738ldxh]How long have you been doing this?
