What is the typical size of the apartment buildings and Why is it better than single family properties?
We target multifamily apartment buildings with suites ranging from 40-80 suites at the moment. Compared to single-family properties, multifamily apartment buildings provide a lot of tremendous opportunities that are not otherwise available to single-family properties. Below are a few of the benefits:
- Economies of scale
- Predictable building values
- Financing largely depends on the strength of the properties’ income rather than the strength of the borrower’s income
- Stable and strong cash flow
- Risk of lost rent as a result of vacancy is minimized on a per suite basis
Investing With Cacoeli
- Set up a call to go through qualification questionnaire to ensure our goals and objectives are aligned with the investment strategy and opportunities.
- A Term Sheet is provided to the investors who express serious interest. Upon signing, a partnership agreement will be provided to the investors based on the provisions in the Term Sheet. We strongly recommend the investors to seek legal counsel on the Term Sheet before signing.
- A Proof of Fund (“POF”) is required to demonstrate the commitment of the investors in investing with Cacoeli. The initial requirement for POF upon signing is 1/3 of the investment. The fund is then deposited in the trust account of Cacoeli’s lawyer. Detail on deposit requirement is discussed in the offering materials.
In terms of risks, as with all other investment products, there is a risk of losing your investment. However, Cacoeli works very hard to make sure we choose the right cities to invest in, right properties with positive cash flow, and right time for the right exit strategy. Since our profit-sharing model is structured in a way that the principals of Cacoeli receive their share of profits only after the investors receive their investments, investors are essentially quite protected. In other words, Cacoeli only profits after investors profit.
Again, we are only a phone call or an email away. And we aim to respond to any query within 24 hours upon receipt of your question. Remember, we will never leave your questions unanswered.
At the end of 1st year, an annual review of the property will discuss the cash flow distribution based on the forecasted cash flow for future years and current cash position.
Am I Qualified to Invest?
Depending on your province of residence, the provincial securities commissions require all investors must qualify as accredited investors, or invest a minimum amount, or be well known by the principals of Cacoeli Asset Management.
An Accredited Investor refers to an individual who owns net financial investable assets of a minimum of $1 million (excluding principal residence) and earns income greater than $200,000 in the past two years. For couples, they are required to have net assets of at least $5 million and total income of more than $300,000 for the past two years.
If the criteria of an Accredited Investor are not met, individuals can still invest with a minimum of $10,000 as the investment amount or $30,000 according to the new regulation that took effect in January 2016, or are friends, family members/relatives, business associates known by the principals of Cacoeli.
