How do you perform due diligence on your investment offerings?Each investment opportunity is carefully sourced, identified and underwritten. Our underwriting team conservatively models each transaction using proprietary financial models featuring rigorous stress testing and institutional quality analysis. Among the factors considered are: (i) track record of sponsor, (ii) ability to obtain financing, (iii) location and proximity to transit and amenities, (iv) carefully selected market comparables and competitive analysis, (v) supply and demand dynamics, and (vi) performance under distressed or stressed scenarios. In our opinion, the key to reducing investment risk is reliance on strict controls regarding the underlying investment. During the due diligence process of the underlying assets, we require projects be in locations in the local real estate market with clearly demonstrated and identified value. In particular, we look for projects that will activate the market or location in which it is situated and that offer compelling characteristics tailored for a strong target demographic. In this way, our investments’ success is bolstered through the degree of scarcity and through structuring the final product to have a higher demand than supply in the local market. In structuring and designing investments and investment opportunities, we always take market volatility into account. Through our stress testing process, we run each investment through a rigorous battery of performance tests through multiple distressed scenarios in order to properly analyze risks and understand how scenarios such as the 2008 recession will impact the investment. Through this process, our underwriting team is able to effectively control for risk and structure compelling opportunities for risk-adjusted returns.
