Are your investment returns protected by the structure of the deal, or exposed by it?

In today's complex commercial real estate (CRE) market, simply finding a good building isn't enough. The difference between losing money and making a high, protected profit lies in your understanding of the CRE Capital Stack AKA the legal roadmap that determines who gets paid first and who maintains control when a deal runs into trouble.

Need deeper knowledge on how to build safer investments that still deliver high returns?

Join us on February 4th for a break down of the debt and equity layers of CRE deals. We’ll show you clear, practical negotiation tactics that give you an advantage, helping you protect your capital and maximize the tax-advantaged growth potential within your SDIRA.

You Will Learn:

  • Risk vs. Reward: Choose the right position (debt to equity) for your SDIRA strategy.

  • Control: Use Mezzanine Debt to take fast control without legal battles.

  • Returns: Lock in your annual payment with Cumulative Preferred Equity.

  • Protect Capital: The 3 Non-Negotiable clauses every contract must have.

  • Partner Accountability: Ensure sponsors have "skin in the game" for true alignment.
