Our Unique Approach

Multi-Family Real Estate

Facts support our belief that the United States is expected to experience a significant demand for rental units. The recession resulted in an unparalleled shift away from home ownership and toward a strong demand for rentals. Millennial's want more flexibility and do not want to be tied to a house. Babyboomer's are selling their homes and moving to apartments in order to have no maintenance. Additionally, the prior recession significantly hindered and reduced the supply of new housing and we are still not caught up with the supply even 10+ years after the last recession.

While construction financing has become easier and new supply is on the rise, the pipeline for new construction is expected to lag U.S. population growth over the long term. Orbit Investments and its investors are poised to take advantage of these economic and demographic factors by acquiring premier B and C multi-family properties with stable cash flow and long term appreciation.

FAQs

What kind of properties do in you invest in?
We currently solely invest in multi-family apartment buildings, one of the most recession proof segments of the Real Estate Market, particularly with the United States population continuing to grow. Even with the continued advancements in online marketing (particularly Amazon) and "work from home" which threatens the retail and office markets, people will always need to live somewhere. Within this segment, we focus on B+ to C+ class multi-family properties and prefer B class in A markets and C+ class in B markets. We believe this positions us in the segment of the market that is shielded most from the ups and downs in the economic cycles. We will also review distressed A class deals in markets with 1MM+ populations.
What is an Accredited Investor?

To qualify as an accredited investor, a person must demonstrate an annual income of $200,000, or $300,000 for joint income, for the last two years with expectation of earning the same or higher income. An individual must have earned income above the thresholds either alone or with a spouse over the last three years. Or A person is also considered an accredited investor if he has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his spouse excluding personal home.

Can I invest even if I am not accredited?
Unfortunately no, you have to be an accredited investor to participate in our deals.
How does Orbit Investments find its Apartment Deals?
We have relationships with the vast majority of all commercial brokers in the Central and Eastern US, who bring us deals often before they go on the open market. We also occasionally engage in direct marketing campaigns and are constantly building relationships with banks to get access to their REO inventory. Once presented with an opportunity our team then underwrites every single property to the highest standards and eliminates those that do not qualify at our rigorous standards. As an example last year our team underwrote 726 properties and with only a little over 20 qualifying for our stringent standards.
What will my return on Investment be?

All our investment and Private Placement Memorandums are based on individual properties, and every property is different and will therefore offer different returns. Our current investors are right now realizing between a 6%-8% preferred cash yield annually, and are expected to double this return upon the sale or refinancing of the property for overall investment lifecycle returns of 10%-16%. Our returns consist of three parts: Preferred Return from Cash Flow: Each investment is selected such that it pays an min. average annual preferred return of at least 6% (depending on the individual property deal this could be higher than that) which is paid out quarterly via direct deposit into your bank account or by check. In other words, the investors get paid first before the sponsors get paid anything. This protects you as an investor and makes sure we only pick projects that have strong cash flow outlooks. Profit Share: Upon a Sale or Refinancing of the property it is our goal to return 100% of the initial invested amount to each investor, and then do a 50/50 profit split between sponsors and investors up to the point where investors doubled their annual return from the Cash Flow (so if Preferred Return from Cash Flow is 6% the profit split is 50/50 until they reached a total "Target Return" of a 12% per year return over the holding period)

How much are these properties leveraged?
This is an exciting point. Over a 5-year period it is our goal to have our properties not be more than 50-60% leveraged. While we start out with a 75%-80% leverage based on purchase price, we decrease that ratio rapidly by actively paying down the loan and by forcing appreciation of the property through value add improvements, superior management, and rent increases, leading to a 5-year loan to value ratio of no more than 60%. This conservative approach provides additional buffer from the ups and downs of the real estate market.
How are the Orbit Investment Apartment Deals Structured?

Great news. You will be limitied liability owner of the property which comes with all the benefits like depreciation and cash flow, meaning the property is owned by a "Property LLC" for which that property is the only asset (reduces liability). You in turn will be a direct shareholder in this Property LLC so in essence you are part owner of the company that owns the property. This allows for a direct flow-through of cash flow, depreciation, and allows you upon sale of the asset to realize long term capital gains ... PLUS, you literally get to tell your friends you "own" an apartment complex, because you do.

Can I invest with my retirement plan?
Yes, investing in Multi-Family in a structure like ours is perfect for retirement plan investing because your involvement is by definition passive. All you need to do, if you haven't already, is set up a SELF-DIRECTED IRA with an independent custodian, like www.IRAClub.org and once that is done you can invest using your IRA/401K/ROTH-IRA... or several other self-directed retirement account forms. If you have questions about how to do that, please contact us through the Contact US form or call us at (480)-845-0171
