  • It is an essential concept in a real estate investment. It is the profit or "Performance Award" established by the Project in its proposal to the Investor. It is the differentiated participation in the results of a project that exceeds a predetermined profitability threshold. When such threshold is zero (0) it means that the result is distributed "Pari-Passu" (in equal conditions) between the Developer or Operator, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand. On the contrary, when there is a minimum profitability threshold, the result is assigned to the investors who have a collection preference (or Preferred Profitability, see) and once said threshold is reached and said preferred profitability is satisfied, the "Result Award" is shared between the Developer or Operator and the Investors in the contractually pre-established manner.

  • The Annual Target Rate or Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for the Investor. It is an estimate provided by the Developer or Operator that indicates the profitability expectation that the Investor will reasonably receive taking into account its investment and the estimated results of the Project that, if produced, correspond to it by contract. It is the interest rate or profitability that a Project generates for the Investor.

  • It is an estimate provided by the Developer or Operator. There are real estate investments that have periodic monetary distributions or Current Income and others that do not. In those where there is no periodic payment, the Investor expects to receive the total of its profitability with the conclusion of the project. In those investments that have a periodic payment of monetary distributions, every certain amount of time the Investor will be able to receive regular monetary distributions as a result of the progress of the invested Project. The cash yield or Current Income Rate can provide useful insight into the business plan of a Project and the likelihood of receiving regular cash distributions over the course of the Project.

  • They are equivalent. They refer to the agent or entity that carries out and is responsible for the progress, progress and completion of a project. There is a tendency to call it "Developer" when the project has a large construction component or is an "in-well" project; while it is called "Operator" when the project has an acquisition and operation oriented component.

  • Each platform has a different procedure for the recovery of investments. From ACI we take care of managing and depositing it in your account once the established deadlines and procedures are met.

  • It is the interest rate that equals the amount of the investment with the present value of the cash flow to be received in the future.

  • The term "rental pool" refers to a real estate investment scheme in which a community of owners become shareholders of a property, according to the amount of their investment, or their participation in square meters of the total property; all of this is governed by a transparent administration.

  • Residential real estate consists of single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings, townhouses and condominiums.

  • Commercial real estate is property that is used for commercial purposes. They are classified wn: offices, commercial premises, land or multi-family dwellings.

  • The Target Multiplier or Equity Multiplier. It is an estimate provided by the Developer or Operator that reflects the amount of money that an Investor can reasonably receive during and/or at the end of a Project on a cumulative basis measured on the initial investment. For example: If you invested 100 and expect to receive 180, the Target Multiplied is 1.8X.

  • It is an estimate provided by the Developer or Operator that indicates the time frame of the project from inception to completion and closure.

  • The Cap Rate is a term often used when discussing the purchase and sale of real estate assets. It is an estimate provided by the Developer or Operator that involves a ratio of two estimated variables: the annual net operating income that a property generates/will generate and the current value or sales price of a property, which helps determine the potential return on an investment. Stated another way, it is the rate at which the annual net operating income recapitalizes the value of the asset annually. The Capitalization Rate is a useful tool often used to evaluate real estate investment opportunities and quick comparisons between asset classes. For example, if a property is projected to sell for $1M and its annual net operating income will be $100K, the Capitalization Rate is 10%.

  • An increasing number of investors are discovering the benefits of diversifying their portfolios by investing in real estate assets. As we delve deeper into this growing form of investing, it is important for investors to understand the important differences between direct and indirect real estate investments, as these can have important implications for risk, returns and diversification.
