Why Invest With Us
Sunage Equity Capital is a boutique equity firm specializing in multifamily real estate syndications. We partner exclusively with Think Multifamily, expanding our access to profitable deals at lower risk. As the managing partner, Francis Aniekwensi personally vets each potential acquisition and invests his own capital in every project.
Benefits of Partnering with Sunage Equity Capital
Lower Volatility: Real estate has lower volatility than stock market investments. Rather than owning a fraction of a company, investors have equity in a physical property, including the land's value and associated buildings, reducing volatility. While it is common for the stock market to rise and fall from day to day, it would be unheard of for property values to rise and fall by double digits in the same quarter.
Solid Returns: We focus on Class B and C apartment complexes with 100 or more units in high-growth markets. This strategy provides the following benefits:
- Multifamily housing features short lease terms and 100 plus tenants, reducing the risk of non-paying leases impact on returns. The size of the complex also produces operational efficiency through an on-site management team.
- The focus on older buildings provides upside potential through renovations, increasing the appreciation we can achieve.
- High growth markets tend to have strong housing demand even in recessionary conditions. Therefore, we can maintain high occupancy rates, increase returns, and reduce investor risk.
Delivers Cash Flow
Most properties qualify for quarterly payments to investors after completing the initial renovation phase.
Multiple Funding Options
We accept funding through cash, Self-Directed IRAs, Solo 401ks, Trusts, and LLCs.
A Hedge Against Inflation and Recessionary Conditions
Commercial apartment complexes tend to be resilient during both expansion and recessions. Values do not trend with the stock market, improving diversification.
Tax Advantages
Real estate investments offer unique tax advantages through asset depreciation, accelerated depreciation on capital improvements, and cost segregation strategies on the initial investment.
Syndications allow you to fund your investment with retirement dollars, which can magnify the tax benefits.
In many cases, it is possible to delay taxation at the sale through a 1031 exchange.
The Process of Investing with Sunage Equity Capital
01 The Consultation
Investing with Sunage Equity Capital is personal and begins with a one-on-one consultation with the owner and managing partner, Francis Aniekwensi. During the call, you will discuss your long-term financial goals and level of interest in available properties, confirm your qualifications, and address any questions you have.
02 Choose your investment level
The minimum investment can be as low as $50,000, below the capital requirements of most single-family homes. The amount you contribute to the deal directly affects your percentage of ownership and distribution payments.
Combining resources with a team of investors allows you to participate in deals you would otherwise be unable to finance.
03 Choose a property that aligns with your financial objectives
Sunage Equity Capital vets deals prior to offering them to investors. You must also complete due diligence and vet the acquisition to determine if the property is a good fit for your investment objectives.
04 Apply to participate
After completing your due diligence, you can apply to participate in the offer. The application includes your investment level and evidence that you qualify as an accredited investor. Sunage Equity Capital must approve the application before accepting funds.
05 Fund the investment
We provide instructions on where and how to wire funds. To protect your investment, funds go directly to the syndication, not Sunage Equity Capital.
