We’re heavily value-add driven

Most important metrics (in order)
1. Basis (you can show us any IRR you want and we’ll toss the deal if the basis is bad)
2. Exit basis - heavily tied to #1 (we won’t invest in deals where the exit basis is significantly above current market basis)
3. Stabilized cap rate (yield) - since we focus on value add, the entry cap doesn’t matter at all, as long as we can service our debt. We typically need to get to a 6.5%+ stabilized for a deal to pencil. How quickly we get there plays a role as well (quicker the better for IRR)
4. Unlevered vs levered - this is basically just a gut check to make sure that our leverage isn’t out of control

5. Multiple - we only check this to make sure that they’ll be enough promote for the deal to be worth our time (no point in 20% IRR and 1.2x multiple)
6. Cash-on-cash - We essentially ignore this metric and expect cashflow to be very low during the hold period (unless we’re working with a specific LP who needs cashflow). Often even have to make (planned) capital calls and have earn-outs built into debt covenants to inject more
capital for a value-add aspect of a deal (ex. Tenant buildout)

Since this isn’t really a metric, I didn’t include it, but the most important part of our analysis is whether the deal is actually good real estate

Investing in only *great* RE has allowed us to outperform
