Upwards of $75 Billion is earmarked for Build for Rent, how to access capital and avoid disconnect

December 15, 2021

When it comes to Build for Rent Financing, its likely that for any development of a BFR community through the project lifecycle from acquisition through stabilization four different loans will have to be sourced and executed. The biggest challenge for developers in this space is replacing the Land + infrastructure (horizontal) loan with the vertical. No one likes starting a development project with financing lined up for only the first portion of the project. What happens if the market shifts during your 18 months of horizontal and then your vertical lender doesn’t like your market, or their total loan dollars for your project drop by 10% and the lender expects you to make up that 10% difference with a surprise cash infusion?

As many much smarter ‘guys’ than me (and smarter women, too) are reviewing the last year; and struggling with Forecasts for 2019, at this time, there has been a lot of discussion about Fed Policy on rates and their impact.

Bloomberg had a recent interview with the legendary hedge fund and financial advisor, Stanley Druckenmiller, who was reviewing the last ten year era; and he was critical, then, (2009); and now, (2019) regarding rates and the liquidity implications of the unwinding of QE policies.

We think some useful language, is to characterize ‘asset bubbles’ or the asset inflation that these policies may have created as a real thing. Actually, many are referring to this period as the ‘Bernanke-Yellen Asset Inflation’ period.

As a Net Lease Investment Advisor and Buyer’s Broker, we face a number of practical challenges in the recent and current Net Lease Market.

Challenge #1: Accessing net lease ‘product’ or properties that match a Buyer’s stated criteria. Reproducing the cash flow of their existing asset is a point of departure, only.
