Rainmaker
Marketing Corporation's commercial
real estate finance consulting practice focuses on the common due
diligence reporting requirements most commercial real estate finance
projects entail. Most commercial real estate finance assignments
fall into one of the following key reporting areas:
-
Market
feasibility issues; and/or
-
Financial
feasibility issues and capital financing issues; and/or
-
Project
operations, marketing, advertising and sales issues; and/or
-
Project
development and construction issues.
Rainmaker began work in the arena of market feasibility studies back
in the late 1980s. Rainmaker began work in the arena of financial
feasibility studies and/or pro forma financial presentations in the
early 1990s, along with the operations and development programming
consulting services.
Historically, Rainmaker Marketing Corporation
("Rainmaker") has provided:
Today, Rainmaker focuses most of its consulting attention towards the
equity financing requirements of developers and/or sponsors of
commercial income-producing property transactions and/or acquisitions of
commercial income-producing property transactions for further
development. The future is in fractional
real estate ownership interests because:
-
the
incredible access business owners and sponsors have to relevant
business information as a direct result of the proliferation of the
Internet.
-
the ease
of access and transparency levels that serve to create an orderly
market where buyers have immediate access to the same due diligence
and transaction vetting information that the syndication sponsor and
syndication platform provides.
-
the
Internet offers the widest potential audience for a given
syndication whereas print and television media is priced at a level
that makes it unattractive for syndication purposes.
Rainmaker
will offer a look behind the curtain on each project listed for sale via
the fractional ownership tenants-in-common approach. Each new
auction is for units of $25,000.00. If you want one, you pay
$25,000.00. If you have $68,000.00 then you can buy two (2) units
and still have $18,000.00 in the bank. If you want 50 units you
will have to write a check for $1,250,000.00 to get them.
The
fundamental (or expected) equity ownership opportunity can be divided
into three (3) different levels of project investing on an ongoing
basis:
-
Pre-Construction
Phase Projects. These are development projects that do not as
yet have a bankable commitment for a construction loan. The
expectation for these projects is a gross cash return of 150% to
350% for a holding period not to exceed three (3) years. These
projects would be fairly labeled as the riskiest level of investment
we are willing to offer to investors.
-
Construction
Phase Projects. These are development projects that have a
bankable commitment for a construction loan. The expectation
for these projects is a gross cash return of 125% to 250% for a
holding period not to exceed three (3) years. These projects
would be fairly labeled as being less risk-prone than
pre-construction phase projects, but more risk-prone than
post-construction phase projects.
-
Post-Construction
Projects. These are projects that have, by and large,
completed all asset development and construction operations.
The expectation for these projects is a gross cash return of 250% to
450% for a holding period ranging from seven (7) to ten (10)
years. These projects would be fairly labeled as being the
least risky as no substantive development and construction
operations are required.
