HOW TO INVEST

Real estate has made more people wealthy than any other form of investment. However, real estate investing can come with a steep learning curve and high risks if you don’t know what you’re doing.

That’s where the Bricken Investment Group comes in. We make real estate investing easy for you, and we work hard to mitigate the risks and maximize your returns.

What We Do For You

Find The Best Opportunities

Our focus is on finding niche asset real estate investments. We analyze a ton of deals and only select the top few to invest in and open up to our investors.

Invest Together As A Group

When you invest with us, we purchase the property together as a group. You get all the benefits of investing in real estate with none of the hassles of being a landlord.

Improve Asset Value

We invest in value-add properties in order to maximize growth. We enhance each property through a variety of methods to make it the best it can be.

Distribute The Earnings

We invest together as a group and share the returns as a group too. Investors share in both ongoing cash flow returns, as well as backend equity when we sell.

WHO INVESTS WITH B.I.G.?

Busy professionals

Retirees looking for passive income

Families looking to diversify their portfolio

What are real estate syndications?

Real estate syndications are group investments. As a limited partner passive investor in a real estate syndication, you invest your money alongside dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of other investors, and together, we invest in a commercial asset like an apartment building.

As a passive investor, you have no active responsibilities in the deal. The Bricken Investment Group team, along with the other general partners in the deal, will manage the asset on your behalf.

What are the projected returns?

The projected returns will vary from deal to deal and are never guaranteed. That being said, we are typically looking for deals that provide a 7-8% annual return, along with a 13-15% IRR (internal rate of return).

What’s the minimum investment?

Each deal has its own terms, but generally $50,000 is the minimum.

Do I need to be an accredited investor?

You do not need to be an accredited investor to join the Bricken Investor Club or to invest with us. However, certain deals will be open to accredited investors only.

To be considered an accredited investor, you must meet one of two criteria. Either you have $1 million in net worth, not counting your primary home, or you make $200,000 per year (or $300,000 together with your spouse), have done so for the last two years, and intend to continue doing so this year.

How long are the hold times?

The average projected hold time for our investments is 5-7 years.

What types of assets does Bricken Investment Group focus on?

At Bricken Investment Group, we focus on B and C class multifamily apartment communities with 100+ units and light value-add opportunities, in growing markets throughout the Southeast, as well as remaining open to opportunities that make sense for us in other asset classes.

What markets does Bricken Investment Group invest in?

We focus primarily on growing markets in the Southeast, though we invest in other parts of the country as well.

When evaluating any market, we look for strong job growth, population growth, and job diversity, among many other factors.

Are multifamily syndications recession resilient?

People will always need a place to live, so the demand for housing, particularly affordable and high quality housing, will remain high even during a downturn.

At Bricken Investment Group, we invest in B and C class multifamily assets. B class tends to be higher quality and in better neighborhoods, with tenants who are financially secure.  The types of C class we like tends to have a low income/workforce housing component that makes for a more stable renter.

This ensures that, even during a recession, occupancy and NOI (net operating income) will remain higher, mitigating risk and protecting your investment.

Is my investment safe?

At Bricken Investment Group, capital preservation is our #1 priority. Above all else, we do everything in our power to protect your hard-earned money.

While there are no guarantees with any investment, we ensure that every deal has plenty of reserves, ample buffer, and multiple exit strategies in order to best protect your capital.

What are the tax advantages of investing in syndications?

In order to get the most accurate tax information for your unique situation, we highly recommend you consult your own CPA.

That being said, as an investor in a real estate syndication, you get the pass-through tax benefits of owning the real estate itself. This includes accelerated depreciation and cost segregation, which can help to lower the taxable passive income you receive.

Each year, you’ll receive a Schedule K-1 reporting your income and losses for the investment.

Further, if you’re a real estate professional, you may be able to apply these paper losses to your ordinary income as well. Again, consult your CPA for details.

How do I get started?

To get started, join the Bricken Investor Club. We’ll take some time to get to know you and your investing goals, and then we’ll share upcoming investment opportunities with you.

The Bricken Investor Club is free to join, and there are no commitments to invest.
