Without any out of pocket expense from your development company, we want to vendor partner on your next development to increase profits perpetually.  It is in how your company will lease to see this perpetual increase in profits.  Please request a brief consultation in your response.  

Best,

Calvin Brock

Canesha,

Sorry for just responding. Thanks for reaching out with your expertise.  It's really appreciated.

Currently, A fully leased shopping center and 3 stand alone building owners make up a 8 acre commercial site. This shopping center has a Food Lion, CVS, US post office, and several retail business tenants renting from one private individual LLC owner. One of the stand alone buildings is also owned by the shopping center LLC owner. The other two stand alone buildings are separate individual owners.

My objective is to do a JV split agreement similar to the way you mentioned. Once I have them all under an agreement, I'll get the development approved. I'm connected to the city leaders to get the development approved. I can't see that being a problem.

A lot of the new developments in Charlotte have just a percentage of affordable residential mixed in with the market rate residential to get the incentives, cure the affordable housing problem, and slow gentrification.  The money is made up for the affordable housing in condo sales, apartments, and retail.  Hotels are coming more a part of new developments, too, with mix use projects.

I don't have money.  So I'm looking at syndicating.  Getting everyone under contract with a hypothetical rendering, getting the development approved, and partnering with a developer as a percentage partner.  What do you think thus far?

I'm interested in making the owners stakeholders in a new mix-use redevelopment with retail, office, and mixed-income in lieu of purchasing their properties. Is this kind of deal common? How does this deal work with the tenants' businesses? The goal of the city and community leaders is to not displace businesses and residents but revitalize the area.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence other investment in Cherokee Village.

Ozark Gateway Realty leased to tenants using Jack and Landlords' guarantee in lieu of accepting security deposits. Their tenants not having to put up a security deposit allowed Gateway Realty to fill their vacancies.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Jack and Landlords started in 2014, so we were open to all risk of tenants. After doing business with Gateway Realty over 4 years, our model changed to only contracting with landlords that only lease to low risk tenants.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Ozark Gateway Realty contacted Jack and Landlords from our company's paid advertisement they received through the American Apartment Owners Association.

How did you finance this deal?

Jack and Landlords' guarantee is paid in 1/12 payments over 12 months, by tenants, in addition to the rent each month to their landlords. The landlord's guarantee was paid in full after 12 payments and stayed with the tenant throughout renewals. Landlords logged into their Jack and Landlords' portal, at the end of each month, and paid their premiums.

How did you add value to the deal?

When leasing to tenants using Jack and Landlords, landlords (property management companies) increase their value as follows:
1. Lease to more tenants without the barrier of a security deposit
2. Profit tax-free when tenant damages are lower than the month's rent amount that Jack and Landlords guarantee.
3. Increase renewals. Tenants see a second year lower payment, even with a rent increase, due to having paid in full the guarantee the first year.

What was the outcome?

Over 4 years, Ozark Gateway Realty continued to lease to too high a risk tenants that were above Jack and Landlords' risk tolerance.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Because our landlords qualify their own tenants, Jack and Landlords issue guarantees to landlords that lease to low-risk tenants.

Take the sum of 65% of a month's rent of all the units in your portfolio divided by 2. This amount is your company's working capital without having to borrow or use investor capital. And this working capital is every year with turnover.

We become your 50/50 partner in helping your company grow. Jack and Landlords will contract with your company in guaranteeing a month's rent amount. Instead of leasing with a security deposit, your tenants will pay the non-refundable cost of your third party guarantee, 65% of a month's rent, on top of their rent each month to your company. Our guarantees are paid in 1/12 payments and paid in full at the end of 12 months. Your company then pays its 50% discounted invoice via its Jack and Landlords' portal at the end of each month. Tenants are happy to not pay the security deposit that they've saved up. Plus, tenants are given a 35% discount off, a would have been, a security deposit that's equal to a month's rent.

As previously stated, our invoices are discounted 50%, as an advanced claim payment, thereby, leaving your company 50% of the revenue to manage at its discretion. Do the math and your revenue covers beyond tenant damages and allows your company to profit revenue tax-free. Or, your company's revenue each month can be used at its discretion.

Increase your company's retention. Our guarantees are paid in 1/12 payments and paid in full at the end of 12 months. All guarantees stay in place and effective throughout all tenant renewal years. Because tenants will no longer have guarantee premiums when renewing, your company's retention will increase. Whether rent stays the same or increases by 4%, tenants will have a lower monthly payment when they renew, thereby, increasing retention.

We are the fiduciary way to lease for company growth and investor returns. The one change of leasing with Jack and Landlords, instead of security deposits, is too beneficial to pass up for your company growth and investors.

Well, now, the best answer I have is, "it depends."

Since we began investing in SFRs 8 years ago, we have owned 14 houses, all in the same small town. They all have different circumstances.

  • 2/1 rented to one older couple for 2.5 years until we sold the house. Bought out the remainder of the lease.
  • 3/1 bought in 2012 is still rented to the original tenant.
  • 4/2.5 bought in 2013. 1st tenant rented 2 years, got their whole deposit back, 2nd tenant still there.
  • Very small 2/1 bought 2014. 5th tenant just moved in. All previous tenants got most of deposit back.
  • 3/1 bought in 2014. 1st tenant got 100% back, 2nd tenant 0, 3rd got a little back. 4th moved in Mar 1 this year.
  • 4/2 bought in 2014. 1st tenant moved out June 30th, still owes about $100 for damages that exceeded deposit. 2nd tenant is the county sheriff, who expects to be there about 2 years while his house is being built.
  • 3/1 bought in 2014. This one is currently for sale because we can't seem to keep tenants in it long term. We've had 7 different tenants in this one, 5 of whom left because they bought a house. We kept the full deposit on one, the rest got all or most back.
  • Large 3/2 on 1 acre lot, bought in 2015. The 1st tenant stayed one year, left a broken window and lots of dirt. They got nothing back. The 2nd tenant is still there.
  • 3/1.5 bought in 2016. 2 tenants in the first 2 years, both bought houses, both got their deposit back. Current tenant recently renewed for a third year.
  • Large 3/2.5 bought in late 2016. 1st tenant stayed 1.5 years while building a house, got their whole deposit back. 2nd tenant is our preacher & family. We expect them to be there 5 to 10 years.
  • 3/1.5 bought in 2017. 1st tenant inherited older couple, no deposit, left it it good shape. 2nd tenant just moved in March 1st.
  • 4/2 bought late 2017. 1st tenant moved out in February and left a lot of damage. We billed them a little over $1100 for damages above their deposit, but we'll never collect. 2nd tenant expects to rent long term, or may buy the house from us.
  • 3/2 bought early last year still has it's original tenant.
  • 3/1.5 bought in June is a full gut job. We don't expect to have it ready to rent until next summer.


Overalll, looks like 28% of your terminated leases didn’t get their deposit back.  6 of 21 tenants didn’t get deposit returned fully.  Thanks Silvia.  Your info is what I needed.

I primarily have duplexes in C+ neighborhoods (safe, but lower middle/middle class).  My security deposits are usually either all/almost all or nothing.  Unfortunately, when it's "nothing", that has always meant I took someone to eviction court or they moved out voluntarily because they didn't have the rent.  Which also means I'm typically out over $1,000 because they didn't pay at least the last month's rent and damaged or stole things.

I have seen a HUGE correlation between people who have problems paying the rent and people who cause damage, due to their negligence/carelessness.  And vice versa.  Tenants that are up to date on their rent when they move out get all or most of the security deposit back, because they return the home to me in great condition.

I've only had more than one rental for 5 years, so that will affect my average vacancy rate.  I'd say my vacancy rate is all over the place, but probably averages about 18-24 months. 

 Great info Jennifer!  Thanks
