Ascent Equity Group Syndication Investing

We know how difficult physician life can be. If you didn’t know yet, Ascent was created by 3 Physician Fathers to help their peers achieve financial freedom through a unique and innovative, yet proven, investment approach. We know how important it is to spend quality time with your loved ones, create special memories, and reach your financial goals. This is our ‘why,’ and it drives everything we do. It takes a lot of work to make these deals happen, but it’s always worth it. Thank you for trusting Ascent Equity Group with your investment journey!

You may have noticed a drop in available multifamily deals and think it’s because of interest rates, but that is only part of the reason. Even when interest rates were in the teens in the 1980s, people still made money on deals.

The real reason we’ve seen fewer deals recently is because of something called negative leverage. This occurs when the interest rate on a loan is higher than the return on investment (ROI) that the deal generates, making it a deal not worth pursuing.

For example, if you secured an interest rate of 5% but were buying a property that only yielded a 4.5% ROI, it’s clear that wouldn’t be a sound investment.

Unfortunately, across the nation, we’re seeing high interest rates paired with low cap rates, which leads to negative leverage and makes most deals not worth pursuing.

However, deals with higher cap rates—and therefore a higher ROI—than the interest rates on the loans are called positive leverage deals. These are the rare opportunities that make sense in today’s market.

We’ve secured one of these rare positive leverage deals: Sunrise in Chandler. We’ve locked in a fixed interest rate of 5.49% for five years and are purchasing the property at a cap rate of 6.01%, meaning our ROI exceeds the interest we’re paying.

This is a rare opportunity because even if interest rates drop in the future, the market will likely adjust by lowering cap rates, negating any meaningful benefit.

We still have a limited amount of space left in Sunrise in Chandler, offering substantial positive leverage. If you’d like to be among the last to invest before we officially close this week, click the link on bio or visit ascentequitgroup.com/deals/

We’ve talked a lot about how we’re not seeing the expected deluge of distressed properties that was forecasted for this market. That’s one of the reasons why we’re now shifting our focus to preferred equity deals and properties in other sectors. The two key factors to remember are that preferred equity gets paid out before common equity on the capital stack. The bank, or lender, is first priority, after them is preferred equity and after that is common equity.

The second key to remember is that preferred equity pays out through high monthly distributions with consistent cash on cash. There’s a lot to love about pref, the downside of it is the returns are capped upon sale, unlike common equity. Determining if that trade off is worthwhile or not depends on the specifics of the individual deal, though it is generally favorable.

These investors are saying “YES” to Sunrise in Chandler. And we love this deal, too, for these three reasons:

𝟏. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡-𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞
This deal will be cash-flowing from day one, providing immediate returns on your investment.

𝟐. 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
The fixed interest rate and 5-year loan term provide stability and downside protection, while the on-site team's proven track record of 97% occupancy and zero bad debt minimizes risk.

𝟑. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞-𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬
Only 11% of the units have been renovated, presenting a significant opportunity to increase rents by an estimated $250 per unit and boost the property value by 20% or more.

In every one of our deals, people rush in at the end, and several people miss out. Here’s your chance to invest in a cash-flowing deal in 2024. Closing really soon! Hurry and visit ascentequitygroup.com.

We made the terms for Sunrise in Chandler even better for investors! Read on to hear why…

If you’re wondering what changed, Class B, C, and D got improved profit splits AND easier to qualify for. Class A will remain the same. All the preferred returns are the same, but we change the split at the end after you’ve gotten your preferred return and money back. Instead of getting 75% of the profits after you get your preferred return and your initial investment back, now you’ll get 80% for Classes B & C, and 85% for Class D. The hurdle for each class has also dropped to 150k, 300k, and 500k making them easier to hit.

Now, you might be wondering why we are improving the terms despite being almost full. We think now is one of the best times to invest in real estate, but as often happens, when it’s the best time, it’s also the scariest. This was true in 2008-2009, and it’s true now.

So, to make it easier for you to decide, we’re changing the terms to make the higher classes more accessible.

Ascent was created to help as many physicians as possible invest in high-quality real estate. We haven’t seen a better multifamily deal like this since 2023 and may not see another until 2025.

Investing in residential real estate can be challenging since the investor is typically responsible for handling multiple tasks. These responsibilities include finding a suitable property, arranging for funding, renovating the property, screening potential tenants, and performing regular maintenance. However, the most challenging part is that the process continues, as the investor must repeat most of these tasks when the tenant’s lease expires.

On the flip side, there are fully passive investments in commercial real estate. These are professionally managed and operated investments so you don’t have to deal with any of the three scary T’s – Tenants, Toilets, and Termites. Oh my!

According to Forbes, once investors begin to understand passive commercial real estate investments, it’s common for them to move toward syndications. Check out the reason why through our blog ascentequitygroup.com/blog/

In just three years, Ascent has proudly acquired nearly half a billion in assets and raised a hundred million in equity. But who are we, really?

Since there are many new names in our network, we want to take a moment to re-introduce ourselves.

After investing in syndications for years, Peter, Pranay, and Mith realized that there wasn’t a great educational resource for people getting started in syndication investing. They created a course and had thousands of students go through it and successfully invest over $500,000,000. Despite having all the knowledge to find, vet, and invest in deals themselves many students asked if they could invest in the deals that Peter, Pranay, and Mith were investing in and potentially get better terms together. That’s where Ascent Equity Group started.

We share this because who you choose to invest with matters just as much, if not more, than the deals themselves.

If you have any questions about Ascent, how we do things or our current deal, please email us or book a call through our website ascentequitygroup.com.

It’s in a prime sub-market with an incredibly high, steady occupancy rate and is already cash flowing.

⇒ It’s currently 97% occupied.

You might be wondering, if it’s already at 97%, how will we profit from it? Sunrise in Chandler hasn’t been updated in over a decade and desperately needs interior and exterior renovations. Only 11% of the units have been upgraded so far which creates a fantastic opportunity as a value-add multifamily asset.

Offering competitive rents, high-quality amenities, and excellent tenant services will be crucial to attracting and retaining residents in these competitive market environments – which, thankfully, is something we excel at.

One of the most frequent questions we get is “What questions should I be asking?” So we’ve compiled the best questions that we’ve gotten.

Feel free to skim for keywords of things you’ve been wondering about and if we didn’t address your concern here, simply comment down below and we’ll get that answered for you.

Here are some points to consider before deciding on a loan:

1. Evaluate your financial situation: Can you handle a changing interest rate or do you prefer the stability of a fixed rate?
2. Consider the loan term: Short-term loans might benefit from a variable rate, while long-term loans might be better with a fixed rate.
3. Think about the current economic environment: Are interest rates likely to rise or fall in the future?

Which type of loan suits your investment right now? We want to hear from you in the comments below.

Trying to decide between fixed and variable loans? It's not always a straightforward choice. We broke down the differences between fixed and variable rate loans in our latest blog, providing valuable insights to help you make an informed decision for your investments. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, understanding these loan types is crucial for your financial strategy.
