Financial Advantages

Leverage: Excell Fund LLC has established a good working relationship with a number of lending institutions that are willing to extend construction and permanent financing. Our in-house staff works to place loans with the best available sources at the best available rates and terms.

Liquidity: The nature of the project as determined by the feasibility study, which in turn dictates the liquidity of the venture. Projects are being developed as investment properties, and as such have less liquidity and are subject to market conditions present at the time of completion.

Yield: Actual yields are dependent upon the final structure of the project and investment agreement. Excell Fund LLC strives to maintain a profitable minimum pre-tax return on all projects that are undertaken. Typically, these are market rate preferred annual returns, with higher projected returns over the life of the investment.
Risk: Investment in real estate involves a high degree of risk and isn’t suitable for all investors. By investing in an investment with Excell Fund LLC, you are representing that you:

Understand the risks inherent in real estate investment
Are financially able to withstand investment losses
Have determined that real estate investment is suitable for you, considering your financial situation and investment objectives.

Development Strategy

Equity partners typically contribute 20% or more of total development costs to the project. A portion of these funds may be used to purchase the land and existing buildings, with the remainder being used towards overall development costs associated with the project.

The developer will provide the necessary expertise and support to make the project a success. The value that the developer will add to the project will include, but not be limited the following:

The developer will promote the interests of the client by:

Analyzing the site and creating a concept for development of the land
Promoting the project
Arranging for lease commitments
Designing and engineering of a site plan for the project
Preparing for planning, zoning, financing, and marketing
Initiating zoning / annexation / subdivision talks with city / county.

The developer will oversee / direct the following activities during development:

Formation of LLC
Purchasing, marketing, leasing, sale, and closings on the project
Obtaining construction and permanent financing
Bidding and letting of construction contracts
Money and materials management
Distribution of funds for expenses
Distribution of proceeds

In compensation for the contributions that each member of the LLC brings to the organization the allocation of funds will be made in stages. The first allocation will be yearly net proceeds. The second allocation will occur after the refinance of the project and the repayment of all debts associated with the project. The third allocation will occur after the sale of the project and the repayment of all debts associated with the project.
Yearly net proceeds distribution will give the equity partner a market rate priority distribution of annual net profits based on their total capital contribution. If annual net proceeds exceed the market rate priority distribution, the equity partner and developer will share in the remainder of the net proceeds.
Upon the sale or refinance of the development and before the dissolution of the LLC, further allocations of funds will occur. This distribution will be made after the payment of all debts associated with the project to include but not be limited to permanent financing, ,operating costs, real estate commissions and closing costs. After all debts have been repaid, the net sale proceeds distribution will give the equity partner a priority distribution of the equity partners preferred returns. Repayment of Investors’ Capital Accounts balance will be the next priority. If proceeds exceed these capital distributions, the equity partner and developer will share in the remainder of the net sales or refinance proceeds based on their percentage ownership.
