EQUITYMULTIPLE is an online investment platform that connects accredited individuals with exclusive, pre-vetted commercial real estate investments from experienced sponsors and lenders at low minimums. They help accredited investors create and build a diversified real estate portfolio, making passive investments through a secure online platform, from anywhere. While access to real estate has traditionally been synonymous with high investment minimums and limited opportunities, they offer access to frequent and varied opportunities across the country, with investment minimums as low as $5,000. Their focus is on commercial real estate: the core asset classes of multifamily, office, retail and industrial, as well as emerging and alternative real estate asset classes like self-storage, manufactured home communities, and student housing.

By offering private-market real estate investments at low minimums, robust in-house underwriting, and a seamless investing process, they allow individuals to participate alongside experienced real estate firms. Investments made through EQUITYMULTIPLE are managed by professional real estate companies who will deal with all aspects of the property and business plan.Anticipated returns will depend on the risk profile of each transaction and the terms of the offering. In order to consider an investment for the platform, the forecasted returns must fall within their target ranges, which vary by investment structure. These targets are:

• Senior debt: 7-12% annual rate of return;
• Preferred equity: 7-12% current preferred return, 10-14% total preferred return;
• Common equity: IRRs (internal rate of return) of 14% or higher.

Registering for EQUITYMULTIPLE and browsing their investment opportunities is completely free. There is also no cost to investors for initiating an investment. Their fees are charged over the course of the deal and are largely dependent on the success of the investment. They structured their fees this way to better align interests with investors – they are incentivized not only to pick good investment opportunities but also to monitor them for the life of the project. 

• EQUITYMULTIPLE charges investors a small annual fee — typically 0.5% of the aggregate amount invested — that is paid periodically to cover ongoing investor reporting, tax preparation and communications relating to the investment.
• EQUITYMULTIPLE also receives 10% of investor profits after investors have received all of their initial investment back.
• For preferred equity and debt investments, EQUITYMULTIPLE typically takes a servicing fee in the form of a “spread” between the interest rate being paid by the sponsor or originating lender and that being paid to investors.
• EQUITYMULTIPLE also generally charges the lender an origination fee and other charges typically associated with initiating a real estate loan or preferred equity investment.
