General Questions

+ What kinds of funds does BEO offer?
BEO manages funds focused on tangible assets, including stabilized commercial, broad scoped opportunity as well as development. Each fund is designed to preserve capital with risk mitigations while targeting double digit returns made possible by real estates. This approach provides a framework for sustainable investments, downside protections and consistency in generating returns.
+ How are BEO funds structured?
BEO funds are structured under SEC Regulation D, Rule 506(c), subject to oversight by the SEC, ensuring the fund follows strict rules on transparency, reporting, and investor qualifications. This means investors can feel more confident knowing the fund manager is accountable to regulatory standards, and the fund’s terms, risks, and strategies are clearly documented in each fund offering documentation. 506(c) offering ensures compliance, verification of accredited investors, and a more formalized, secure investment process.
+ How long are the investments held?
The holding period depends on the type of fund. Some funds target shorter terms, such as 24–36 months, while others may have holding periods of 5 years or more. This flexibility allows investors to choose options that suit their timelines and investment strategies, with a focus on balancing risk and reward.
+ How does BEO's vision differ from most private equity firms?
BEO prioritizes capital preservation by emphasizing conservative debt, maintaining cash reserves, and on strategies that have historically proven to work. BEO's vision is to provide everyday investors with access to institutional-quality real estate investments in a way that sets it apart from others. Rather than competing by promising overly optimistic scenarios, the team adopts a conservative approach. This involves applying practical strategies, well-capitalized investments, acquiring properties with strong fundamentals, prioritizing capital preservation, maintaining prudent debt levels, rates and terms, all while fostering transparency.

Returns and Distributions

+ What returns should I expect?
Returns vary according to each fund's strategy and investment focus. Some funds target steady monthly cash flow through rental income from stabilized properties, while others aim to generate returns through value creation, or strategic sales. BEO focuses on achieving returns through risk mitigated investments in markets with solid economic fundamentals, applying prudent historically proven financial strategies, and prioritizing wealth preservation.
+ What is the difference between cash-on-cash return and internal rate of return (IRR)?
  • Cash-on-cash return measures the cash earned on the cash invested, typically expressed annually, providing insight into liquidity.
  • Internal rate of return (IRR) accounts for the time value of money, giving a broader perspective on the overall profitability of an investment over time.
+ When will I receive returns?
The timing of distributions depends on the fund's structure and strategy. Some funds distribute returns monthly, while others provide distributions as available or at the conclusion of the investment, such as after property sales or refinancings.
+ How does BEO address tax benefits?
BEO focuses on maximizing tax advantages, primarily with utilization of advanced depreciation. For our non-development offerings, we complete cost segregation studies to support advancing depreciation as much as possible, which creates a negative taxable income from the investment even though monthly cash flows are received. To find out more about the tax advantages, feel free to reach out.
+ Are there any priority payouts for investors?
