Stack Method
Upfront cash. Preferred equity. Balloon refinance.
Our signature two-stage structure combines a significant cash payment at close, an ongoing preferred equity income stream, and a balloon refinance at year five — engineered to maximize seller net proceeds while delivering institutional certainty.
Ideal For
- Commercial assets $3M+ with embedded equity
- Sellers seeking maximum net proceeds vs. a taxable full exit
- Owners willing to carry partial paper for 3–5 years
How It Works
- 01Stage One — Capital Injection
A significant cash payment is wired to the seller at close, sized against verified equity and the agreed structure.
- 02Stage Two — Preferred Equity Payments
The seller receives an ongoing preferred equity income stream above market for the defined term.
- 03Stage Three — Balloon Refinance
At year five we execute a balloon refinance, retiring the carried balance in full.
Seller Benefits
- Maximum seller net proceeds vs. a brokered sale
