Due Diligence Deposit for the Joint Venture Financing:
As a condition of financing, the USA-based investment fund will require a due diligence deposit that will be used to cover their underwriting expenses.
Joint Venture Equity Participation:
During formal underwriting, the investment fund will determine its equity participation in the project–typically 15%-40%. As such, they will take a minority interest in the project until completion/stabilization when they will look to exit the transaction via refinancing, sale of the project, etc.
Joint Venture Equity Financing Advantages:
• The developer pays no interest during the entire construction period–potentially saving millions of dollars in interest expense;
• Because the investment fund participates as a 100% joint venture equity partner, they assume nearly 100% of the project risk until completion or stabilization;
• Rather than the typical equity of 20% – 40% or more that is required in a traditional financing structure, the developer will only be responsible for a refundable due diligence deposit. This will allow the developer to reduce their up-front capital requirements while retaining a larger percentage of the project.
