Investment Strategy
Before placing equity into properties our operators are looking to acquire, we go through a few due diligence processes to ensure the best returns for our investors.

Due Diligence
Several sophisticated Underwriters ensure that the figures make sense to our investors. reaching out to lender brokers. We confirm any costs for value addition with property managers and contractors. Also, check if there’s a demand for our value-add strategy.
Each asset goes through a thorough due diligence procedure to verify its physical and legal status as well as its valuations to ensure that investment plans are feasible.
The debt and equity financing plan is created early on in the asset evaluation process based on a variety of variables, including the type of property, the scope of renovations, the anticipated hold time, and investor goals. Depending on the specifics of the business plan, each asset is normally retained for 5 years or more with the option to refinance at year 5.
Quarterly Reports
Reports as well as payments will be sent out quarterly. These quarterly reports will consist of what improvements the property is going through, current occupancy, rent increases, etc. This information will be coming directly from our operators.
Exit Strategy
After holding for 5-10 years, it’s time to sell and enjoy the returns we work hard for. However, based on the property type the we have the infinite “exit no exit “. Where the property is refinanced, investment is returned to investors and get infinite cashflow from the property.
Equity Sales are shared between the investors and BAS Capital, and these are typically shared with 80 to 20 percent in favor of our investors.
The sale would also depend on the current condition of the market which was already taken into consideration during the research and Due Diligence stages. By making the deal attractive for buyers, we always make sure to leave some value add opportunities on the property.
