La misión de Up Plex

Elevar a otros brindándoles oportunidades de inversión pasiva y generación de riqueza a través del sector inmobiliario.

Es un hecho conocido que poseer bienes raíces puede ser uno de los mejores vehículos de inversión pasiva para usted. Más específicamente, edificios de apartamentos y bienes raíces comerciales. Sin embargo, también conlleva una increíble cantidad de complejidades al intentar adquirir dichos activos y hemos descubierto que esa es la razón por la que la mayoría de los inversores principiantes se abstienen de intentarlo.

Por eso, nos propusimos hacer que sea más alcanzable para los inversores invertir en estos increíbles activos generadores de riqueza con confianza. Como socio limitado, puede aprovechar nuestro tiempo, red y décadas de experiencia para generar tranquilidad con cada inversión que realice con nosotros. Hacemos todo lo posible para mitigar la mayor cantidad de riesgos posible. Tanto es así que no ofreceremos una oportunidad en la que no estemos invirtiendo nosotros mismos.

The Up Plex Mission

Elevating others by providing wealth-building, passive investment opportunities through real estate.

It’s a known fact that owning real estate can be one of the best passive investment vehicles for you. More specifically, apartment buildings and commercial real estate. However, it also comes with an incredible amount of complexities in trying to acquire such assets and we’ve found that to be the reason most beginner investors shy away from pursuing.

So we set out to make it more attainable for investors to invest in these incredible wealth-building assets with confidence. As a limited partner, you get to leverage our time, network, and decades of experience to create peace of mind with every investment you make with us. We do our best to mitigate as much risk as possible. So much so that we won’t offer an opportunity that we aren’t investing in ourselves.

Our Success Formula

Underwriting & Negotiating

Detailed underwriting determines the amount of negotiating that can be done with a seller on price and terms. Our experience allows us to properly analyze an asset and mitigate as much risk as possible for our investors.

Contract Review / Due Diligence

We have established the best legal and due diligence teams for our syndications. This allows us to simultaneously expedite two incredibly time-consuming tasks that most beginning investors struggle with.

Closing & Reassessment

There is more to closing than just signing on the dotted line and handing over the keys. There is an equal amount of critical work that needs to be completed soon after to ensure the success of a syndication.

Enacting Business Plan / CapEx

We identify and prioritize the necessary projects and execute them based on funding and critical need. Simultaneously, our expert CapEx team gets to work by coordinating with asset and property managers to assist in stabilizing the property.

Stabilization / Refinance

This process usually takes just over 2 years (depending on the market) and involves everything from completing CapEx, to ensuring organic fair market rent growth, to managing tenant turnover, all while working to decrease expenses.

Sale/Disposition

When it comes time to sell, we prepare the property to show as cost-effectively as possible. Once sold, we ensure that we properly close out business transactions and 3 months after the sale, we deliver all sales proceeds (return of capital) to our investors.

Nuestra fórmula del éxito

Suscripción y negociación

La suscripción detallada determina el grado de negociación que se puede realizar con un vendedor sobre el precio y las condiciones. Nuestra experiencia nos permite analizar adecuadamente un activo y mitigar el mayor riesgo posible para nuestros inversores.

Revisión de contrato / diligencia debida

Hemos creado los mejores equipos legales y de due diligence para nuestras sindicaciones. Esto nos permite agilizar simultáneamente dos tareas que consumen muchísimo tiempo y con las que la mayoría de los inversores principiantes tienen dificultades.

Cierre y reevaluación

El cierre implica mucho más que simplemente firmar en la línea de puntos y entregar las llaves. Hay una cantidad igual de trabajo crítico que debe completarse poco después para garantizar el éxito de una sindicación.

Implementación del plan de negocios / CapEx

Identificamos y priorizamos los proyectos necesarios y los ejecutamos en función de la financiación y la necesidad crítica. Al mismo tiempo, nuestro equipo experto en gastos de capital se pone a trabajar en coordinación con los administradores de activos y propiedades para ayudar a estabilizar la propiedad.

Estabilización / Refinanciación

Este proceso suele tardar un poco más de 2 años (dependiendo del mercado) e implica todo, desde completar el CapEx, hasta asegurar un crecimiento orgánico y justo del alquiler en el mercado, hasta gestionar la rotación de inquilinos, todo mientras se trabaja para reducir los gastos.

Venta/Disposición

Cuando llega el momento de vender, preparamos la propiedad para mostrarla de la forma más rentable posible. Una vez vendida, nos aseguramos de cerrar adecuadamente las transacciones comerciales y, 3 meses después de la venta, entregamos todos los ingresos de la venta (retorno de capital) a nuestros inversores.

When it comes to passive investing and different sources of income, we might have something useful to say.

As many of you know, we are laser-focused on investing in apartment syndications/commercial residential Real Estate Investing/ Group investing. While waiting for the right deal, we often have the need to be “liquid” (to have funds readily available to upfront the expenses of putting a property under contract and preparing the offering for other passive investors. Also, as you all know, money in the bank is money not working for us. We found one way to put our money to work short term is through Private Money Loans. This creates a win-win situation that can be very profitable.

We share this strategy with our friend Quest Trust Company. Click on the recording to learn more about it. Below are some resources.

Real Estate Investments – one of the strategies to make some money is using the real estate investment vehicle. This strategy gives asset stability, tax advantages, leverage debt, allows for diversification, cash flow in the present, appreciation in the future, and can be done passively or actively.
Private Money Lending/Loans – it’s the ability to fund those potentially in need of money. It’s a way to preserve capital and a passive way to make money. To know more about Private Money Lending/Loans, read https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/finance/private-money-loan/

House Flippers – someone who buys a property and sells it for a profit. These people usually use the BRRR strategy, which means buy, renovate, rent, refinance and repeat. More explanation of house flipping in https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/012617/how-get-loan-flip-house.asp

Bridge loans – is the ability to help somebody close their deal by funding the deal. Read more about bridge loans at https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bridgeloan.asp

Partnership loans – is the ability to fund the capital and get compensated as a risk capital which is the upfront cost of setting up syndication or partnership.

Short-term Rental startups – is the ability to fund somebody that is looking for money until they can actually start cash flowing their business.

When funding money to somebody, it is really recommended to be prepared with a promissory note assisted by a lawyer and get in touch with the title company for the person who needs the funding.

Determine your terms and be strategic with your loan length and interest rates. When you’re crunching your numbers, you have to determine what’s the value you are going to get.

Private money lending/loan needs and the ability to fund will only present themselves if you talk about what you do. In general, first-time loans come about through a connection.
