Ever wonder why some investors keep scaling… while others stall after their second deal?

It’s not just about finding good properties —

it’s about how you fund them.

The structure of your capital stack determines how fast (and safely) you can grow.

Here’s a simple breakdown 👇

🔹 Senior Debt: Cheapest capital, but limits flexibility.

🔹 Mezzanine Financing: Bridges the gap between debt & equity — adds leverage without giving up control.

🔹 Preferred Equity: Fixed return for investors, keeps ownership in your hands.

🔹 Common Equity: Where the upside lives — and the risk.

The secret? Alignment.

Get the mix right, and your financing supports growth instead of slowing it down.

I’ve seen developers double portfolios just by restructuring their capital stack — no new investors, no extra risk.

👉 How are you currently stacking your capital — more debt-heavy or equity-heavy?
