I’m working with a client on a downtown Jackson, MS mixed-use redevelopment in a federal Opportunity Zone. Exact address withheld for now, but it’s in the Capitol-area core/CBD with strong demand drivers.

Market / Leasing Snapshot

Downtown Jackson housing occupancy ≈ 95% – real shortage of units.

LOIs are being secured for the residential units and the commercial spaces.

Capital Needed: $345,000

$150,000 short-term piece

Tied to construction

Target repayment: lump sum at/around completion (~12 months)

$195,000 long-term equity

Buys 10% passive ownership in the project LLC

No day-to-day responsibilities

Projected Returns (Targeted, Not Guaranteed)

~6% annual cash yield on the $195k equity (≈ $12k/year at stabilization)

~10–12% targeted annualized return (IRR) over a 10-year hold, including:

Return of the $150k short-term capital

Ongoing cash distributions

10% share of ≈ $1M projected equity at stabilization + future appreciation

Opportunity Zone: With the right OZ structure, after-tax returns may be meaningfully higher (confirm with your CPA).

If this fits your criteria, DM me and I’ll share the investor letter, 10-year pro forma, construction budget, client background, and exact location details.
