WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT: BENA Capital has done what has largely been unheard of in the United States – investing in real estate without using debt. This approach provides us a significant competitive advantage - since we acquire assets using cash, we can acquire properties at below-market rates and more favorable deal terms, there is zero risk of financing default, and we can generate stronger investment returns. WHO I WORK WITH: 1) Investors: Identifying attractive real estate investment options has been a chronic challenge for US investors. BENA Capital fills this void, in a way that enables investors to benefit from real estate ownership who may lack the knowledge, funds, or time to do so on their own. 2) Communities: Delivering value to the communities we operate in is not only positive from an ethical perspective, but it also happens to be good business. We believe that value is created by improving assets and operating them efficiently, not financial engineering. In practice, this results in the acquisition of properties that are quite often a burden to the community – such as those which need an infusion of capital or have been stagnant with high vacancy rates – and making capital and operating improvements. Members of the community have routinely thanked us for the transformative effect we have had. 3) Partners: Our partnerships with real estate brokers, property managers, Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), and service providers are based on mutual respect. We only work with partners who share our dedication to delivering value. HOW IT WORKS: Investors contribute to a BENA Capital fund structured as a limited partnership, and are paid quarterly dividends based on the cash flows generated by the investments.
