Partner with a builder who’s been delivering since 1990

Partnership structures

How we typically structure partnerships

Exact terms are always deal-specific and documented in writing after underwriting — never set by this website.

Fixed return · secured position · first out

Loan structure

Capital is advanced under a loan-style partnership with a preferred return profile and defined priority in the capital stack. Exact rate, security package, and repayment timing are deal-specific.

  • Illustrative preferred return (not guaranteed)
  • Priority relative to equity residual
  • Defined hold and repayment discussion in writing

Pro-rata profit participation

Equity structure

Capital participates in residual project economics after costs, loan payoffs (if any), and agreed waterfall terms. Upside and risk are shared per the operating documents.

  • Residual profit participation (illustrative splits only)
  • Aligned with project outcome
  • Reporting and distribution schedule in the agreement

Base return + profit kicker

Hybrid structure

Combines a preferred return component with a defined share of residual profits. Designed for partners who want downside-first economics with optional upside participation.

  • Illustrative preferred base + kicker
  • Balanced risk/return discussion
  • Fully documented per transaction

Investor FAQs

Straight answers for sophisticated partners. Nothing here is legal or investment advice.

How is capital protected or secured?

+

Security and priority depend on the structure and written agreements for each deal (for example, loan documentation, liens, or entity interests). Protection is never absolute — real estate projects carry risk. Exact collateral and rights are defined only in the transaction documents.

What is the minimum investment?

+

Minimums are deal-specific and confirmed during underwriting. The interactive modeler uses illustrative controls for education only and does not set a formal minimum offering size.

Who holds title?

+

Title is typically held by a project entity or as specified in the deal documents. Structure varies by loan vs equity participation and is confirmed in writing before funding.

What reporting is provided?

+

Partners can expect milestone updates through permits and build, with budget/timeline visibility consistent with Vantage’s no-surprises approach. Frequency and format are specified in the partnership agreement.

What happens if the home sells below target?

+

Outcomes follow the contractual waterfall. Equity residual may be reduced or eliminated; loan structures may still face timing or recovery risk depending on security and market conditions. Nothing on this page guarantees a result.

Can I invest through an LLC, trust, or self-directed IRA?

+

Often yes, subject to the entity/IRA custodian requirements and the project’s subscription documents. Confirm with your advisors and the deal counsel before funding.

Why Warren, Watchung, Basking Ridge, and Millburn–Short Hills?

+

These are core Vantage markets with deep local knowledge, trade networks, and off-market relationship flow across Somerset, Morris, Union, and Essex counties.

How do I start?

+

Request the Investor Overview, model an illustrative scenario for discussion, then schedule a conversation with Victor. Formal terms begin only after underwriting and written agreements.
