(PRWEB) October 06, 2015 -- Many properties being offered are currently in private sales discussions with developers or commercial tenants, while going through the permitting and approval process. Property owners often make substantial returns by re-entitling their property to a higher use, however the re-entitlement process can be expensive. To pay for the process owners can sell a preferred equity interest in the property. For example, if a property is valued at $1m and the mortgage is $400k, an investor(s) could payoff the mortgage on the property and in return become a preferred equity holder with a 35-45% equity stake in the deal. When the primary owner sells the property, the investor receives their initial capital back with a preferred return of 4-5% p.a., plus his or her portion of the appreciation. The primary "non-preferred" owner is the managing member of the entity owning the property and is responsible for the expenses of owning and completing entitlement of the property
