Question 1

What is an accredited investor?

Accepted Answer

An accredited investor meets income or net-worth thresholds defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These standards are designed to ensure investors have the financial capacity to evaluate and bear the risks associated with private investments.

Most Sooch Capital offerings are available only to accredited investors.

Question 2

How do I verify my accredited investor status?

Accepted Answer

When required, verification is completed through an independent third-party verification provider in accordance with SEC rules. We do not review or store personal financial documents directly.

This process protects investor privacy while ensuring regulatory compliance.

Question 3

What is the minimum investment amount?

Accepted Answer

Minimum investment amounts vary by opportunity and structure.

We set minimums intentionally to balance alignment, operational simplicity, and investor diversification -- rather than to maximize deal participation. Specific minimums are disclosed prior to any investment commitment.

Question 4

Who is Sooch Capital a good fit for?

Accepted Answer

Sooch Capital is best suited for long-term investors who:

• Value downside protection over headline returns
• Understand that private real estate is illiquid
• Prefer disciplined underwriting to aggressive projections
• Are comfortable investing across market cycles

We are not a fit for investors seeking short-term liquidity or speculative returns.

Question 5

How do I get started as an investor?

Accepted Answer

The first step is a conversation. We take time to understand investor objectives, risk tolerance, and alignment before discussing specific opportunities.

Not every conversation leads to an investment -- by design.

Question 6

What is a real estate syndication?

Accepted Answer

A real estate syndication is a structure where multiple investors pool capital to acquire and operate a property that would typically be difficult to purchase individually.

At Sooch Capital, we act as the General Partner (GP), responsible for sourcing, underwriting, structuring, and operating each investment. Investors participate as Limited Partners (LPs), with no involvement in day-to-day operations.

Question 7

What is the difference between 506(b) and 506(c) offerings?

Accepted Answer

The distinction is defined by SEC regulation:

506(b) offerings may include a limited number of non-accredited investors but prohibit general solicitation.

506(c) offerings allow public marketing but require all investors to be accredited and verified.

We structure offerings intentionally based on the investor base, compliance requirements, and long-term alignment -- not marketing convenience.

Question 8

How are returns typically distributed?

Accepted Answer

Distributions are generally paid from available cash flow after operating expenses, reserves, and debt service.

While structures vary by deal, distributions commonly follow a defined waterfall that prioritizes:

• Return of capital
• Preferred returns (if applicable)
• Shared upside between investors and the GP

Full distribution mechanics are disclosed clearly before any capital is committed.

Question 9

What is a preferred return?

Accepted Answer

A preferred return ("pref") is a target return that investors receive before the GP participates in profits.

It is not a guarantee. Rather, it is a structural mechanism that aligns incentives by prioritizing investor returns ahead of GP upside.

Question 10

How does Sooch Capital make money?

Accepted Answer

We invest our own capital alongside investors and earn compensation primarily through performance-based participation.

Any fees or profit participation are disclosed upfront, aligned with long-term outcomes, and structured to reward disciplined execution -- not transaction volume.

Question 11

Do you invest your own capital in deals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We invest our own capital in every opportunity we sponsor.

Alignment is not a slogan for us -- it's a requirement.

Question 12

What is your typical investment timeline?

Accepted Answer

Real estate is a long-term investment.

Most opportunities are structured with a 5-10 year hold period, depending on the business plan, market conditions, and capital environment. We prioritize durability and downside protection over speed to exit.

We are willing to hold longer if doing so preserves capital and improves risk-adjusted outcomes.

Question 13

How do you source deals?

Accepted Answer

We source opportunities through long-standing relationships with operators, brokers, and industry partners across select markets.

We do not rely on mass deal flow or broadly marketed transactions. Most opportunities we evaluate come through repeat relationships built on trust, execution history, and shared underwriting standards.

Question 14

How do you underwrite investments?

Accepted Answer

Our underwriting process is conservative and stress-tested.

We focus on:

• In-place cash flow and downside protection
• Conservative rent growth and exit assumptions
• Capital structure resilience across rate environments
• Sensitivity analysis for occupancy, expenses, and debt

Deals must perform under adverse scenarios -- not just optimistic ones -- to advance.

Question 15

How many deals do you review before investing?

Accepted Answer

We review far more deals than we invest in.

Most opportunities are declined early due to underwriting discipline, capital structure concerns, or misaligned incentives. Selectivity is intentional -- capital preservation matters more than deployment speed.

Question 16

What happens after an investment closes?

Accepted Answer

Once an investment is made, our focus shifts to execution and oversight.

This includes:

• Ongoing financial review and performance monitoring
• Active communication with operating partners
• Capital allocation decisions grounded in risk management
• Transparent reporting to investors across market cycles

Our responsibility does not end at closing -- that's where it begins.

Question 17

Can I invest through a self-directed IRA or retirement account?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes.

Investments may be eligible for self-directed IRAs or other qualified accounts, subject to custodian rules and tax considerations. We encourage investors to consult their tax and legal advisors before investing through retirement vehicles.

Question 18

Are these investments liquid?

Accepted Answer

No. These investments should be considered illiquid.

There is typically no public market for interests, and investors should plan to commit capital for the full duration of the investment. Liquidity events are driven by asset performance and market conditions -- not fixed timelines.

Question 19

What are the primary risks in real estate investing?

Accepted Answer

All real estate investments involve risk. Key risks include:

• Market risk (rent growth, occupancy, pricing)
• Interest rate and financing risk
• Operating and execution risk
• Capital market and exit timing risk
• Regulatory, tax, and macroeconomic risk

No investment is risk-free. Our goal is not to eliminate risk -- it is to understand, price, and manage it deliberately.

Question 20

How does Sooch Capital mitigate risk?

Accepted Answer

Risk mitigation starts before capital is deployed.

We focus on:

• Conservative underwriting assumptions
• Durable capital structures with downside protection
• Preference for cash-flowing assets over speculative strategies
• Alignment of incentives with operating partners
• Avoiding leverage structures that depend on perfect execution

We underwrite for what can go wrong, not just what needs to go right.

Question 21

What happens if a property underperforms?

Accepted Answer

Underperformance is addressed through disciplined decision-making, not optimism.

Depending on the situation, responses may include:

• Adjusting the business plan to preserve cash flow
• Reallocating capital toward the highest-risk areas
• Holding assets longer to avoid forced exits
• Working closely with operators to stabilize operations

Our priority in all scenarios is capital preservation first, returns second.

Question 22

How do interest rate changes affect investments?

Accepted Answer

Interest rates directly impact financing costs, valuations, and exit conditions.

We account for this risk by:

• Stress-testing deals at higher rates
• Favoring fixed-rate or well-structured debt
• Avoiding short-term maturities that force refinancing risk
• Not relying on aggressive rate cuts in underwriting

We assume rate environments can remain unfavorable longer than expected.

Question 23

Is capital guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No.

Returns and principal are not guaranteed, and investors should be prepared for variability in outcomes. Real estate investing involves uncertainty, and loss of capital is possible.

We believe transparency around risk is essential to building long-term trust.

Question 24

How should investors think about risk vs. return?

Accepted Answer

We believe the best long-term outcomes come from asymmetric risk profiles -- where downside is managed carefully and upside is earned through execution, not leverage.

Our approach prioritizes:

• Avoiding permanent loss of capital
• Accepting moderate returns over speculative gains
• Compounding wealth over full market cycles

This philosophy is not for everyone -- but it aligns with investors who value durability over excitement.

Question 25

Who should not invest with Sooch Capital?

Accepted Answer

We may not be the right fit for investors who:

• Require short-term liquidity
• Prioritize maximum returns over risk management
• Expect predictable or guaranteed outcomes
• Are uncomfortable with market cycles and uncertainty

Alignment matters -- for both sides.

Question 26

How often will I receive updates?

Accepted Answer

Investors receive regular written updates covering property performance, operating highlights, and material developments.

Update frequency may vary by asset and market conditions, but communication is consistent, timely, and focused on what matters -- not noise.

Question 27

What information is included in investor updates?

Accepted Answer

Updates typically include:

• Operating performance and key financial metrics
• Commentary on leasing, expenses, and capital projects
• Notable risks, challenges, or changes in assumptions
• Capital events such as refinancings or distributions

We prioritize clarity and context over volume.

Question 28

Will I have access to financial statements?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Investors receive access to relevant financial reporting, including periodic summaries and annual statements prepared at the property level. The level of detail provided reflects both regulatory requirements and practical usefulness.

Question 29

How are distributions communicated?

Accepted Answer

When distributions occur, investors are notified in advance with clear context regarding:

• The source of funds (operating cash flow, refinancing, or sale)
• Timing and amount
• Any changes to forward-looking expectations

We avoid surprise distributions or unexplained cash movements.

Question 30

How are tax documents handled?

Accepted Answer

Investors receive annual tax documentation, including Schedule K-1s, as applicable.

Timing depends on property-level accounting and third-party service providers. We communicate proactively if delays occur and prioritize accuracy over speed.

Question 31

How do you communicate during periods of underperformance or market stress?

Accepted Answer

We communicate more, not less, during challenging periods.

This includes:

• Transparent discussion of performance issues
• Clear articulation of options and tradeoffs
• Realistic expectations regarding outcomes and timing

We believe trust is built through candor, especially when conditions are unfavorable.

Question 32

Will I be able to ask questions or speak with the team?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Investors are welcome to ask questions and engage in thoughtful dialogue. While we cannot provide individualized investment advice, we value open communication and respond directly and professionally.
