Amenity Suites believes that housing should be built with local stakeholders. When we enter new markets, our first goal is finding Development Partners. Development Partners are individuals and businesses with strong networks of local contacts.
It is especially important that a Development Partner have a strong network of potential investors, because we believe in local ownership. The capital stack (the funding) for our projects comes from investors and banks. We strive to fill that capital stack with local investment.
A Development Partner in an Amenity Suites project is responsible for helping to connect with investors. The Development Partner brings in potential investors, and we educate and onboard those investors. It is a true partnership and team effort.
All investors brought in by Development Partners must be Accredited Investors. Development Partners are not required to be Accredited Investors, because they are not required to invest cash. A Development Partner receives "sweat equity" (ownership) in return for their work.
Investors must qualify as Accredited Investors, because every investment in any business must comply with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Our projects comply with SEC Rule 506(c), which only allows Accredited Investors. The SEC defines an Accredited Investor as someone who:
-
1) earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year; or
-
2) has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person's primary residence).
