In September 2017, we invested $4 million in the acquisition of the Brandywine Hundred Apartments, a 301-unit apartment complex in Wilmington, Delaware. The business plan involved performing light improvements to the apartments to boost rental income.

Today, we’re pleased to announce that the project’s sponsor refinanced the property to pay back our investment, which earned an annualized return of roughly 10%¹ over its duration.

Investor FAQ: How does an individual project impact your portfolio?

This investment was structured like debt, where the project’s sponsor must pay us a fixed rate of return before they can earn a return for themselves, and their equity provides us with a cushion against losses. Throughout the term of this investment, the regular income it generated supported quarterly dividends for the Income eREIT.
