Let’s be honest—real estate investing can feel like a maze of jargon. Preferred return, equity splits, cash flow waterfalls… it’s enough to make your head spin.
So let’s cut through the noise. A preferred return means you get paid first. Before we, as the project sponsors, see a dime of profit, you receive a guaranteed priority return on your investment. It’s a way to reduce risk, align incentives, and make sure you’re taken care of before anyone else gets a payday.
At Upslope Group, we don’t believe in vague promises or overcomplicated structures. Here’s exactly how our preferred return works and why it matters to you.
How Our Preferred Return Works (In Plain English)
Your money starts working immediately. From the moment you invest, your preferred return starts accruing—even before cash flow begins.
We don’t rush payouts before the project is ready. Real estate development takes time. Since our cash flow starts when we begin selling homes at the end of Phase One, that’s when we start paying out your preferred return.
You get paid before we do. Once cash starts coming in, your accrued preferred return is the first thing to get paid. Only after you’re taken care of do we, the project sponsors, participate in profits.
This structure protects investors while keeping the project financially healthy. It makes sure you’re earning returns from the start, but we’re not forcing early payouts that could strain development.
Why This Matters to You
✅ You Get Paid First—Always
Let’s be clear: We don’t make a dime until you get your preferred return. That keeps us laser-focused on delivering results.
✅ No More Guessing Games
Your preferred return accrues from Day One and starts paying out at the right time—when there’s actual cash flow to support it. That means stable, predictable returns instead of unsustainable early distributions.
✅ Your Investment Is Working for You
Even during the development phase, your money isn’t just sitting there. It’s accruing value, ensuring that once revenue starts flowing, your returns are ready to be paid out.
✅ We’re in This Together
We’re not just structuring deals—we’re building a new model of homeownership. By investing with us, you’re helping create real housing solutions for working families while earning strong, priority returns.
How Our Preferred Return Compares to Others
A lot of real estate investments offer preferred returns, but not all are created equal. Here’s what makes ours different:
🔹 It accrues from the start. Many projects don’t start accruing returns until the property generates income. We start on Day One.
🔹 Payouts begin when the project has real cash flow. This avoids risky, forced distributions and ensures a financially sound investment.
🔹 Investors are truly first in line. We don’t touch profits until your preferred return is fully paid.
