Frequently Asked Questions

1 

What type of returns can I expect from your projects?

While every investment carries risk, our projects are structured to target strong, above-market returns. For example, our Meadowview Village community is projected to deliver a 22%+ IRR and a nearly 30% ROI for investors. More importantly, we aim to balance attractive returns with reduced construction risk, so you can feel confident your capital is working harder for you.

​​How do you mitigate risk in your developments?

We focus on fundamentals. Our developments use factory-built homes, which means predictable costs, fewer weather delays, and faster delivery. We also target entry-level price points where demand is highest and supply is most constrained, giving us a strong margin of safety. In short, we build where the market needs it most, with methods that keep costs and risks under control.

Can I invest with my IRA or 401(k)?

Yes. You can invest using retirement funds through a Self-Directed IRA. This allows you to use eligible IRA or former employer 401(k) funds to invest in private real estate projects rather than only public stocks and bonds.

Most investors fund these accounts by transferring an existing IRA or rolling over an old 401(k). When done correctly, these moves are typically non-taxable and handled by a directed custodian.

We can introduce you to custodians who specialize in this process. Upslope Group does not provide tax or legal advice, so we recommend confirming your specific situation with your CPA or financial advisor. You can learn more here about your options and find contact information for an expert on this process.

How does investing with Upslope give me more free time?

We believe your money should be working harder than you are. By investing with Upslope, you gain access to a professionally managed, fully-overseen real estate project that runs without your daily involvement. Instead of chasing tenants or worrying about property management, you can focus on family, travel, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with passive returns.

6

What happens if the market slows down?

At Upslope, we focus on entry-level housing — the segment with the strongest demand even in downturns. By using factory-built construction and conservative underwriting, we keep costs predictable and margins healthy. This approach helps protect your capital and positions us for strong returns when the market rebounds.

7

How are you aligned with your investors?

We don’t take acquisition fees. Our compensation comes only after investors are paid back, so our incentives are directly tied to the success of the project. Investor's return of capital and preferred return are paid out before Upslope receives any equity.

8

When and how will I receive returns?

Preferred returns are distributed earlier in the project. Full return of capital is targeted during Phase 3 (around year five), once home sales profits are realized. Repayments begin after the bank loan is paid off, ensuring investor capital is protected and prioritized.

Can I invest if I am not an accredited investor?

Currently, our opportunities are only open to accredited investors. As we grow, we are selectively taking on new investors.
