Five FAQ’s About Belrose Storage Group
When choosing who to invest with, it’s crucial to ask questions and do your research. There are plenty of people or businesses in the commercial real estate space who may not provide total transparency or have your best interest at heart.
But how can you tell the good from the bad? To help make things a little easier, we rounded up five of the most common questions investors ask us. These questions should help you gain a better perspective on who we are as a team, what we stand for, and how we operate.
Have a question you don’t see listed here? Let us know, we’d be more than happy to provide an answer.
FAQ #1: Are You Going to Steal My Money?
Short answer: No!
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme or flash in the pan company getting ready to shutter its doors. We’ve been raising private money since 2010, and we purchased our first storage facility in 2020. We’ve established a business that’s built to be here for the long haul.
We take the responsibility of caring for our investors very seriously, meaning we seek investment opportunities built for longevity, reliability, and security. We don’t ask you to invest in anything we wouldn’t. In fact, we invest in our own deals alongside you — and we encourage close friends and families to do the same. We don’t risk their money on poor investments, and we won’t risk yours either.
FAQ #2: Are You Going to Lose My Money?
If you lose money, so do we, since we’re invested right alongside you. That means it’s in our best interest and yours to make sure the answer to this question is a resounding, “No.”
We choose to prioritize quality of investment opportunities over quantity. That means we’ve implemented an extremely detailed and thorough due diligence process that helps us identify what facilities will be in everyone’s best interest to take on. If something doesn’t look safe enough to put our own money on, we won’t put it in front of our private investors.
In addition to the Belrose team’s detailed selection process, the lenders we work with have their own due diligence as well. This means there are multiple safeguards in place from various companies to identify red flags and thoroughly vet all investment opportunities.
FAQ #3: How Do I Get My Money Back?
There are a few ways we help our investors get their money back, though you should be comfortable having that money inaccessible for a two- to five-year investment period.
We offer periodic preferred payment to investors during the life of the investment. Then, the bulk of your money is returned when the property is sold or refinanced.
FAQ #4: Does Belrose Guarantee My Money?
No, we do not guarantee your investment, and you should be extremely wary of anyone who does. The truth is, no reputable sponsor will ever guarantee money.
However, we put extensive safeguards in place to protect your money by following a thorough due diligence process and conducting extensive market research.
FAQ #5: Are You Experienced Enough for Me to Trust You With My Money?
The Belrose team consists of professionals with extensive backgrounds in the commercial real estate space. We acquired our first facility in August 2020 and have continued successfully acquiring self-storage facilities since. Before turning our focus to self-storage facilities, Belrose had seven other multi-million dollar businesses in the real estate industry.
