Acquisition and sale of investment assets

ERA CAPITAL · Real estate advisory

Reflective modern facade

Asset transactions require an understanding of market cycles and accurate risk assessment. Support of the buying and selling processes in ERA CAPITAL is revealed in the full-cycle methodology: from the search for liquid objects and Due Diligence to tax structuring and transaction closure. Facts and analytics provide the basis for decisions, providing predictability in a changing market.

Behind each investment transaction is a financial logic: target return, ownership horizon, funding structure, rental flow risks and exit scenario. ERA CAPITAL supports the purchase and sale of investment assets at all stages - from setting the task to closing the transaction.

What about real estate investment assets?

In the context of the capital market, investment assets are assets that generate rental income or have the potential to grow value within a particular investment strategy.

Major asset classes:

  • Office buildings and business centers range from individual blocks to large campuses.
  • Warehouse and logistics complexes - dry warehouses, refrigeration terminals, light industrial.
  • Shopping facilities - shopping centers, street retail, shopping and entertainment complexes.
  • Hotels and aparthotels.
  • Multifunctional complexes (MFCs).
  • Land for development or redevelopment.
  • Ready-made rental business is an object with existing tenants and stable cash flow.
  • Portfolios of objects are several assets combined into a single investment structure.

When do you need professional investment support?

The commercial real estate market is not public: most major transactions are closed outdoors, through direct negotiations between the seller and a qualified buyer.

Purchase of an object for rental income

An investor is looking for an asset with a clear rental profile, an acceptable capitalization rate and manageable risks. The task of the consultant is to find objects that meet the investment criteria, conduct an independent assessment and identify hidden risks before signing the contract.

Sale of an investment asset

The owner exiting the asset is interested in maximizing the price and minimizing exposure time. This requires: a correct market assessment, a quality investment memorandum, access to the target audience of buyers and competent management of the negotiation process.

Buying a Ready Rental Business

Acquisition of an object with existing tenants requires a detailed analysis of the contractual basis: lease terms, indexation conditions, termination options, the quality of tenants and their financial stability. The price of the error here directly affects the real return on the asset.

Exit from the project

A developer or co-investor who has completed the construction phase often seeks to capture profits and redistribute capital. Exit support includes preparing the object for sale, forming an investment profile and finding a buyer who is ready to pay for a stabilized asset.

Sale of portfolio of facilities

Portfolio sales are more complex than a single transaction: it is necessary to structure the offer so that the portfolio is perceived as a single investment product, and not as a set of disparate objects. This requires separate analytics, packaging and working with institutional buyers.

Acquisition of object for redevelopment

Purchasing an asset for the purpose of changing its function or reconstruction involves assessing not only the current state, but also the post-transformation potential: city planning constraints, technical capabilities, market demand for a new product and the project economy.

Finding a Strategic Buyer

For a number of objects, the highest price is ready to pay not a financial investor, but a strategist - a company for which the asset has operational value. Identifying and engaging such a buyer requires separate work and an understanding of the industry context.

Attracting an investor in the project

The owner or developer may not be looking for a buyer, but a co-investor - a partner who is ready to enter the project on certain conditions. In this case, the task of the adviser is to structure the proposal, prepare a financial model and organize negotiations with potential partners.

Preparation of the object for sale

Often, an asset requires pre-sales work: settling legal issues, improving the rental profile, technical audit or adjusting management reporting. Proper preparation allows you to enter the market with a stronger position and a reasonable price.
