What We Do

Real Estate Investor & Fund Support Services

Investing in commercial real estate can be a great way to diversify your investment portfolio, hedge against inflation, generate income, and preserve capital. If you invest in real estate, or want to start investing in real estate, RCA can help you get the best results from your real estate portfolio — and mitigate risk along the way.

Our unbiased real estate investment consultants are experts at navigating the nuanced decisions you face as you develop a strategy and manage your portfolio, from buying and selling existing real estate assets to planning a new development. We deliver the insights and experience needed to help private and institutional clients preserve, protect, and grow their real estate investments.

Institutional Quality Real Estate Financial Modeling

RCA is proud to have worked with sophisticated investors and businesses globally including investment banks, high-net-worth individuals, private equity firms, investment managers, and other small businesses.

Whether using Excel®, Argus®, or other custom software for advanced real estate modeling, we can help you accurately model cash flows and returns at the property, portfolio, fund, investor, or corporate level. We have extensive experience in every primary asset type as well as mixed-use projects, infrastructure investments, long-term land leases, and oil and gas projects. In addition, we also handle specialized areas of advanced real estate financial modeling such as complex debt models, buy/lease decision models, and more.

Deal Evaluation & Underwriting

As more investors increasingly discover the advantages of investing in commercial real estate, they’re also noticing the contrast between CRE investments and other financial products. Many people have purchased shares in a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which is similar to buying shares in the stock and bond market; however, a direct real estate investment is quite different and requires a different level of analysis. The team at RCA takes a multi-faceted, 360-degree approach to analyzing a commercial real estate deal to bring clarity to our clients’ decisions.

Portfolio & Asset Management

Ultimately, every successful real estate endeavor must achieve maximum value. With a clear focus on helping our clients achieve this, we provide comprehensive asset management services. From risk management, operational and capital budgeting to vendor oversight and reporting, we work with each client to protect and enhance the value of every asset.

Our team provides a broad array of asset management services, generating attractive risk-adjusted returns in alignment with your portfolio and investment objectives. After determining our client’s short and long-term goals for each investment, we work diligently to find opportunities for value maximization and expense control while foreseeing and responding to potential threats to the health of the asset.

Syndication Support & Advisory

Real estate syndication is an effective way for investors to pool their financial and intellectual resources to invest in properties and projects much bigger than they could afford or manage on their own. Projects are funded by investors by allocating a percentage ownership based on capital contributed. Properties are acquired when fully funded, and also using leveraged financing when favorable or required. Investors receive distributions based on net income and typically a preferred return, while sponsors usually receive a promote after investors have achieved an acceptable rate of return. Real estate syndication can be complex, but also offers an excellent way to reap a high return on a property by pooling resources. In order to maximize your chances of success, it’s absolutely critical that you are exceptionally organized and have the right professionals on your side.

Real Estate Pitch Decks & Offering Memorandums

We offer our clients fully customized institutional quality pitch decks and offering memorandum preparation services. We understand the unique needs of the real estate industry and create custom pitch decks that effectively communicate your vision and financial projections. In conjunction with our comprehensive consulting services, we work with you to craft a compelling narrative in an easy-to-understand manner, using eye-catching visuals and graphics.

1031 Tax Deferred / Like Kind Exchange Advisory

Real estate has been, and still is, a powerful wealth accumulation vehicle. From tax-deferred income, to tax-deferred growth, the tax advantages of property ownership are a primary reason many choose to invest in the asset class.

The IRS allows investors to defer paying certain taxes on real estate if one utilizes the tax code under Section 1031 of the IRS Internal Revenue Code. Real estate investors and agents commonly use the term 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange or 1031 Exchange. A 1031 enables investors to defer capital gains and depreciation recapture by reinvesting proceeds from a sale of investment property into “like-kind” property. Understanding the do’s and don’ts of this section of the tax code is vital to the return on your real estate investments.

RCA works with tax and legal advisors, as well as qualified intermediaries, to develop a strategic plan to maximize the benefits of a client’s 1031 exchange. We have extensive experience structuring transactions involving replacement properties of traditional triple net, multi-tenant retail, industrial, office, and shopping center investments on a national scale.
