    • Exit Strategies
      redev-exit-strategy

      ReDev’s goal is to maximize returns and to communicate with investors to ensure goals and objectives are aligned to guide an exit strategy. A tax efficient strategy is crucial in achieving our goal, hence, we have formulated a two stage exit process.

      redev-refinance

      First, ReDev refinance the property at a higher valuation than original purchase price - excess funds are distributed back to investors in a tax efficient way. This allows investors to realize a substantial cash distribution from equity built up over the years whilst still maintaining their ownership claim to the income and cash flows from the property.

      redev-profit-return

      Finally, after ReDev have completed all value-add initiatives, the property is then sold - typically for a significant profit.

    • Why Canada?
