​Investing Alongside TJB Homes

TJB Homes provides investors the opportunity to participate in ground-up residential and mixed-use development projects through structured equity positions. Our investment platform is designed for those who want exposure to real estate development without day-to-day involvement, while maintaining transparency, alignment, and disciplined execution.

 

We focus on projects where value is created through planning, entitlement strategy, design, and construction—not speculation. Investors participate directly in the outcomes of each development alongside the sponsor.

 

Why Development Equity (Not Debt)

Unlike fixed-rate lending, equity participation allows investors to benefit from the full value creation cycle of a project.

Our model is built around:

• Defined priority returns to investors

• Meaningful upside participation once performance thresholds are met

• Alignment of incentives, where TJB Homes succeeds only after investors are paid first

This structure is intentionally designed to balance downside protection with attractive return potential.

 

Investment Structure Overview

Each opportunity is offered through a project-specific entity, with investors participating as limited partners.

Key economic terms typically include:

• Preferred return: Targeted at 12% annually, accruing before profit participation

• Upside participation: Investors share proportionally in profits after the preferred return

• Target return range: 12–14%+ annualized, depending on project performance and exit timing

All terms are clearly defined in each project’s operating agreement.

 

Project Selection & Capital Deployment

Capital is deployed on a deal-by-deal basis, allowing investors to evaluate each opportunity independently.

Our focus is on:

• Ground-up residential construction

• Small to mid-scale developments

• Projects with completed approvals and defined exit strategies

Typical investment timelines:

• 12 to 36 months from capital deployment to exit

• Returns realized at refinancing, stabilization, or sale

This structure provides clarity around both capital use and expected duration.

 

Risk Management Through Control & Experience

Development inherently carries risk. Our strategy is to reduce that risk through control, preparation, and conservative underwriting.

TJB Homes mitigates risk by:

• Purchasing only once approvals have been secured

• Maintaining direct oversight of construction and execution

• Using conservative assumptions for pricing, timelines, and costs

• Working with experienced engineers, lenders, brokers, and municipal professionals

​

Transparency & Investor Communication

We believe strong communication is essential to long-term investor relationships.

Investors can expect:

• Regular project updates throughout the development cycle

• Clear reporting tied to milestones and capital events

• Access to documentation, timelines, and financial summaries

Our goal is to ensure investors always understand where a project stands and how capital is performing.

 

Exit Strategy & Distribution Waterfall

Each investment is underwritten with a defined exit strategy prior to launch.

Common exit scenarios include:

• Refinance upon completion or stabilization

• Strategic sale of the completed asset

Distribution priority typically follows this order:

1. Return of capital

2. Accrued preferred return to investors

3. Proportional sharing of remaining profits

This structure ensures investor capital and returns are prioritized before sponsor participation.

 

Who Typically Invests With TJB Homes

Our investment opportunities are best suited for individuals who:

• Want exposure to new construction and development

• Prefer equity participation over fixed returns

• Value conservative underwriting and transparency

• Seek alignment with an experienced, locally focused sponsor

Investors are not expected to manage, oversee, or operate projects—TJB Homes handles execution from start to finish.

 

Our Commitment as a Sponsor

TJB Homes is first and foremost a builder and developer, not a capital aggregator. Every project we pursue is one we would—and do—invest in ourselves.

Our commitment includes:

• Prudent capital allocation

• Honest communication

• Conservative projections

• Long-term investor relationships over short-term wins

We view each investment as the beginning of a partnership, not a one-time transaction.

FAQ

----

Are these investments debt or equity?

All opportunities offered by TJB Homes are equity investments, not loans. Investors participate as limited partners in project-specific entities and share in the economic performance of each development rather than receiving a fixed interest payment.

 

What type of returns should investors expect?

Each investment is structured with a targeted preferred return, generally around 12% annually, which accrues before profit sharing. Depending on project performance and exit timing, total annualized returns may exceed this level. Returns are not guaranteed and vary by project.

 

How and when are distributions paid?

Distributions are governed by each project’s operating agreement. Preferred returns typically accrue during the hold period, with distributions occurring at defined capital events such as refinancing or sale. Interim distributions may occur depending on project cash flow.

 

What is the typical investment term?

Most projects are underwritten with an expected hold period of 12 to 36 months, though actual timelines may vary based on construction schedules, market conditions, and exit execution.

 

How is risk managed?

Real estate development involves risk. TJB Homes mitigates risk through:

• Conservative underwriting assumptions

• Focus on entitled or near-entitlement projects

• Direct oversight of construction and execution

 

Who manages the projects?

All projects are managed directly by TJB Homes, including oversight of design, construction, financing, brokerage, and disposition. Limited partners are passive investors with no operational responsibilities.

 

Who can invest?

Investment opportunities are typically offered to accredited investors under applicable securities exemptions. Eligibility requirements are confirmed prior to providing offering materials.

 

Will I receive tax documents?

Yes. Investors should expect to receive an annual Schedule K-1 for each investment entity. TJB Homes does not provide tax advice; investors should consult their own tax professionals.

 

Is my investment liquid?

No. These investments are illiquid. There is no public market for interests, and investors should be prepared to hold their investment for the full project duration.
