What time frame does Lionaire use for its investments?
The hold period for Lionaire’s investments varies based on our analysis of when a property will reach its maximum financial value. While the majority of our investments are held for 3-5 years, we are willing to hold a property for ten or more years if the financial returns merit a longer time horizon. In all cases, we prefer to provide our investors with an early return of original equity through refinancing. Rather than sell a property and create a taxable event, refinancing a property allows us to continue to hold an asset while returning our investors’ equity capital in a tax-efficient manner. Because many institutional equity firms invest over shorter time frames, Lionaire is often able to obtain more favorable returns for our investors utilizing this more patient investment approach.
