How are properties financed?
When investing in a BRXS Properties property, investors directly finance the property acquisition through BRXS Properties notes. The total investment calculation includes:
Total investment = Property Price + Closing costs + Fees + Cash reserves + Renovation - Mortgage
These components represent:
- Property Price: The cost of purchasing the real estate
- Closing costs: Legal fees and taxes associated with the property transfer
- Fees: BRXS offering fee for sourcing and managing the property
- Cash reserves: Funds set aside for future maintenance and unexpected expenses
- Renovation: Any immediate improvements needed to optimize the property
- Mortgage: Any traditional bank financing used (subtracted from the total)
The total investment amount is then divided by the note value (typically €100) to determine the number of BRXS notes issued for that property. By purchasing these notes, investors receive rights to:
- Interest payments calculated from the net rental income
- A share of any appreciation in the property’s value upon sale
The mortgage component varies across properties, typically ranging between 50-70% of the property value when used. These are often interest-only mortgages. It’s worth noting that more recent properties in the BRXS portfolio tend to have no mortgage component.
