As the majority equity partner on each project, we do not syndicate equity broadly. When we do engage equity or debt partners, we prioritize those who share our standards for accountability and execution.
We seek lenders and partners who understand the complexities of value-add investing and share our commitment to operational excellence and disciplined risk management. Strategic alignment is essential, and we prioritize working with those who recognize the unique dynamics of these projects.
Greenlite works primarily with debt partners who are experienced in financing heavy value-add multifamily projects. These lenders understand the challenges and rewards of construction-heavy repositioning and are capable of working collaboratively through execution complexities.
We emphasize:
Debt structures that support capital-intensive renovations.
Flexibility in the event of operational delays or unforeseen construction hurdles.
Transparency and regular reporting to maintain trust throughout the investment lifecycle.
These relationships ensure financial stability and execution flexibility — two critical pillars of successful value-add investing.
While we fund the majority of our acquisitions with internal capital, we selectively work with equity partners who are aligned with our long-term strategy. These partners value owner-operator discipline, appreciate the level of active involvement Greenlite brings to each project, and share our view on risk-adjusted returns.
Our approach is not to chase market-driven returns, but to generate value through control and execution. This resonates with sophisticated equity partners who understand that strong fundamentals drive strong outcomes.
Greenlite tracks performance at both the equity and debt levels. We maintain internal targets for:
Equity Metrics: IRR, equity multiple, and total return—ensuring investments justify the execution effort and risk profile.
Debt Metrics: DSCR and Debt Yield—monitored to maintain compliance and avoid capital structure stress.
These metrics are reported monthly to our internal team and to capital partners. This level of transparency reinforces our reputation as a reliable and disciplined operator—and helps preserve long-standing capital relationships.
By maintaining high standards and strong alignment with our capital partners, we create the conditions for consistent, repeatable success. These relationships are not transactional—they’re built to support long-term performance and shared accountability.
Greenlite focuses on heavy value-add investments where strategic improvements drive strong, risk-adjusted returns, rather than pursuing a buy and hold strategy that leaves returns solely dependent on the fluctuations of the market. Our approach transforms underperforming assets into higher quality properties, and makes projecting results more consistent.
