How We Invest
Investment Strategy
Disciplined underwriting. Focused markets. Aligned incentives.
Market Context
The Opportunity
Real estate development requires significant equity capital — typically 30–40% of total project cost. JIDI fills this critical gap.
Equity Requirements
Lenders typically require 30–40% in equity funding to finance real estate projects. This funding can range from seven to eight figures.
Traditional Fundraising
Real estate companies raise equity internally, from private investors, or from large-scale Institutional Private Equity (PE) firms.
Challenge #1
Raising internally depletes resources, requires a hands-on approach with private investors, and limits the number of projects to acquire.
Challenge #2
Raising funds through PE firms requires significant time and approvals while meeting parameters. PE firms also have higher minimums (e.g., $10M+).
