Q&A

Q: Who should invest in a Butters Real Estate Fund?
A: The Butters Real Estate Fund is a worthwhile option for investors who are interested in real estate and who want to diversify their portfolio or retirement plan, but who don’t have the experience or resources available to purchase a specific property themselves.

Q: How does a Butters Real Estate Fund differ from a REIT?
A: When you invest in a REIT, you are purchasing a share of a portfolio of properties. Each Butters Real Estate Fund focuses on an individual, high-quality property. They are an ideal vehicle for investors who are attracted to real estate because it is a tangible asset.

Q: What kind of property does Butters target for investment?
A: We target office, industrial, and retail properties. We have concentrated on these types of properties in our construction and development business for more then 20 years and have extensive experience in leasing and managing them.

Q: Where are these properties located?
A: Initially, Butters will concentrate on properties in Florida and in the Southeast. We are familiar with these markets, and we understand the demand factors that drive each local municipality.

Q: What do you look for in a particular property?
A: We seek out properties in high-traffic, high-growth locations, with credit worthy tenants, and that are available below replacement cost.

Q: Once you have identified an interesting property, how do you determine if it’s a good fit for a Butters Real Estate Fund?
A: We undertake a meticulous examination of the property from a variety of perspectives. We conduct a detailed structural inspection, compile local market and demographic information, commission an environmental report, check the occupancy history and the creditworthiness of the tenants, and complete a detailed financial analysis.

Q: What sorts of yields are possible with a Butters Real Estate Fund?
A: We are targeting annual cash flow yields of between 8 to 10 percent and overall yields of 15-20%, which includes quarterly dividends and capital appreciation. Our goal is to generate strong cash flow and to hold our investments for between five and 15 years.

Q: What sort of information can a potential investor in a Butters Real Estate Fund expect to see?
A: Our goal is to be as transparent as possible and share with investors the information we’ve accumulated as well as the results of our analysis. At the same time, we encourage all our potential investors to review our findings with their financial advisors – and if possible visit the property themselves prior to investing in it.

Q: How can I monitor my investment?
A: As an investor in a Butters Real Estate Fund, you will receive a quarterly financial statement about your investment. All operations will be conducted according to the strictest financial standards, and all records will be reviewed by one of the largest and most respected accounting firms in the United States.
