Finance

Co-Operative Syndication Finance Block uses property as the vehicle of investment. The investment is represented by a share holding specifically identifiable with the property concerned, protected by exclusive use, occupation and resilation agreements. This makes the investment block a secure and simple asset for both individual, corporate and bank acquisition. Previously Finance Block has enabled investors to achieve up to 100% on invested capital usually within a relatively short period of time.

Co-Operative Syndication Finance Block enables small or large investors to participate in real estate from the planning stage as ”restricted” co-developers. This maximizes returns and minimizes risk due to the stringent control of investor funds embodied in the Finance Block system.

Take note, this system in no way resembles Time Share! SEACOR as successful developers are cognisant of the structural costs and the fundamentals of property development and are therefore in a very strong position to negotiate the seller’s margin on behalf of our investors. We have direct access to repossessed properties, properties under financial duress and other properties that we simply recognise as superb investments. Taking into consideration our experience: Once our client has identified their choice of property we will directly negotiate the best possible price from the seller or the seller’s agent and assist with all the necessary legal and other requirements, guiding the client through to completion of their purchase. We base our fees on a percentage of the amount we negotiate as a saving from the original sellers listed price at the time it was advertised. Our fees never exceed 20% of this saving. (Our consultancy fee is not commission based).Our experience has shown that many buyers have neither the time nor the inclination to strenuously fight the price. We have the local market awareness and experience to vet the integrity of the property and aggressively negotiate the appropriate offer for our investor. SEACOR has experience in setting up suspended sale agreements. This in effect suspends the date of sale to suite the purchaser and often such suspended sales are beneficial to the vendor/seller. With respect to suspended sale the purchase agreement takes place in principal immediately but, terms of payment are balanced between capital appreciation and interest payments. (More information on consultation).

(This is not suspensive sale!) This is not suspended sale in essence, but rather an agreement of loan inception date between the lender and the purchaser, as to when the mortgage payments will begin. Prior to this, however, the full documentation will have to be completed, deposits and taxes paid, (usually) paid in full, whereupon an inception date for first instalment is also agreed between lender and borrower. SEACOR can arrange this moratorium in some instances, usually only with bank properties but not always so.

This has huge investment potential. Not only do you pay nothing for up to three years but you can sell the property within this 3 year period without paying a penny!
Bear in mind, a fair margin of these properties to which the three year no payment moratorium applies are brand spanking new, never been lived in, and are becoming more and more popular among SEACOR investors. SEACOR could in certain circumstances be able to secure purchasers a significant capital reduction in the cost price of a property, subject to various constraints, by utilising confidential but legal financial systems where such systems are in place, or can be legally put in place, at no risk to the SEACOR client. In some instances sellers will use the purchasers offer to push up their price to achieve a higher offer from another interested buyer (a type of freelance auction). In most cases SEACOR can create systems to block this from happening (more info on consultation). SEACOR’s consultations, while conducted with the utmost care, due diligence, confidentiality and in consultation with certified professionals, cannot be infallible, as laws and circumstances change on a daily basis, due to circumstances beyond our control.This is expressed and implied in good faith.
