The New Model of Real Estate Investment
Financial participation with MGC provides a sound vehicle for
private individuals or institutions seeking high returns with minimal risk to
capital.
Land, vision and adding value - these are the defining characteristics of MGC
and its founder, Ron McRae. To minimize capital risk and still provide high returns for
financial participants, Ron has utilized his varied experience to develop a special niche at the very foundation of the real estate industry
- entitlement of raw land for residential and commercial use.
MGC is exclusively focused on a strategy of purchasing undeveloped land at below market value in
the path of growth in emerging markets. By then applying its vision to
process zoning, mapping and other entitlements, MGC undertakes and removes the
financial, timing and other risks associated with those entitlements, resulting
in properties attractive to homebuilders and commercial developers only willing
to buy development ready properties.
MGC is sensitive to the impact of cycles on real estate, both positive and negative,
by making use of non-recourse debt on favorable terms and aligning with sophisticated
and capable financial participants. That methodology, coupled with having bought
below market value and with sufficient funds to cover basic costs, positions MGC
ventures to retain properties until recovery occurs and then achieve a profit
upon resale.
In recent years, MGC has evolved from dealing with individual
financial participants to partnering with institutional participants, enabling
focus to be on two primary funding strategies: the single property model with an
individual property funded by one or more individual participants, and the asset
pool model with a group of properties funded by an institutional participant.
The success of the MGC program can be largely attributed to the outstanding team Ron McRae has assembled,
and their ability to focus and apply their extensive experience to a specific
type of real estate investment able to generate attractive returns at acceptable
risk.
