FAQ

For Borrowers

What is the first step in buying a home?
The absolute first step for your client is to get approved for a mortgage. Without being approved for a mortgage it will be quite difficult, if not impossible, to purchase a new home. If a potential client reaches out to you, have them go through the tenant screening process and then guide them to a reputable mortgage corporation and advisor that you trust.
Should I sell my current property before buying a new one?
A home sale contingency in your offer may spook the seller or delay the closing so that's not an option. It's also important to note that waiting to sell your old home until after you've purchased your new home is less risky in a seller's market.
Should I do a home inspection?
Home inspections can uncover potentially life-threatening problems like mold or faulty wiring that could cause a significant fire. Most potential buyers have a seven-day window after a home inspection to walk away from the purchase. A thorough inspection is a critical step in purchasing a home.
Should I do a final walk-through?
It is important to do a final walk through to make sure that everything in the property is exactly the way you saw it from the very beginning when you did your initial appointment or home inspection.

For Investors

What types of investments does Alpha Capital offer?
At Alpha Capital we provide access to real-estate investment opportunities via various instruments across the capital stack, including Senior Debt, Mezzanine Debt, Convertible Debt, Preferred Equity, and Common Equity.

How do I invest / what is the process?
  • Get in touch with our team to discuss your investment preferences.
  • We’ll provide you with the investment memorandum / disclosure documents.
  • You’ll complete subscription / investment forms, provide KYC / AML documentation.
  • Upon acceptance, funds are transferred, and you receive confirmation of your investment.
  • Regular reports and updates are provided per the terms of the investment.
How do you evaluate sponsors and projects?
  • Track record and experience of sponsor
  • Alignment of interest (sponsor equity at risk)
  • Project feasibility, planning approvals, and construction program
  • Market demand and absorption rates
  • Clear exit strategy (sales or refinance)
What are the risks involved?
All investments carry risk. Key risks with real estate / alternative investments include market risk, property valuation fluctuations, development / construction risk, financing risk, liquidity risk, and borrower / sponsor risk. The further down the capital stack (e.g. common equity) you go, generally the higher the risk (but also the potential return). Conversely, senior debt tends to be more secure (first registered mortgage, etc.).
