40 FAQs About How I Buy, Why It Works, and Why Deals Close

Written by Jai Thompson


I manage a private equity platform deploying 13–18M per quarter across multiple real estate asset classes.

Our model is asset-based, escrow-directed, and execution-driven, allowing us to close in 23 days or less with certainty and clean title flow.

We acquire and operate across:

  • Luxury estates

  • Single-family residential portfolios

  • Multifamily communities

  • Hospitality and hotels

  • Mixed-use properties

  • RV parks and mobile home communities

  • Golf resorts and destination assets

  • Specialized housing and income portfolios

Capital is structured.
Operators are paid.
Reserves are built in.
All disbursements are controlled through escrow.

We deploy with discipline, transparency, and speed—while tithing back to the communities we serve.

This FAQ exists to answer the most important questions upfront—so deals move forward without friction.


🔹 GENERAL BUYER QUESTIONS (RESIDENTIAL + COMMERCIAL)

1. Are you a real buyer or a wholesaler?
I am a direct private equity buyer. I deploy capital and close. I do not shop contracts.

2. Do you use partners or LPs?
No. Capital is internally controlled and immediately deployable.

3. How fast can you close?
≤23 days once pricing, access, and financials are aligned.

4. What asset types do you buy?
Residential, commercial, hospitality, and specialty income assets nationwide.

5. Do you buy occupied properties?
Yes, stabilized and transitional assets.


🔹 PRICING & STRUCTURE QUESTIONS

6. Why don’t you offer retail pricing?
I price to income, risk, and execution certainty—not optimism.

7. Why don’t you ask sellers for carrybacks or terms?
Because I do not need them. Writing the check closes faster and cleaner.

8. Do you do subject-to or lease options?
No. Those structures increase risk for sellers and title.

9. Why might the recorded price differ from total economics?
Because value is allocated through escrow, not all recorded on the deed.

10. Is that legal and disclosed?
Yes. Fully documented, escrow-controlled, and standard in structured deals.


🔹 DUE DILIGENCE & ACCESS

11. Why don’t you tour properties before contract?
Travel happens after alignment. Pre-contract tours waste time and capital.

12. When do inspections happen?
Immediately after contract, with cooperative access.

13. What happens if DD reveals issues?
We address them quickly or exit cleanly.

14. Do you retrade?
Only if material information was misrepresented.

15. Who pays for inspections?
Buyer-paid unless otherwise agreed.


🔹 PROOF OF FUNDS / CAPITAL

16. Why don’t you send Proof of Funds upfront?
Because capital is allocated after asset vetting, not before.

17. What do you provide instead?
Proof of Capital and execution history.

18. When are funds deposited?
After underwriting clears and escrow opens.

19. Is your capital real?
Yes. It deploys every quarter across multiple asset classes.

20. What happens if the deal doesn’t meet criteria?
Capital is not deployed. Zero chance of purchase.


🔹 ESCROW & TITLE

21. Why escrow-directed disbursement?
It removes confusion, disputes, and post-close risk.

22. Are there side payments?
No. If it’s not in escrow, it doesn’t exist.

23. Who controls the funds?
Escrow—via signed instructions.

24. Does cash-in equal cash-out?
Always.

25. Why do title companies like your deals?
Because everything is documented upfront and closes clean.


🔹 COMMISSIONS & FEES

26. How do brokers get paid?
Through seller-side escrow at recording.

27. Are commissions guaranteed?
They are documented and escrow-controlled.

28. Any performance clauses?
No.

29. How do finders get paid?
Finder fees are agreed upfront and paid through escrow.

30. Do wholesalers have to chase you?
No. Payment is automatic at close.


🔹 LENDER & RISK QUESTIONS

31. Why high DSCR?
It protects cash flow and lender safety.

32. Why high in-place yield?
Because yield today matters more than projections.

33. Why low leverage?
Lower leverage reduces default risk through cycles.

34. Do lenders support this model?
Yes. Predictability beats speculation.

35. What happens in market downturns?
Defensive capital absorbs volatility.


🔹 PROCESS & FIT

36. What makes a deal move fastest?
Real numbers, realistic pricing, clear access, honest timelines.

37. What deals won’t you pursue?
Thin cash flow, overleveraged, hope-based pricing.

38. Do you walk away quickly?
Yes—when alignment is not there.

39. Why do agents bring you repeat deals?
Because I close how I say I will.

40. What is your ultimate goal?
Clean closings, preserved relationships, long-term stewardship.
