How We Think About Debt Before We Buy

At BETTER, we don’t think about financing after we find a deal. We think about debt before we even make the offer. Because the structure of a loan can directly impact risk, timelines, flexibility, investor returns, and ultimately whether a project succeeds or struggles.In this episode, we discuss:🔷 Our goals when structuring debt🔷 What we evaluate before selecting debt on a project before we even make the offer🔷 How interest rates, timelines, and flexibility impact risk🔷 How we model debt differently across BTR and BTS projects🔷 How strategic debt can improve returns for our equity partners🔷 And how the wrong financing structure can create pressure on an otherwise strong deal Whether you’re an investor, operator, or simply curious how experienced developers think through financing decisions, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how BETTER approaches debt across projects here in the Triangle.Because the right debt doesn’t just finance the deal, it shapes the outcome.________________________________________________________________________BETTER is a real estate investment company that offers passive investors access to curated development opportunities without the stress of daily management.Our projects focus on the missing middle: right-sized, attainable homes in high-demand areas that offer the livability buyers want and the performance investors expect.Our signature Pocket Neighborhoods are thoughtfully planned communities that deliver precision, scale, and value.
