You may qualify as an accredited investor if you meet at least one of the following standards: For Individuals: You have an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the last two years, and you reasonably expect to maintain the same income level in the current year; or You have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either alone or jointly with a spouse or spousal equivalent, excluding the value of your primary residence; or You hold certain professional certifications or designations (such as a Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 license) recognized by the SEC.

This is required to comply with SEC regulations. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, feel free to contact us and we’ll help guide you through the verification process.
  • Can I invest through my IRA?
    Yes, you can invest through a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA). Gold Capital Equity accepts investments from self-directed individual retirement accounts that are administered by qualified custodians. A Self-Directed IRA allows you to diversify your retirement portfolio by investing in alternative assets, including private commercial real estate. However, it's important to note: Your SDIRA must be held by a custodian that allows real estate investments. The IRA—not you personally—will own the investment. All income and returns must flow back into the IRA, and all investment-related expenses must be paid from the IRA. You must avoid prohibited transactions (e.g., personally guaranteeing loans or using the property for personal benefit). We work closely with several reputable custodians and can guide you through the process. If you're new to SDIRAs, we’re happy to connect you with a custodian that supports real estate investments. Need help getting started with your IRA investment? Contact us and we’ll assist you every step of the way. Email us at invest@goldcapitalequity.com

Individual Accounts Invest in your personal name as an accredited investor. 2. Joint Accounts Joint accounts can be established with a spouse or spousal equivalent and must meet joint accreditation requirements. 3. Trust Accounts Revocable or irrevocable trusts may invest, provided the trust or its beneficiaries meet SEC accreditation standards. Additional documentation may be required. 4.

You’ll need to work with a qualified custodian who can facilitate real estate investments through an IRA. 6.

  • What type of tax documents will i receive?
    Investors in Gold Capital Equity offerings will typically receive an IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) for each investment entity in which they hold an interest. The K-1 reports your share of the partnership’s income, losses, deductions, and credits, and is used to prepare your annual tax return. Key things to know: K-1s are issued annually, usually by March 31 following the end of the tax year. If you invest through multiple offerings, you may receive multiple K-1s—one for each investment. If you invest through an entity or IRA, the K-1 will be issued to that entity or custodian, not to you personally. It’s important to provide your tax advisor with these documents when preparing your returns. We provide secure digital access to your K-1s through our investor portal, and we will notify you as soon as they are available. If you participate in a non accredited investment structures that are not partnerships, such as debt investments or note-based offerings, you may receive a Form 1099 instead of (or in addition to) a K-1. This could include: Form 1099-INT – Reports interest income Form 1099-DIV – Reports dividends or distributions from a corporate entity Form 1099-MISC – May report other types of income, such as fees 1099s are generally issued by January 31 following the tax year and will also be provided via the investor portal. Note: Tax treatment may vary depending on your individual circumstances. We recommend consulting your CPA or tax professional for personalized guidance.
  • What type of investment returns should I expect?
    At Gold Capital Equity, our goal is to deliver risk-adjusted returns through carefully selected, institutional-grade commercial real estate investments. While returns can vary by asset class, strategy, and market conditions, our investment offerings typically aim to generate returns in the following range: Annual Cash Flow (Distributions): 5% – 8% average annual yield, depending on the asset's performance and stage (stabilized vs. value-add). Total Net IRR (Internal Rate of Return): 12% – 18% targeted over the life of the investment, which typically spans up to 10 years. Equity Multiple: 1.6x – 2.0x over the full investment period. Returns may include a combination of: Quarterly cash distributions from operating income Appreciation upon refinancing or sale of the asset Tax advantages, such as depreciation and cost segregation, passed through to investors (reflected on your K-1) Please note that all projected returns are targets only and not guaranteed. Each investment carries inherent risks, which are disclosed in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). Performance depends on a variety of factors, including market conditions, property management execution, and broader economic trends. We are committed to transparency and provide detailed underwriting, pro forma models, and ongoing performance reports through our secure investor portal. Have questions about a specific opportunity's return profile? Contact us and we’ll be happy to walk you through the projections and risk factors.
  • How long is the term of the vehicles?
    At Gold Capital Equity, our investment vehicles are structured for long-term growth, with a typical hold period of up to 10 years. This extended duration allows us to: Maximize value through strategic asset management Benefit from long-term market appreciation Generate consistent income through stabilized cash flow Optimize timing for refinancing or sale based on market conditions While each offering may vary slightly, investors should expect to commit capital for the full term of the investment. Early liquidity is not guaranteed, and these opportunities are intended for investors who can remain invested over an extended period. The specific projected term and exit strategy for each investment will be outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and subscription documents. Note: Although we target a 10-year hold, actual outcomes may be shorter or longer based on asset performance and market dynamics.
  • How often will I receive a distribution?
    Distribution frequency varies depending on the specific investment vehicle and its operating cash flow. Typically, investors in Gold Capital Equity offerings can expect to receive distributions on a quarterly basis. Distributions are generally made from the net rental income generated by the properties after expenses, debt service, and reserves. Some offerings may have different schedules—such as semi-annual or annual distributions—depending on the asset type and business plan. All details regarding the timing and frequency of distributions will be clearly outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and subscription documents for each offering. Please note that distributions are subject to available cash flow and property performance, and there may be periods when distributions are reduced or suspended to support asset growth or capital improvements. If you have questions about distributions for a specific investment, please reach out to our investor relations team for clarification.
  • What type of fees do you charge?
    Gold Capital Equity charges industry-standard fees that cover acquisition, management, and disposition of assets. These fees are fully disclosed in the offering documents and typically include: 1. Acquisition Fees A one-time fee charged at closing to cover property sourcing, underwriting, and transaction costs, generally ranging from 1% to 3% of the purchase price. 2. Asset Management Fee / Promote Instead of a traditional fixed annual management fee, we charge a performance-based management fee equal to 20% of the profits (carried interest) once investors achieve a preferred return. This structure aligns our incentives with yours by rewarding us only when the investment performs well. 3. Disposition Fees A fee applied upon sale of the property to cover marketing, brokerage, and closing expenses, typically around 1% of the sale price. 4. Other Fees Additional fees, such as financing or property management fees paid to third parties, may apply and will be disclosed in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). Transparency is a priority: all fees and their calculations are clearly outlined in the investment documents. Our 20% promote structure ensures we only earn significant compensation when delivering strong returns to our investors. If you want a detailed fee breakdown for a specific offering, please contact us directly.
  • Is there risk involved?
    Yes, investing in commercial real estate through Gold Capital Equity involves risks, as with any investment. While we carefully select institutional-grade properties and conduct thorough due diligence, risks can include: Market Risk: Changes in the real estate market or economy can impact property values and cash flow. Liquidity Risk: These investments are generally illiquid, meaning your capital may be tied up for several years without a guaranteed exit date. Operational Risk: Property management challenges, vacancies, or unexpected expenses can affect performance. Financing Risk: Changes in interest rates or loan terms may impact returns. Regulatory Risk: Changes in laws or tax codes could affect investment outcomes. All risks, along with potential rewards, are detailed in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). We encourage prospective investors to review these carefully and consult with financial and legal advisors before investing. Our team is committed to transparency, risk management, and clear communication to help you make informed investment decisions. If you have specific concerns or want to discuss risk factors in more detail, please reach out to us directly.
