Exciting News from Team Eephus!

Our team has been very busy with our latest offering, the Village Apartments—a 252-unit apartment complex in Forest Lake, Minnesota. We are set to close this investment next month. If you are an accredited investor and would like the opportunity to be part of this offering, please schedule a call with us. We would love to discuss how you can get involved.

Lately, we’ve received many questions from our clients about how they can invest in our projects using their retirement accounts. One of the best ways to do this is through a Self-Directed IRA. What is a Self-Directed IRA?

A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) is a retirement account that offers greater flexibility in choosing your investments. Unlike traditional IRAs, which are typically limited to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, an SDIRA allows you to diversify into alternative assets such as real estate, precious metals, private equity, and more. This added control opens up unique opportunities to potentially boost your retirement savings. With a Self-Directed IRA or Self-Directed 401(k) retirement plan, you can break free from limited investment options and pursue a truly diversified path to wealth building.

Why Consider Multi-Family Real Estate Syndications Through an SDIRA?

  • Tax Benefits: By using an SDIRA, you can enjoy the same tax advantages as traditional IRAs. This means your investment can grow tax-deferred (in a traditional IRA) or even tax-free (in a Roth IRA), allowing you to keep more of your earnings.

  • Diversification: Adding real estate to your retirement portfolio can provide diversification beyond the typical stocks and bonds, helping to balance risk, especially in volatile markets.

  • Potential for High Returns: Multi-family real estate has historically offered strong returns, particularly in syndications where professional sponsors use their expertise to maximize profits.

How to Get Started:

  1. Open an SDIRA: The first step is to set up a Self-Directed IRA with a qualified custodian. Ensure the custodian allows for real estate investments.

  2. Direct Your SDIRA Custodian: Once you’ve selected a syndication, you’ll instruct your SDIRA custodian to invest in the deal on your behalf. All income and expenses related to the investment must flow through the IRA.

Many of our clients choose to invest with us using a Self-Directed account. If you have any questions about these types of accounts, or if you need recommendations for custodians, please feel free to reach out. We’re more than happy to help.

Investing in multi-family real estate syndications through an SDIRA can be a powerful tool in your retirement planning strategy. By diversifying your investments and taking advantage of the tax benefits, you can work toward achieving a more secure financial future. Multifamily Absorption Posts Strongest Quarter Since 2000

Vacancy has reached its lowest point since mid-2021 due to the demand for multifamily units and the absorption of new construction, according to Cushman & Wakefields latest research reports. In the second quarter of 2024, 138,000 units were absorbed and vacancies were pushed down by 10 basis points.

The stock market's been a bit of a rollercoaster, with the S&P 500 up 18.8% this year thanks to strong earnings and cooler-than-expected inflation. But not everything's sunny—sectors like FMCG, Pharma, and IT took a hit because investors were cashing in on their gains. The Fed and Bank of England are expected to keep interest rates low, which has been keeping investors optimistic for now. Bond Market

Over in the bond market, things are pretty steady. Corporate bond yields have ticked up a bit as the economy grows, and municipal bonds are seeing more action as investors hunt for tax-efficient options. With inflation in check and the economy not overheating, this calm is likely to stick around for a bit.

Real Estate Update


Now, let's talk about real estate. Home prices are still climbing, though not as fast as last year. Low inventory and solid buyer interest are keeping the market hot, but rising mortgage rates might cool things off soon. On the rental side, rents have nudged up slightly year-over-year, showing steady demand for rental properties. All in all, we’re looking at a market that’s strong but with potential headwinds on the horizon.


We're committed to navigating these dynamics and delivering value through strategic investments. Your partnership fuels our mission to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the multi-family real estate sector. As part of this commitment, we're excited to share that The Village Apartments is currently 90% subscribed, with a few remaining opportunities still available. We encourage you not to miss out on this chance to be part of this promising investment.


Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback. Together, we're shaping the future of Eephus Capital.
