10. Why Invest in Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico offers a unique real estate investment opportunity supported by three active and verifiable sources of housing demand.

1. Traditional Homebuyers – Structural Housing Deficit

This segment consists of buyers purchasing homes through traditional or private mortgage financing. Demand is driven by the structural housing shortage Puerto Rico has experienced since the 2008 financial and real estate crisis.

According to the Puerto Rico Builders Association:

At the beginning of the 21st century, approximately 12,000 new homes were being built annually in Puerto Rico. Following the economic crisis, by 2010, new housing construction had declined to approximately 4,000 homes per year, and as recently as 2024, fewer than 700 newly built homes were completed.

2. Hurricane María Beneficiaries – R3 Program – CDBG-DR

There are currently 3,963 eligible relocation voucher applications, representing a significant source of immediate and verifiable housing demand.

12. How Strong Is Our Portfolio? What Support Does It Provide?

Puerto Rico Real Estate Fund LLC projects the development of a real estate portfolio with estimated sales exceeding USD $103 million, in addition to an estimated USD $7 million to USD $14 million in projected value through the monetization of Opportunity Zone tax credits. 

The projects are backed by tangible and identifiable real estate assets, including land and properties directly associated with the developments. Additionally, certain upcoming projects are expected to be developed under Puerto Rico’s Opportunity Zones Program, providing tax incentives that may strengthen the financial viability and stability of the developments.

13. What is Preferential Return?

The Preferred Return structure, is a mechanism that grants investors priority in the distribution of returns over the managing partners of the Company.

This means that, whenever distributable profits are available, investors are entitled to receive their preferred return before managers participate in profit distributions.

Additionally, if during a given period the preferred return cannot be fully distributed, the unpaid portion will accumulate for future periods as a “Preferred Accumulated Return,”allowing investors to benefit from compounding returns.

14. Are Returns Cumulative and Compounded?

Yes. The preferred return is cumulative and compounded

This means that if, during a given period, the Company is unable to distribute all or part of the preferred return, or if the investor elects not to withdraw the returns, the unpaid amount will accumulate into the following investment cycle.

Because the structure is compounded, all accumulated returns (whether due to non-payment or by investor election) are added to the principal balance, and future returns are calculated based on the increased amount. This allows investors to generate returns on previously accumulated returns.

15. What Is the Minimum Holding Period? Can I Exit Earlier?

The minimum holding period for investments is 24-Month.

At this time, the investment structure does not contemplate early withdrawal mechanisms prior to the expiration of the established investment term.

16. Is the Certificate of Participation an Enforceable Debt Instrument?

No. The Certificate of Membership Interest does not constitute a promissory note or debt instrument. It is a document evidencing the investor’s equity ownership interest in Puerto Rico Real Estate Fund LLC.

17. What Happens If the Company Cannot Fully Distribute the Preferred Return?

If, during a given period, the Company is unable to distribute all or part of the Preferred Return, the unpaid amount will accumulate as a “Preferred Accumulated Return,”.

Such accumulated amounts must be paid with priority in future distribution cycles. Additionally, the managing partners may not participate in profit distributions until all pending and accumulated preferred returns owed to investors have been satisfied.

This structure is intended to preserve the economic priority of investors within the Company’s distribution framework.

18. Do investors have to pay taxes on their earnings in Puerto Rico?

Distributions generated from projects developed under Puerto Rico’s Opportunity Zones Program, may qualify for exemption from Puerto Rico income taxes, pursuant to the applicable provisions of Puerto Rico Act 60.

This exemption applies solely to taxation within Puerto Rico and does not affect tax obligations in other jurisdictions.
