Understanding Expected ROI and Timeframes When Investing with Good IN Development

Investing in real estate with Good IN Development is not only a commitment to generating financial returns—it’s a commitment to fostering sustainable, community-centered development. If you’re exploring partnership opportunities with us, you likely have questions about what kind of returns you can expect and how long your capital will be at work. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of typical return expectations and investment timeframes associated with our projects.

What Does ROI Look Like in Mission-Aligned Real Estate?

Return on Investment (ROI) is a critical factor in evaluating any real estate opportunity. At Good IN Development, our approach balances financial performance with social and community impact. While we strive for competitive returns, our strategy is designed for those who value long-term, stable growth over speculative, high-risk profits.

Typical ROI projections vary based on the project type and stage of development, but our investors generally see:

8–12% average annualized returns across the investment period
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) ranging between 10% and 15% on stabilized assets
Equity multiples of 1.7x to 2.2x over the life of the investment

These returns are competitive within the real estate sector, especially for projects that prioritize affordability, sustainability, and long-term value. Each opportunity comes with a detailed pro forma and investor packet so you can review specific financial projections before committing.

Factors That Influence ROI

Our projected returns are the result of comprehensive underwriting and careful project selection. Several factors play into ROI outcomes, including:

Location: We focus on markets with strong demand drivers and long-term growth trends.
Project Type: Mixed-use developments, affordable housing, and adaptive reuse projects each carry unique return profiles.
Capital Stack: Senior debt, equity, and mezzanine financing all impact how profits are distributed.
Exit Strategy: Sales, refinancing, or long-term hold strategies shape the timing and distribution of returns.

We aim to maximize returns without sacrificing our mission. That means identifying opportunities where community enrichment and investor profitability can co-exist meaningfully.

Typical Investment Timeframes

Investing with Good IN Development is best suited for those with a long-term view. Our projects are structured to provide both interim updates and final payouts within clearly defined timeframes. While each project is different, the majority of our investments follow a lifecycle between 3 and 7 years.

Here’s a general breakdown of the stages:

Year 0–1: Capital Deployment & Construction
Funds are allocated to land acquisition, predevelopment, and construction. This is when your investment is put to work building the asset.
Year 2–3: Stabilization Period
Leasing and occupancy begin. Revenue generation ramps up as the property stabilizes and starts producing cash flow.
Year 4–7: Hold, Refinance, or Sale
Depending on market conditions and project performance, the asset may be held for steady returns, refinanced to unlock equity, or sold to realize gains.

We provide projected timelines during the investment offering process and continuously update investors as milestones are reached or adjusted. Communication is ongoing and detailed, giving you full visibility throughout the life of your investment.

Cash Flow vs. Appreciation Returns

Investor returns come from two main sources: cash flow during the hold period and capital appreciation at exit. While some projects provide quarterly or annual distributions during stabilization, others focus on maximizing total returns at the end of the investment term.

Our team clearly communicates which model applies to each offering, helping you align the opportunity with your income or long-term growth goals.

Tax Considerations and K-1 Reporting

As a partner in one of our development entities, you’ll receive a K-1 statement annually, outlining your share of income, deductions, and credits. Real estate offers several tax advantages, including depreciation and cost segregation benefits, which can reduce your taxable income from the investment.

While we don’t provide direct tax advice, we work closely with our CPA partners to ensure timely, accurate reporting. Many of our investors appreciate the combination of cash flow and tax efficiency that real estate can offer.

Impact ROI: Measuring More Than Dollars

In addition to financial returns, investors with Good IN Development see what we call “Impact ROI.” This refers to the measurable community benefits created through each project, including:

Affordable housing units created or preserved
Community resource access expanded
Minority- and women-owned business participation
Sustainability and energy efficiency benchmarks

These outcomes are not just feel-good metrics—they’re indicators of long-term value creation in the communities we serve. Each project includes an impact framework that we report on alongside financial performance.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe that informed investors are empowered investors. That’s why we provide:

Detailed offering memoranda
Quarterly performance updates
Annual financial summaries
Access to our investor relations team year-round

From the initial discovery call to final project exit, we’re here to answer your questions and provide honest, accurate information every step of the way.
