Generally, if the property performs according to projections, investors get paid via ongoing cash flow and the equity gain at the time of sale.

Monthly or quarterly distributions are released to investors based on their pro rata ownership share of the company. Such distributions also include the preferred return paid to investors based on the principal amount of their investment. Preferred returns are not guaranteed but are currently common in the market and if not paid in full during the subject period, generally accrue and are paid at refinance or sale.

Return of principal and pro rata share of equity gain is returned at the time of sale. It is also possible for the majority of principal to be returned prior to sale via refinance of the property should operational performance and market conditions warrant that.
