In order to qualify to invest you will need to pass a couple of litmus tests.  First, you need to be business owner, CEO, former business owner or investor.  Second, you will need to be an ACCREDITED INVESTOR. What does this mean? In most cases it means you need to be a person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, exceeds $1,000,000 NOT including the net value of your personal residence OR a person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

If you do NOT meet our criteria as an investor you would not qualify as an investor.

There are separate qualifications for ACCREDITED investor for companies, trusts and estates. If this includes you please review the qualifications here: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&SID=8edfd12967d69c024485029d968ee737&r=SECTION&n=17y3.0.1.1.12.0.46.176

It’s Pretty Simple. You first start by joining our investment family.  We are picky on who we allow into our private investment family, but, this is where it starts.  Of course, other than meeting our investment criteria you will have to have a SERIOUS interest in protecting, insulating and growing your wealth using Heartland Multi-Family as a tool do to so - not to mention having an interest in large amounts of income tax savings.  

In order to begin the process of joining simply sign up on our web site.  This will get you entry into our world of what we own and how well our properties do and have done.  The average property owned by our owners is and has been owned over 10 years.  You will get an idea not only how these multi-family properties look but how they perform as well.  

Once you have decided that you beleive you want to invest in and FORMALLY join our investment family as one of our EXCLUSIVE PARTNERS we have an interview to make sure we are a both a good fit for one another.  No one can join our investment family UNTIL this interview is completed.  

If after the interview we both believe we have a good fit we discuss not only how to invest but how much to invest to start getting the benefits of Heartland Multi-Family.  
If you qualify you may come and personally inspect any investment properties or funds that you are considering. We are happy to make the arrangements for a LIVE personal visit.

Yes you can! Heartland Investment Partners makes it easy to invest IRA/401(k) moneys into great investment properties. Though it may sound complex it is quite easy to accomplish.

In our opinion no, however, as a point of reference and a disclaimer for Heartland Investment Partners you need to be aware all investments have risk and there is always a risk of losing some or all of your principal investment and this is the case with Heartland Investment Partners.  We do not guaranty returns or income from our properties nor do past results guaranty future returns and income.

There!  Got the good old disclaimer language out of the way....

That said, there IS a reason why so many entrepreneurs, CEO's, investors and former business owners choose Heartland Investment Partners and it’s due to our transparency, trust and success over the years. Darin Garman’s "Paranoid Banker" approach to multi-family real estate has made happy investment partners for a number of years.  30+ years is a long time! 

ALL INVESTMENT PROPERTIES HERE IN THE HEARTLAND GO THROUGH A THOROUGH DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS BY DARIN GARMAN AND HIS TEAM BEFORE BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO INVESTORS.

First, you can always get specific answers to any of your investment questions from us. Wonder why your is doing so well?  Wonder why the property had a poor quarter? Wonder why the property expenses were higher than normal? Whenever you have questions you can find out answers right away by contacting us. We are committed to transparency.

With that said, along with property property distributions that are scheduled to be paid out quarterly you will also be receiving monthly communications and quarterly reports that will give you a detailed description of what transpired over the last quarter and what we expect for the following quarter. This will keep you fully informed. Also, if you have questions regarding anything in those reports you can contact us. We are happy to explain anything you may not understand or want clarified.

Lastly, we do have updates and a DASHBOARD on our website as well that can be accessed 24 hours a day that is private and password protected. You can contact us, personally, or access information as you feel necessary.

In order to move forward and join our investment family here in the Heartland simply contact us.  We will send you our current catalog of properties owned. 

Investment amounts may vary from time to time, however, you can at least plan For IRA/401(k) investments it is $50,000. For regular investment moneys it is $25,000.

Maximum investment amounts are typically around $3,000,000 - $5,500,000 again depending on the particular investment.

As always if questions pl​ease contact our office.  These amounts may change from time to time so contact us for the updated minimums and maximums.  

 

Every investment is subject to capital calls. Though very rare, a capital call can happen. A capital call is when the investment requires more funds from the founding investors in order to meet any cash flow shortfalls that may happen. In these instances you would be asked to invest additional dollars into the fund or property to meet any shortfalls, however, in most cases you can choose to either invest more capital OR agree to a dilution of your ownership interest in lieu of a capital call. In the event a capital call is necessary all of your alternatives will be reviewed and discussed in order for you to make an informed decision prior to making any commitments.  Since inception we have NEVER HAD TO MAKE A CAPITAL CALL due to operational issues.  

YES! You can choose to reinvest your distributions back into the property or Fund during certain times of the years and on a specific schedule. You can also invest NEW moneys into the properties or fund as well during the year, however, you would NOT be able to reinvest or make a new investment at any time. Any reinvestment or new investment would follow a specific schedule in order to maintain not only transparency with your investment but also to maintain property capital reserves as well.

All investors will be kept up to date on the value of their investment on a quarterly basis in order to make an informed "sell" decision.

It is very important that you treat investing in Heartland Investment Partners multi-family properties as a long term investment. Any investment outlook LESS THAN FIVE YEARS does increase your investment risk substantially! In other words, if you would require the return of your investment made in less than 5 years Heartland Investment Partners multi-family would NOT be the investment choice to make in order to reap all of the benefits that Heartland multi-family provides. 

We do. Heartland Investment Partners will prepare your necessary Tax Return (form k-1) and will provide this every year to investors for inclusion in their tax returns.

Our property management team takes care of the day to day cares of life management for our investment properties and reports to Darin Garman. Mr. Garman makes the asset management decisions for all of the properties. There is also a 4 person OVERSIGHT BOARD of Advisors (not compensated) that consist of investors that are involved in consulting not only Darin Garman but also Heartland Investment Partners.
