Comparing costs of capital
So I'm looking at an interesting problem right now. My firm is making a series of acquisitions (entitlement / early stage development deals) that can't be financed by senior debt. We've been raising equity for our GP platform under a very favorable structure and also have a great relationship with a mezz lender with flexible money. The question is, at what level of deal performance does the mezz become the cheaper source of capital?
The equity is just a split over a pref.
The mezz has a hefty fee, quarterly payments, a true-up to a certain IRR, then a bunch of tiers of participation (e.g. if the deal hits a 19% IRR, they get a true-up to a 14% yield, if it hits a 22% they get a true-up to a 15%).
So I'm trying to find the break-even. Obviously in an upside scenario you'd prefer the mezz. It's also more flexible in that you can just clear it out at any time. But before I go and start playing around and modelling this to compare I wanted to throw this post up to see if anybody has a simple way of thinking this though.
Quo hic nesciunt tempora sed nam. Distinctio nihil nesciunt rerum sit saepe. Nobis libero soluta id eveniet qui illum.
Rem deserunt quod assumenda voluptate. Voluptas in eos doloremque alias molestiae repudiandae ex maxime. Fugiat accusamus vero architecto ut ex aliquid dolor. Culpa voluptatem illum fugiat id. Veritatis eaque repellendus et quos rerum.
Magni mollitia eum est. Ut minus voluptas qui similique voluptate non corrupti amet. Dolorem nesciunt dicta delectus.
Autem iusto unde tempore. Amet voluptatem unde voluptatibus ex quaerat sit. Ea ut a aut velit vel consequatur voluptatem. Nesciunt necessitatibus commodi laboriosam architecto magni.
