2Past performance is not indicative of future performance and the value of an investment may go down and result in partial or total loss of your investment.
3The Benchmark Companies Partners manages the West Michigan Private Capital Fund I, LLC, doing business as Benchmark Capital Finance, a Residential Real Estate Investment Fund which has successfully preserved our investor’s capital and consistently paid quarterly cash distributions though various economic and real estate cycles since 2009.
The Benchmark Companies Partners (BC) have observed the need to provide niche market funding to borrowers of residential real estate who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for traditional bank and Secondary Market financing. Our goal is to create a ready source of Capital that would be unavailable to these overlooked borrowers.
The benefit is threefold:
People are not computers and we believe computers cannot assess a borrower like another person can. BC searches for the real story behind the loan. BC uses three main criteria in its decision-making process.
BC believes the analysis of these criteria is best performed by a deductive mind rather than a CPU. Borrowers must prove they have the capacity to repay the loan. Loans are generally limited to 70% of the value of the collateral. Unlike a computer our underwriting team asks the tough questions to determine if the loan is proper for the borrower as well as our investors.
Through a combined 80 years of experience in the local West Michigan real estate market plus a keen understanding of the residential real estate investment phenomenon the BC management team has developed a unique model that provides a symbiosis of private investment capital with overlooked nontraditional borrowers.
BC has established referral networks of buyers, borrowers, brokers, builders, rehabbers, banks, attorneys and title companies that provides the
framework and the opportunity for the average investor to invest in residential real estate.
BC has developed and positioned the Benchmark Real Estate Fund to be able to take advantage of an overlooked opportunity to passively invest a portion of your portfolio into real estate that provides consistent
income and cash flow.

We have paid 64 consecutive quarters of cash dividends for our clients dating back to 2009.
The Benchmark Companies believe in the underlying principle that by providing the financial means with which buyers, sellers and investors are able to purchase, sell and improve real property, the natural byproduct is an establishment of otherwise unavailable affordable housing. By bringing unique products to the marketplace, we endeavor to tap into the buying public that traditional lenders do not service.
In so doing, in addition to bringing more owner-occupied buyers, we look to provide for the entrepreneurial motivations of local landlords, rehabbers and developers that improve neighborhoods, renovate housing, provide local jobs and create value in our community.
