We are in business to fund charities. We plan to use our raised capital to fund local charities to help develop our community.
Mustard Seed Realty plans to provide funding for charities and non-profit organizations that have projects and initiatives that actively contribute to the well-being and betterment of the community’s people by providing resources, services, and opportunities that address their needs and improve their quality of life.
Our selected charities are local in nature and the selected groups will expand as this business grows. The first funded charity will be Community Relief, an Ohio 501(c)3 non-profit. Community Relief is a home repair ministry for people who are not capable of doing home repair projects themselves. Whether the supported person is elderly, handicapped or does not have the skillset, the organization’s volunteers come in, offer support, assistance and help the community. The second funded charity is development of caring closets projects, an action placing a “closet” into our local schools which provide toiletries to students that do not have those items readily available to them, such as shampoo, deodorant, soap, laundry detergent, combs, brushes, makeup remover, feminine hygiene products and other items the schools feel that are needed. The caring closet mission has been formed by the family behind Mustard Seed Realty and has been well received by the local community. The third funded charity plans to be local youth sports teams/ parks and recreation departments.
Our purpose is to fund and develop non profits that align with our mission.
Mustard Seed is currently debt free aside from the mortgages on the properties.
Mustard Seed receives its office space from Community Relief, a local non-profit. Community Relief will be the initial 501c(3) to receive community development funds from Mustard Seed.
We are more than an investment, we are a fund that builds a legacy throughout the communities we are in.
We are proven operators with a 15 year history of growth and profitability.
Ministries benefit from consistent support through tithes, donations, grants, and program-related income, creating a relatively predictable cash flow base.
Mustard Seed's plan is to act in good faith and donate to non-profits without a signed agreement. It is a common approach that maintains flexibility but could carry certain risks regarding donor intent and tax documentation. Charitable donation agreements are sometimes deemed necessary if Mustard Seed is making a large donation over time or to ensure that the recipient organizations have exclusive ownership and control over the gift and, if so requested, Mustard Seed may consider agreeing to such agreements.
Our goal is to use the wealth that is created through this business to improve our community. Mustard Seed estimates between 25-40% of the cash flow generated from property rental, management and operations will go to these charities. The percentage donated will be at the discretion of the manager and will vary year by year based on profitability.
Mustard Seed has methods for determining cash flow and potential expansion. Our minimum cash flow requirement is six percent (6%). However, we could likely see larger cap rates. We plan to seek and purchase projects that are undervalued and have room for growth.
Mustard Seed seeks to acquire both actively functioning properties and vacant properties. Acquired properties that continue operations and retain tenants could be on cash flow positive from day one. Most of the cash flow will be put back into the properties to provide for operations such as rehabilitation requirements, ongoing maintenance, management team and taxes over years one to three. Properties, vacant and uninhabited, need to have certain standards to attract quality renters. The Company does not engage third party inspectors but their team acknowledges HUD recommendations and code requirements. It is paramount that if we buy something that is currently vacant or in significant disrepair, in order to attract a quality renter, we will have to invest heightened levels of effort, repair and rehab into that property to enhance it. Committed development plans potentially extends structural availability of the property, enhances good quality and living conditions, and could ultimately increase the value of the Company’s efforts.
Mustard Seed plans to routinely inspect each property prior to purchasing and until each closing is complete. The Company intends to formulate a plan and put hard numbers for rent collection, for any cost of needed upgrades and for carrying costs on each unit in the phase of the purchase of the property. With past experience of buying and selling over 100 single family homes, the principal of the Company has been able to get very close on estimates over the years, usually within ten percent (10%) of cost estimates on previous projects.
