Unlock Equity Without Selling, Refinancing, or New Debt

Access Apartment Equity Without Giving Up Ownership

Receive lump-sum cash from your building’s value while keeping your mortgage, rental income, and control.

What We Do

At California Apartment Equity Solutions (CAES), we specialize in helping owners of 5–50 unit apartment buildings unlock built-up equity — without refinancing, selling, or taking on new debt.

Our proprietary solution is called an Apartment Equity Investment (AEI) — a second-position agreement that allows you to receive a lump sum today, with no monthly payments, no interest, and no refinancing required.

✅ Cash Advance: $100K–$500K (Typically 5%–20% of your property’s value, depending on available equity)
✅ You Keep Full Ownership and Management
✅ No Monthly Payments or Interest
✅ Your Mortgage Remains Untouched
✅ Funds Can Be Used for Renovations, Buyouts, Debt Consolidation, Legal Settlements, and More

We’re not lenders or brokers. We originate equity-based agreements and assign them to sophisticated investors who share in future upside — only if and when you sell, refinance, or buy them out..

FAQs

Q: Is this a loan?
A: No. This is an investment, not a loan. There are no monthly payments and no interest.

Q: Will I still own the building?
A: 100% yes. You keep full ownership, control, and rental income.

Q: What happens at the end?
A: When you sell, refinance, or buy out the investment, the investor receives a portion of the property’s appreciation.

Q: What if my building goes down in value?
A: Then the investor shares in the downside. Their return is at risk — just like any equity investor.

Q: Do I have to qualify for credit?
A: No personal credit check is required. We evaluate the property’s equity.

Q: Do you record a lien?
A: Yes, we record a second-position lien to secure the investment.

Q: What are the funds used for?
A: Anything you want — improvements, legal needs, debt consolidation, acquisitions, estate planning, etc.

Q: What’s the catch?
A: There isn’t one. We are completely transparent. Our model is built on aligned interests and full disclosure.
