The underlying strategy is to seek strong returns with moderate risk and low volatility. Such returns are generated by employing a value-added, opportunistic investment program in an effort to capture market inefficiencies resulting from a combination of factors that affect real estate values. NDC will identify unrecognized opportunities through an established network of local owner/operators and relationships with banks, brokers, trustees, law firms, portfolio servicers, title companies and other real estate service providers. The diversity of the United States creates a varying and localized real estate cycle that requires creative investment formats to capitalize on opportunities.

NDC's investment strategy is supported by the following: 

1. Access to significant investment capital;
2. Operating partners with local expertise and successful track records;
3. Objectivity and negotiating expertise;
4. Alignment of Interests created by a Co-investment structure;
5. Disciplined due diligence process;
6. Prompt decision-making and quick, efficient deal closing;
7. Proven investment platform in real estate joint ventures. 

The typical Co-investment structure mentioned above requires the operating partner to invest 10% alongside NDC's 10% and its Investor's 80% of total equity. A preferred return is negotiated based on risk prior to transaction formation. Cash flow from the operation of the property (if applicable) plus the profits from reversion or refinance are distributed pari passu to the partnership until each partner has received the preferred return and the return of invested equity.   The remaining proceeds are then divided based on a negotiated promote structure.
