Straight answers on the structure, the returns, the reporting and the tax side of a Blue Key Builds project.
Blue Key Builds is a boutique real estate development company that specializes in ground-up construction of purpose-built short-term rental homes. We focus on select markets and design each property to operate as a high-performing Airbnb-style rental from day one.
You are investing in a specific, ground-up real estate development project. Each investment is tied to the construction, setup and operation of a purpose-built short-term rental home in a carefully selected market.
Every Blue Key Builds investment is project-specific. Each offering is tied to one build and clearly outlines the structure and the underlying asset, so investors know exactly what they are participating in and can follow its numbers.
As soon as a property starts generating revenue, monthly distributions are made to investors from the owner statement. Because of our process and systems, properties produce cash flow as soon as they are completed.
Yes. We can process funds through a variety of self-directed retirement accounts.
No. Our opportunities are currently open to both accredited and non-accredited investors.
To qualify as an accredited investor, an individual generally must either have a net worth of at least $1,000,000 (excluding a primary residence) or have earned at least $200,000 in each of the past two years ($300,000 combined with a spouse or partner). There are additional, less common ways to qualify, and our team is available to discuss whether one of those situations may apply.
Investors receive monthly reports on their investment, including income, expenses and updates relevant to the property.
Yes. Investors generally receive their proportionate share of depreciation and taxable income or losses, which are reported annually on a Schedule K-1. The actual tax impact depends on your individual circumstances.
Investors should expect to receive a Schedule K-1 each year. Our goal is to deliver K-1s on or before March 15.
New opportunities are offered periodically through the year as projects are identified and ready to launch. Timing depends on market conditions and project readiness rather than a fixed schedule, and investors with funds already placed see new projects first.
A short questionnaire tells us about your background as an investor, your goals and whether our opportunities are a fit.
A one-on-one conversation with our team where you can ask about the properties, the process and the structure, and we learn what you are looking for.
New projects open periodically through the year. Investors who have expressed interest see the project summary, timeline and numbers first.
We are always sourcing land, and sometimes already have a parcel under contract or owned. Once a project is tied to an investor, construction starts, followed by setup for short-term renting.
As soon as the property starts generating revenue, monthly distributions are made to investors, and Blue Key Builds keeps managing the asset.
