Capital Calls, Member Loans & Recapitalization — What Every Multifamily Investor Needs to Know

If someone is asking you to put more money into a multifamily deal, do you know what you're actually being asked to do? And do you know what happens if you say no?

In this solo episode, Mark Kenney walks through every option available to a struggling syndication — member loans, capital calls, recapitalization, new offerings, and outright sale — and what each one actually means for GPs and LPs.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why the GP team should always contribute first before going to limited partners — and what that typically looks like

• How member loans work, who has priority in repayment, and the risk most people don't say out loud

• The key difference between a member loan and a capital call — and what non-participation in a capital call can actually cost you

• How penalty interest rates and equity dilution work when operating agreements enforce participation

• Why recapitalization almost always ends up unfavorable for existing investors — even when the terms look reasonable on paper

• When Mark would choose an outright sale over a capital call — and why breaking even is sometimes the best decision available

This is a topic most sponsors won't walk you through this clearly. Essential listening for any LP or GP navigating today's market.
