Frequently Asked Questions

The properties we are most interested in include properties that are not being optimized and commercial properties that could be converted into hotel or mixed-use properties, as well as faded prime urban areas being newly restored and revitalized. We believe this usually precedes and propels the demand for exciting new hotels and residences.

We partner with global real estate brokers who understand our goals as well as the local and regional markets and are able to help us better identify and reposition underperforming hotel and commercial properties into luxury apartments, boutique hotels and commercial destinations, and multi season resort environments with hotel/apartment concept potential.

Our strategy is to focus on...

• Real Estate Appreciation:
  • Global markets where we can acquire properties in World-Class cities with the potential for dramatic real estate appreciation
  • Markets that have experienced a stagnant economy or economic hardship that we believe have an opportunity for or are in the midst of a major rebound
  • Markets with a positive economic outlook
• Capital Improvements
  • Acquire under-appreciated and distressed assets that we can purchase cheap and renovate back to world-class standards
  • Reposition building assets to include amenities such as restaurants, bars, pools, and spas
• Potential Cash Flow
  • We will be in a better position to run a profitable enterprise by going into markets with the ability to acquire properties with little or no mortgage or interest expense
  • Cost of labor/employees can be a third to one-half or less, than in the US thus achieving the best potential for a positive cash flow
• The Value of our Brand
  • Algodon is a luxury, five-star, lifestyle brand
  • It is a Fusion of The Best of the Past...and the Best of Today.
  • Inspired by both the Cotton Club days of the Roaring 20's, and the distinctive style and glamour of the 50's "Rat Pack" when travel and leisure were synonymous with cultured sophistication, the Algodon is the modern day equivalent in a global travel lifestyle. Taken from the Spanish word for "cotton," the Algodon conjures a clean and pure appreciation for the good life, a sense of refined culture, and ultimately a destination where the best elements of the illustrious past and the affluent present meet.

IPG structures investment partnerships that allow our investors to participate in opportunities traditionally available to institutional investors. We have a vested interest in each property, as our partnerships typically participate in each investment.

As IPG typically partners alongside our clients, our goals and communication needs are the same. IPG manages these relationships on a day-to-day basis in an effort to maximize our property's value. We recognize that communicating with our investors is key, and we commit to keeping our clients informed with up-to-date information regarding progress, events, and happenings of each property. Due to the nature of investing in a private equity partnership, there are a limited number of qualified investors who may participate in each opportunity. Our clients will be among the select few who own a piece of these exciting new hotel or resort destinations.

Creating Value, Building Wealth. IPG believes in developing great financial opportunities by identifying and repositioning underperforming hotel and commercial properties into luxury apartments, boutique hotels, and commercial destinations. We currently identify world-class cities that have tremendous potential for real estate appreciation by looking at the latest tourism trends and by taking into consideration their local exchange rates and present currency values. In certain cities, we envision a dramatic increase in real estate values in the years ahead. IPG believes in creating a brand identity whose name, style, and reputation for luxurious design and quality create a lasting impression. Boutique hotels have become more and more fashionable, and the trend only seems to be growing. Smaller luxury hotels specialize in offering distinctive luxury amenities and services and serve as a launching pad for renowned restaurants, lounges, and spas that in turn establish a loyal consumer base and travel destination.

Our strategy allows you, the individual investor, to become a part of a project that you may otherwise never have a chance to get involved in. Furthermore, our offshore investment in an emerging market provides a hedge against the US economy, US real estate prices, and the US stock market.
