Generate yield on idle cash across every property, entity, and bank - built for real estate operators. Next-day liquidity, assets in your name, without changing banks.

What are real estate cash sweeps?

Real estate cash sweeps automatically move idle operating and reserve cash into yield across the properties, entities, and banks a real estate organization runs - without disrupting lender relationships or day-to-day operations. Balance is the treasury layer built for how real estate portfolios actually work.

The real estate treasury problem

Real estate operators run cash through dozens - sometimes hundreds - of accounts: an entity or SPV per property, multiple lenders, regional banks, and reserve accounts. Cash ends up fragmented and idle, and the cost is real: roughly $35,000 to $45,000 per year in foregone yield for every $1 million left idle.

How Balance works for real estate

  • Per-property and per-entity sweeps.

    • Each entity sweeps under its own tax ID, never pooled.
  • Across every bank and lender relationship.

    • No switching banks, no restructuring accounts.
  • Respects your structure.

    • Works within the account and lender constraints your operations require.
  • Portfolio-wide visibility.

    • Real-time balances across the whole portfolio, plus forecasting and tagging.

Built for how operators work

Finance leaders at real estate firms already use Balance to consolidate visibility and optimize yield across complex, multi-entity structures - from multifamily operators to real estate private equity.
