Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Church Buildings","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-church-buildings","published_at":"2026-07-13T16:52:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-church-buildings","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0112.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0112.mp3","summary":"Private equity has been quietly acquiring church properties across the U.S. for years, but the pace is accelerating. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the case of Conscientia Capital Partners, a firm that has raised $400 million to buy and lease back churches to their congregations. They walk through the economics: a typical deal involves a church selling its building for $2 million, then paying $18,000 a month in rent under a 20-year triple-net lease. Lucas breaks down the returns — a 10.8 percent cap rate versus 6 percent on a standard commercial property — and explains why religious real estate is suddenly attractive to yield-hungry funds. Luna pushes back on the risks: what happens when a congregation shrinks and can't pay rent? They also touch on the tax implications, the role of the IRS 501(c)(3) status, and how churches are increasingly willing to offload their biggest asset to stay afloat. A focused look at one of the stranger corners of the private equity universe. #PrivateEquity #ChurchBuildings #ConscientiaCapitalPartners #ReligiousRealEstate #SaleLeaseback #TripleNetLease #CapRate #Yield #CRE #NonprofitFinance #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheBuyoutShow #Finance #AlternativeAssets #ChurchFinance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Private equity has been quietly acquiring church properties across the U.S. for years, but the pace is accelerating.
