WHY WE LIKE THIS DEAL

Offering

snapshot:

Our Ideal Criteria: We never recommend a deal that we aren’t investing in ourselves. We invest alongside our partners. As stewards of your capital, we’re primarily looking at the following criteria when vetting properties to see if they would be a good fit for our investors;

  • Properties often in south-eastern states (such as FL, GA, TN, AL, MS, AR) with MSAs that have not yet peaked, but have ample room to grow, solid working class job bases and economies, landlord friendly environments and positive population and job growth.

  • Deals that are conservatively underwritten. This means large contingency reserves, significant buffers for any capital improvement projects, ample expense growth factored in and modest rent growth. Breakeven rents and occupancy levels that allow plenty of downside protection so that the deal can cashflow even with significant negative headwinds.

  • We expect a deal to meet it’s return specifications even in the event of cap rates moving unfavorably during the entire lifespan of the deal.

  • Class B/C

  • Units: 150-400

  • Opportunity: Value add/hybrid (value add + cashflow)

  • Projected Returns: 10%+ cash on cash, 15%+ IRR, plus bonus depreciation tax benefits and re-fi/return of capital often in year 2/3. We expect all good deals to have a ‘preferred’ return such that LPs are paid first – this guarantees alignment of interests with GPs. After preferred return is paid, we typically expect a 70% share to go to LPs.

  • Properties in need of some TLC/renovations, such that the delta between current and market rents is meaningful and there are opportunities to add amenities and make cost-effective improvements to units/property.

  • Properties that have not yet implemented extended revenue streams such as RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System), water billback, fee-based storage, etc.
