Opportunity
- Property was on the same city block as Franciscan Apartments
- Previous owner had done a poor job repositioning the property, pouring $100,000 of Capital Expenses into it, completing all the ‘heavy lifting’ items but not optimizing it well enough for disposition.
Strategy
- Having two properties adjacent to one another allowed us to reduce management costs and services, essentially enabling us to treat these properties as a combined 27-unit complex (16 in one, 11 in the other).
- Finishing the repositioning of the property and optimizing its upside potential.
Results
The complex was fully operating and stabilized within 16 months at a low renovation cost of $40,000. The property sold in just over two years delivering a Levered IRR of over 52% to our investors.
