Tenant Information & Lease Terms

Leases are signed on an individual basis at multifamily properties. The property manager will negotiate terms on a case by case basis. Leases are generally signed on a 12 month basis; however, this may differ for each tenant. Concessions are present in the local market and will be used to get tenants in the door.

Key Positives

  • The Debt Service Coverage Ratio on this property is over 2x which means that the cash flow from the property has the ability to pay the monthly loan 2 times over.

  • The local area does not have any developments currently under construction. This will limit the number of competing properties in the local area. The area that this property is located in seems to be infill.

Key Risks to Consider

  • The sponsor has projected their economic occupancy at 92.6% during the hold term, which does not allow for much cushion should there be an economic downturn.

  • The sponsor is also growing their Effective Gross Revenue at a rate above the projected Operating Expense growth.

  • The property is already occupied higher than stabilized values which limits the potential for growth in occupancy and value increase at the property.

  • The cap rate to investors is low (4.98%) and it is lower than comparable properties in the local market that average (5.17%).

  • The property is being purchased for a price of $220K per door which is higher than average investment cost
