What to Know
The Sponsor will be acquiring the property at a 16% discount to comparable sales and is looking to upgrade all units at lease renewal and perform light renovations that include: installing new kitchen cabinets, laminating kitchen tops, installing high end sinks, and installing high efficiency fixtures.
Current Preferred Return Full Payment Priority over LP Equity Investors
‣ EM is offering investors a net 15% annualized interest rate, consisting of a net 8% paid monthly from operating cash flow and preferred reserves, and a 7% accrued and compounded return paid from the proceeds of a refinance or sale of the Property.
‣ A one-year current preferred payment interest reserve totaling $270K will be reserved up front.
‣ The Investment’s current return and principal repayment will have priority to any third-party equity investors and the Sponsor in the event of a payout.
Unique Value add Opportunity with Strong In Place Cash Flow
‣ The Property is currently 97% occupied with years 1, 2, and 3 NOI projected to reach $1.04M, $1.08M, and $1.13M respectively.
