Apartment Acquisition
Just closed on a 12-unit multifamily property in South Florida. Paid $1.2M, which translates to a 7.5% cap rate based on in-place rents. Current rents are below market, with an average rent per unit of $1,100. Pro-forma rents show potential for $1,400 per unit, a 27% increase. Value-add plan includes renovating unit interiors, upgrading common areas, and implementing more efficient property management. Renovation costs are estimated at $150,000. Projected increased revenue and reduced expenses should boost the cap rate to 9%. With a projected resale value of $1.8M after renovatiosn, this property has the potential to yield a significant profit. The plan is to hold for 3-5 years, allowing time for the renovations to take effect and the market to appreciate.
