40 Units

Highlights: The property was built in 2020 and is constructed of wood frame with pitched shingle roofing. The complex consists of (2) three-story apartment buildings with a total of (40) units, approximately 40,000 gross square feet and is situated on 1.65 acres. The unit mix is all three-bedroom, two bath units featuring stackable washer and dryer units, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. This property is ideally located just minutes from Downtown Orlando and under 15 minutes to the Orlando International Airport and the University of Central Florida. The property is being liquidated as part of a bankruptcy filing by the original developer. The property is vacant but well maintained.

Repositioning: The property will be acquired $7,200,000. The demand for 3/2 rental properties is exceedingly high and the current supply of quality units is extremely low, thus creating a premium rental market. Current market rent ranges from $1,675 to $1,895. A rental survey indicates that the first (20) units can be leased within 15 days of acquisition for $1,675 and the remaining (20) units should be absorbed within 30 days at a minimum of $1,775 providing gross rental income in excess of $828,000 for year one.

An Overview of Core, Core Plus, Value-Add and Opportunistic Investments

If you spend any time around commercial real estate...

If you spend any time around commercial real estate, you’re bound to hear the terms core, core plus, value-add and opportunistic real estate thrown around. These terms are used to define the level of risk and return potential of an investment property. Not only are the physical attributes of the property used to define an investment but the amount of debt financing to support the project is also imperative.

To explain why the debt financing has such an important role, I find it easy to understand if you look at a single-family property. If a property has a long-term lease in place, it can sound attractive to a conservative investor who wants to play it safe. However, if the same property has been primarily financed through debt with very little equity, it can paint a very different picture. Should the property value decrease, the owner could end up owing more on the property than it’s worth.

As a commercial real estate investor, you should know about each of these terms. Let us take you through them one by one to help you understand them better.
