Investment Highlights

• Conveniently located in the Cypresswood sub-market of North Houston. The property is situated just north of FM 1960 between I-45 and the Hardy Toll Rd. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is a short 15 minute commute.

• The Average Household Income within a 2-mile radius is approximately $70,000. Median Household Income within a 2-mile radius is approximately $50,000.

• Strong value-add opportunity with good in-place cashflow. Rents appear to be over $125/unit on average below those of comparable properties and significantly lower than those of fully renovated peers. Implementing a technology package would potentially allow for an additional $50/unit/month or over $100K increase in other income.

• Within the last 4 years, approximately $1MM in extensive exterior, mechanical and interior renovations have been spent, including HVACs, plumbing, roofing, flooring replacement, appliances and more.*

• 88/192 units have W/D connections. Adding W/D connections to the remaining 54% of the interiors could generate an additional $50/unit or over $60K in annual revenue.

• The strong in-place cashflow alongside the value-add component supports a menu of attractive financing options depending on investor goals and future exit strategy, including agency, CMBS and bridge options.
