  • Asset Age

    1999 Vintage

    The property was completed in 1999, which may require ongoing capital expenditures despite dedicated improvement reserves.

  • Prepayment Flexibility

    9.5-Year Yield Maintenance

Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Leverage & Debt Structure

Favorable

At 46.17% LTV and a 1.8x DSCR with 10-year fixed financing at 4.81%, default risk is mitigated by conservative debt metrics.

Syndication Load

Caution

Total front-end expenses and commissions of 9.40% ($6,207,904) create an initial premium over the $103,000,000 direct real estate acquisition cost.

Exit Flexibility

Restricted

The loan imposes yield maintenance prepayment penalties for 9.5 years, narrowing refinancing and early sale windows.

Property Vintage

Neutral

Completed in 1999, the 408-unit garden community is supported by an upfront $4,500,000 master tenant improvement reserve.

The 1999-vintage asset is subject to substantial upfront loads totaling 9.40% and front-end fees of $6,207,904 that create a spread between acquisition cost and offering price. Debt terms include stringent prepayment penalties under yield maintenance for the first 9.5 years. Realization of projected returns depends on master tenant execution and market performance in the Tampa metro.

Financing Terms

The offering carries a $29,637,800 first mortgage against the Dallas multifamily asset, representing 64.2% leverage on the acquisition price. The loan is fixed at 5.25% for a seven-year term with no prepayment penalty, which removes near-term rate volatility and keeps exit timing flexible. Projected net operating income covers debt service at 1.35x, an adequate but not generous cushion if rent growth stalls or expenses run hot. Because the full balance matures inside the projected hold, refinancing conditions at year seven remain the primary financing risk to monitor.

The Loan is pre-payable in full, subject to a yield maintenance calculation (with a floor of 1.0% of the then principal balance of the Loan) if the Loan is prepaid during the first 9.5 years of the term of the Loan. In addition, if prepayment is made after the expiration of such yield maintenance period but before the last calendar day of the fourth month prior to the month in which the loan matures, then the prepayment premium will be 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid. No prepayment premium is required during the 90-day period directly prior to maturity of the Loan. No voluntary partial prepayment is permitted.

Transaction Metrics

Transaction fields tie the $50.0M acquisition price to the $60.0M offering price and the $61.50M appraisal, so the pricing gap is visible rather than implied. The offering prices 20.0% above acquisition cost and reads a -2.44% premium/discount to appraised value. Cap rates compress from 5.25% at acquisition to 5.75% syndicated, a 50 bps spread absorbed by fees and load. Load figures of 4.30% on equity and 2.40% on offering price are the fields most worth pressure-testing.

Use of Proceeds

Use of proceeds shows where investor capital actually lands: $46.36M, or 77.3% of the offering, reaches the property. Offering expenses of $7.80M and acquisition costs and reserves of $5.84M consume the remaining 22.7%. Total fees and expenses of $13.64M equal 21.13% of equity and 12.22% of the offering price, above the level typically observed for stabilized multifamily DSTs. Reserves of $3.88M are appropriately sized for a 12-year-old asset.

Sponsor Compensation

Front-end sponsor compensation totals $5,094,395, or 10.19% of acquisition cost, spread across five disclosed line items. The $1.96M acquisition fee is the largest single component at 3.04% of equity, followed by $1.24M of carrying costs. O/O reimbursement, DST admin and loan origination fees add a further $1.90M. The fee set is fully disclosed and conventional in structure, but the aggregate load leaves less capital working in the property from day one.

Operating & Disposition Fees

Ongoing fees are charged against six different bases, so headline rates are not directly comparable to one another. The 3.00% property management fee on EGI and 1.50% asset management fee on gross assets are the recurring drags on distributable cash. Master tenant income of 2.00% of annual rent sits on top of those, and a 1.00% disposition fee plus 1.00% refinancing fee apply at capital events. Trust administration is a modest $25,000 flat annual cost.
