Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Leverage & Debt

Conservative 47.5% LTV with 10-year fixed rate terms and 2.02x DSCR.

The loan structure features fixed-rate financing of $25,300,000 against a $46,000,000 acquisition value, minimizing interest rate risk and default likelihood.

Syndication Fees

Front-end load on equity stands at 7.75%.

Total offering expenses of $2,738,084, paired with a $1,150,000 acquisition fee, constitute typical but material DST equity dilution.

Physical Asset & Vintage

Constructed in 2005/2008 (312 units).

The property is approximately 16-19 years old, requiring capital preservation; $1,925,000 is reserved upfront for property improvements.

Sponsor Scale

Institutional track record with $3B AUM across 66 assets.

Hamilton Point Investments operates 12,000+ units across 13 states with an in-house management team exceeding 320 employees.

Key considerations include a 2005/2008 asset vintage requiring a dedicated $1,925,000 improvement reserve. Upfront offering and acquisition fees total over $3,888,000, creating equity dilution above the base real estate cost. The investment relies on master tenant performance under a Delaware Statutory Trust structure governed by statutory operating restrictions.
