Strengths & considerations

Key strengths

  • Modern Asset Vintage

    2023 Completion

    The 325-unit multifamily property was completed in 2023, minimizing near-term structural capital expenditure requirements.

  • Long-Term Fixed Financing

    10-Year Term @ 5.3%

    Debt is secured with a fixed interest rate of 5.3% over a 10-year duration, insulating the asset from interest rate volatility.

  • Moderate Offering Leverage

    50.55% Offering LTV

    The debt-to-equity structure maintains an offering LTV of 50.55% on $47,189,000 of total loan proceeds.

Key considerations

  • Negative Initial Spread

    4.7% Cap vs. 5.3% Rate

    The acquisition cap rate of 4.7% is 60 basis points below the 5.3% interest rate on the $47,189,000 loan.

  • Front-End Fee Burden

    $5,562,197

    Total offering expenses and front-end fees represent $5,562,197, expanding total acquisition cost with reserves to $87,797,703.

  • Single-Asset Concentration

    325 Units / 1 Property

    All trust cash flows depend entirely on the performance of a single property located at 1246 Allene Avenue in Atlanta, GA.

The asset is a modern 2023-vintage multifamily development totaling 325 units. Financing is locked on a 10-year term at a fixed 5.3% interest rate, removing interest rate floating risk. Leverage remains moderate with an offering LTV of 50.55%.

Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Leverage Spread

Negative spread at acquisition

The asset was acquired at a 4.7% cap rate against a 5.3% fixed borrowing rate on $47,189,000 in debt.

Front-End Load

Substantial offering expenses

Front-end fees and expenses total $5,562,197, which includes $2,241,250 in acquisition fees and $923,258 in dealer fees.

Debt Profile

Stable long-term fixed debt

10-year fixed loan structure at 5.3% eliminates interest rate reset exposure during the primary holding period.

Asset Age & Quality

Modern 2023 construction

Completed in 2023, the 325-unit multifamily property presents minimal initial deferred maintenance risk.

The initial acquisition cap rate of 4.7% sits below the 5.3% fixed interest rate on the debt, creating initial negative leverage. Front-end fees and expenses total $5,562,197, representing a meaningful loading on the $81,500,000 acquisition price. Performance relies on achieving projected master tenant income of $2,730,546 without secondary market data disclosed.

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.

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%.

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.
