Property Age

The property, a multifamily residential community for seniors known as Chestnut Oaks, was built in 2007.

The offering seeks to raise $21,530,000 in equity alongside $21,200,000 in fixed-rate debt to acquire a 150-unit senior housing asset in Fort Washington, Maryland for $34,250,000. The structure maintains a moderate loan-to-value ratio of 49.6% at a fixed interest rate of 5.95% through February 2036. Projected investor distributions begin at 4.6% in Year 1 and average 5.3% over the investment period.

Strengths & considerations

Key strengths

  • Moderate Leverage

    49.6% LTV

    Acquisition and offering leverage is conservative at 49.6%, reducing principal default exposure.

  • Long-Term Fixed Financing

    5.95% through 2036

    The debt has a fixed interest rate of 5.95% with a loan term extending to 2/1/2036, eliminating intermediate interest rate resets.

  • Established Sponsor Track Record

    25 DST Properties

    Sponsor has acquired 25 DST properties, including 19 senior and multifamily assets totaling over 3,000 units.

Key considerations

  • Low Debt Service Coverage

    1.15 to 1.00 DSCR

    Initial debt service coverage ratio leaves minimal cash flow buffer against unexpected operational declines.

  • Upfront Load and Expenses

    $2,373,875

    Total upfront fees and offering expenses represent a material percentage of the $21,530,000 equity raise.

  • Asset Age and Capital Needs

    2007 Vintage

    Constructed in 2007, the property requires ongoing capital upkeep, supported by $775,000 in improvement reserves.

The financing is structured with fixed-rate debt at 5.95% with a long-term maturity of 2/1/2036, mitigating variable interest rate risk. Moderate leverage of 49.6% limits debt exposure relative to total asset value. Additionally, the sponsor possesses substantial sector experience, having acquired 19 active adult, senior, or multifamily properties across its portfolio.

Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Debt Service Coverage

Initial coverage is tight

DSCR is underwritten at 1.15 to 1.00, meaning net operating income has narrow margin over the 5.95% fixed loan obligations.

Interest Rate & Maturity

Long-term fixed debt

The $21,200,000 loan carries a fixed 5.95% rate maturing on 2/1/2036, eliminating refinancing and rate reset risk for over a decade.

Front-End Load

Offering and transaction fees

Total front-end fees and expenses equal $2,373,875, including selling commissions of up to 6.0%, an acquisition fee of $770,625, and dealer fees.

Asset Maintenance

2007 construction

Built in 2007, the 150-unit community relies on $775,000 in improvement reserves and $667,600 in lender reserves for capital upkeep.

The transaction presents an initial debt service coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00, representing a tight margin of safety on debt service payments. The asset was constructed in 2007, necessitating ongoing capital maintenance, which is partially addressed by $775,000 in improvement reserves. Additionally, total upfront fees, commissions, and expenses of $2,373,875 create a load on invested equity.

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%.

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.

Strengths
