Key considerations

  • Single-Asset Exposure

    1 Property

    Cash distributions and capital preservation depend entirely on the performance of a single facility in Indianapolis.

    The targeted duration of approximately 11 years requires a long-term capital commitment.

  • Upfront Load and Expenses

    $3,844,497

Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Leverage Risk

Zero debt completely eliminates lender default and refinancing risks.

The trust operates with $0 debt and a 0% LTV over the entire anticipated holding period.

Concentration Risk

Single-asset portfolio exposes investors to localized market and tenant dynamics.

The investment is tied exclusively to a single industrial warehouse located at 4210 West 67th Street in Indianapolis.

Upfront Fee Load

Upfront expenses and carrying costs reduce initial net capital allocation.

Total front-end fees and expenses are $3,844,497 with carrying costs of $1,618,736 on a $40,468,388 equity raise.

Liquidity & Duration

Extended anticipated hold limits liquidity options.

The targeted holding period is approximately 11 years, requiring an extended capital commitment.

Investment risks include single-asset concentration in an Indianapolis industrial property and an extended anticipated hold period of ~11 Years. These factors are balanced by an all-equity capitalization that eliminates refinancing and debt service default risks.

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.

Leverage profile

All-cash offering — no mortgage debt, so there is no leverage to chart.

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.
