Why the cynicism?

In January 2014, we had zero units.  By January 2015, we had 404 valued at a purchase price basis of just shy of $20 million.  Now with the improvements we have put in, they are worth more than $20 million now.

They are the Valley Creek Apartments, Spartanburg, SC (102 units); the Village Park Apartments, Simpsonville, SC (132 units); the Addison Townhomes, Taylors, SC (54 units); and the Timbercreek Apartments, Spartanburg, SC (116 units).  You can look it up on CoStar or Reis Reports.

These apartments will have a combined NOI of over $1.5 million in 2015.

We worked very hard and got extraordinary results.
