How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
This was an off market deal; thanks to our local broker relationship. We were the only bidder. In 2023, we analyzed 300+ deals, half of which were off-market. We focus on unique off-market deals, like those involving family and business events or sale-leaseback scenarios, addressing sellers' specific challenges and often resulting in higher returns.
How did you finance this deal?
Regional Bank.
How did you add value to the deal?
The value addition stems from the growth in Net Operating Income (NOI), driven by a 4% annual rent escalation.
What was the outcome?
TBD: Investment horizon: 5+ years
Lessons learned? Challenges?
The deal went pretty smoothly overall, though we hit a minor snag. We had to ask for a $100,000 price reduction and tweak some lease terms due to an iffy roof report. Also, we set aside $200,000 for future roof replacement during our ownership.
