What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'm always looking for value-add multi-family opportunities; and I've loved the Charleston area since being stationed there in the Coast Guard.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This off-market deal came together with the right group of partners at the right time. Originally, a local REI put the property under contract and immediately (and unfortunately) experienced some personal issues. He was friends with one of our partners have asked if we would be interested in an assignment. We loved the deal and he assigned the contract.

How did you finance this deal?

75% traditional financing; invested $125K from current assets and raised $125K from private investors. Currently paying private investors 10% preferred return and gave them 10% of the equity.

How did you add value to the deal?

We are adding approximately $180K worth of value through flooring, painting, and cabinet and countertop updates. Additionally, the rents are severely below market and we plan to raise those over the course of the next 18 months.
