Read from bottom to top.
November 21st 2017 - Update
As you know we closed on Hermitage, the second property of the 137 units portfolio, on Thursday November 2nd.
We are consolidating the Operating Agreement signatures in a single document (FYI - while reviewing the signatures we noticed some forgotten inputs from some investors resulting in delaying the document consolidation and distribution). We will send a copy Deed of Trust for each property shortly.
We will send a monthly report to the investor to give an overview of the income & expenses, vacancies and major events. Beverly's first report is in work.
We aim at doing the first distributions to the investors early January, after the end of the 4th quarter.
The final rate of the loan on Hermitage was 4.48%, better than 4.75% used for underwriting.
Other exciting news: we have a new property in Memphis under LOI (Letter Of Intent [to purchase]). It is 168 units. We will keep you posted on the progress for this new acquisition soon.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Notes:
- 1. This is an extra update for my investors.
- 2. I will sent future update from the email address: ...
Happy Thanksgiving!

October 23rd 2017 - Update
Since we closed on Beverly on October 3rd, the Property Management team (Kismet Properties) has taken over and they are now managing the property. The feedback was it was a very smooth transition.
We have been working closely with the lender, the lender's counsel, the seller's counsel and our counsel to have everything ready for closing. They kept us busy!
Everything is ready to close this week on Hermitage, however the owner requested to close on October 30th (in order to finalize his 1031 exchange paperwork). This is not a particular concern for us, and the managing partners agree that the seller was rather accommodating so we agreed to grant them this short extra time.
The final rate of the loan on Hermitage will most likely be better than 4.75%, this will be confirmed shortly when we receive a loan commitment letter from the lender.
Please let me know if you have any question.

August 10th 2017 - Due Diligence
The due diligence on the property started. We received all the requested documentation from the seller. The audit of the tenant leases and details of the financial statements is ongoing. So far, we are satisfied with the our findings.
The physical Inspection of the property took place on August 3rd and 4th. Two of my business partners, Patrick and Mark, joined me. There were no bad surprises. The inspector mentioned that the property was well maintained. We are expecting quotes for various repairs, but there is nothing major to take care of right away (ex. some air conditioning units and furnaces are old, they will be replaced when they will stop working, part of the roof is to be replaced within 5 years). We have budgeted $320,000 for these items.
At this point our financial projections are basically unchanged. I attached an updated version of the property package to this email.
Next Steps:
Within the next 15 days, we will make our final go / no go decision on the property based on the final results of the Due Diligence and Inspection. Then we will send you the final property package and you will have the opportunity to commit to investing.
We will create of an Limited Liability Company, with an operating agreement describing day to day operations and major decisions subject to vote. You will be a partner of the LLC. A Private Placement Memorandum will be prepared to comply with SEC laws. All these document will be available for your review prior to signature.
The closing is scheduled by contract on September 15th, however we have the option to postpone it of 30 days. We will most likely exercise this option to allow sufficient time for the financing by the bank. Right before the closing, investment funds will be wired to escrow.
Please let me know if you have any question or if you can think of someone else who might be interested.
Thank you for your support!
---------------------------------------------------------
July 26th 2017 - Under Contract!
We have the property located 1103 S Cooper St Memphis, TN under contract!
After many iterations with the seller, broker and lawyers, we succeeded in getting the property under contract and secured the deal with earnest money deposit to escrow. My partners' real estate experience was invaluable while the negotiation took place.
We have started the due diligence on the property. Among other things, we will analyze the current tenant leases and details of the financial statements. The physical inspection of the property is scheduled for next week.
I will send you updated financial projections shortly.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any question or if you can think of someone else who might be interested.
Thank you for your support!
---------------------------------------------------------
July 9th 2017 - Update
We are getting close to having the property in Memphis, TN under contract (I sent you information about it a few weeks ago).
My partners bring a long experience in real estate and they helped me negotiate the terms of the Purchase & Sale Agreement. They will guide me in through all the steps of the due diligence, financing, closing and then management of the asset.
I will send you an email when we are under contract, and shortly after the final financial projections.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any question or if you can think of someone else who might be interested.
Thank you for your support!

My partners and I have a 80-unit property in Memphis, TN under LOI (Letter Of Intent). We should have it under contract within 2 weeks, and then, if the due diligence is satisfying, close 2 months after that.
There will be some room for limited partners bringing capital.
Please let me know if you are interested.

June 2017 - Multifamily Real Estate Investment Opportunity
I am starting a new investment activity in multifamily real estate with some partners. We are looking for investors interested in a ...% internal rate of return (IRR) over 5 years by investing in multi-family apartment buildings in the Southeast U.S. area. The minimum investment is $50,000. They can also invest with their IRA and maybe 401(k) (please ask me how).
Our strategy is to purchase $2M - $5M assets that are stable but present an opportunity for us to add value. Investors will receive monthly updates, and cash flow distributions are made at the end of each calendar year. Investors have the option of getting cashed out of their investment between year 3 and 4.
