Once our acquisitions team has done the initial due diligence on a deal, and it passes initial review, it goes to our financial team led by managing partner. It’s then run through a comprehensive analysis to ensure it meets our strict and conservative criteria. This analysis includes but is not limited to:
Stress Testing – Can the property hit 60% occupancy or less, and still meet all financial obligations?
Modeling significant operating reserves – Will the business plan operating reserves cover 8+ months of no income in a highly unlikely catastrophic/economic event?
Projecting conservative exit returns
Renovation/Value Add Plan – Vet and verify operating and capital expenditures – based on local trade rates, property management input and decades of professional experience
Conservative occupancy rates compared to market – modeling less than market occupancy markets
Conservative rental rates compared to like kind assets in the subject market
Plan for a conservative stabilization timeline
