MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

The Oaks Living

This multi-family property involved a complex acquisition process of two separate, adjacent properties in order to combine them into a single 100-unit offering, The Oaks. The smaller, Oak Hill property actually has more spacious units, but was extremely distressed, requiring 22 of its 44 units to be completely renovated. Meanwhile, the already-stabilized Oak Ridge just across the street helped finance those renovations to provide Oak Hill with a 67% appreciation gain in just 18 months.

 

Initial Investment

Oak Hill
Purchase Price: $3.06M
18-Month ARV: $5.125M
TOTAL APPRECIATION: 67%

Rehab Plan

  • New LVP flooring

  • Interior and exterior paint

  • Installation of entirely new kitchen incl. cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances

Result

  • Work finished 22 units in 18 months

  • Appraisal came in at $5.125M, allowing an early, sizable return after a cash-out refi

  • Project saw a 67% appreciation increase from Oak Hill alone, with a total monthly revenue increase of 41.5%

Single-Family Home

Benton Blvd., Kansas City, MO

This single-family home on Benton Blvd. was a great opportunity. At a purchase price of just $23,000, it had some work to be done. But what started out rough turned into a superb rental property and handsomely rewarded the investor. With about $20,000 in rehab costs, Benton was later appraised at $100,000. Refinancing the property allowed our investor to gain $32,000 on an initial investment of just $43,000 in less than 7 months from the initial contribution.

 

Initial Investment

Purchase Price: $23,000
Rehab Cost: $20,000

TOTAL COST: $43,000

Rehab Plan

  • New floors, including carpet in bedrooms and woodwork elsewhere

  • Interior and exterior paint

  • Installation of entirely new kitchen incl. cabinets, countertop, and appliances

Result

  • Work finished within 5 weeks

  • Appraisal came in at $100,000, putting remaining equity at twice the purchase price and allowing for $75,000 to be pulled back out

  • Project saw a 150% annualized return in 6 months and netted a $32,000 tax-free return

multi-unit aparments

E. 88th Terrace, Kansas City, MO

This two-building, 18-unit apartment property came complete with pool facilities, two saunas, meeting room, and additional storage rooms, all for $760,000. Five of the storage and meeting rooms will be converted back to apartment units to obtain a full 23-unit potential. Additionally, rental rates will be increased about 30% to be in line with market rates. Multi-family properties are valued at a multiple of their net income. Therefore, APEX expects to be able to refinance the building at an appraisal of at least $1.25 million after an additional $150,000 investment in property improvements. This would allow a cash out of almost 10% more than the purchase price.

 

Initial Investment

Purchase Price: $760,000
Improvements: $150,000

TOTAL COST: $910,000

Rehab Plan

  • Refresh units to help get rents to market rate

  • Add at least five units to the building in already-existing space

  • Modernize laundry room and improve overall management

Results

  • Expect refinance to pay back initial contribution

  • Will re-invest cash for additional property to repeat process

  • Nearly 100% gain in equity after cash-out refi

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Agnes-Kansas-City.jpg

Single-family Home

Agnes Ave., Kansas City, MO

Agnes was APEX Capital’s proof of concept. At a $34,000 purchase price, it came already rented at $750 per month. When those tenants left nearly two years later, we decided to place it on the market after a quick $7,000 rehab. This allowed a sale for $73,000, which netted a return on investment of 325%.

Initial Investment

Purchase Price: $34,000

Downpayment: $6,700
Principal Paid Down: $1,000
Rehab Cost: $7,000

NET LIFETIME GAIN: $25,000

Rehab Plan

  • New carpet throughout

  • Interior and exterior paint

  • Touch-up and clean in a few areas that needed extra attention

  • Replace several kitchen cabinets and install new appliances

Results

  • Easy cashflows for nearly two years

  • Sale resulted in $25,000 profit on a $34,000 property
