Location
Located in northeast Modesto, in one of the best school districts in Modesto. The property has 14, two-story buildings on 7.6 acres with a pool, spa and fitness center.

Over $600,000 of renovations were completed including extensive updates of the clubhouse, fitness center, leasing office and laundry room. In addition, new property signage was installed, upgraded landscaping, asphalt seal coating, pool resurfacing along with new interior and exterior furniture.

Anticipated Hold/Actual Hold

Additional Revenue Sources

During the hold period, the average in-place rent increased from $1,284 to $1,655 per month. As a result, the NOI was increased from $1.8 million at acquisition to $2.5 million at disposition, an increase of 40%

 

ESG Opportunities
Installation of drought tolerant landscape material, upgrades to pool furniture and the office/clubhouse remodel, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting and low VOC paint and flooring.
