GLADSTONE
2018
Our first apartment building purchase was two 1920's brick buildings we call Gladstone. The units were 50% occupied and were renting for up to $600/mth. We replaced roofs, performed grading, and installed new electrical boxes. We also remodeled the interior of all the units, retaining the natural charm of the historic building, while upgrading newer features like appliances and digitial door locks. Our tenants now pay $700+$45 per month rent. In 2020 we refinanced pulling out 90% of our initial down payment while keeping strong cashflow moving forward. During our 2 year project we also had the great opportunity to build and work with an amazing team, meet wonderful tenants, and get to know neighbors committed to improving the community.
PENDLETON
2018
Pendleton Heights Apartments was a dilapidated mid-1960s 18-unit apartment building. We purchased the property for $535k and immediately began a full renovation of all unit interiors as well as decks, stairs, lighting and paint which cost $550k. Rents were $695-$735/mth at acquisition. The property is now 100% occupied with tenants paying $885 +$65/mth. We received multiple offers in 2020 at $1.65M and decided to take the property to permanent debt, performed a cash out refinance and will continue to cashflow.
OAK
2019
We partnered in a real estate syndication to acquire Oak St Mansion, a luxury boutique AirBnB-hotel at Nelson-Atkins Art Museum near the Plaza, Kansas City's premium outdoor shops. As a 20% limited partner, we learned what works well and what we would do differently in a managing our own real estate partnership.
