Tenant Information & Lease Terms

Leases are signed on an individual basis at multifamily properties. The property manager will negotiate terms on a case by case basis. Leases are generally signed on a 12 month basis however this may differ for each tenant. A security deposit must be provided by the tenants and subleasing is not allowed.

Key Positives

  • The loan term is for a total of 30 years, which offers the trust more flexibility to execute a sale for profit. The normal term on a DST loan is 10 years. Comparatively this loan allows for a sale when the trust feels they can maximize value.

Key Risks to Consider

  • NOI growth compounded over the hold period is 5.21% which is considered aggressive.

  • The cap rate to investors is low (4.5%).

  • The upfront costs to investors is high (14.76%) which may limit the ability to recoup these costs at the time of sale.

  • The interest rate has a variable loan which may make the debt more expensive should the rate increase.

  • The reserves are being placed into two different accounts which makes it confusing as to how these reserves will be used.

  • Operating Expenses are projected to decrease over 20% compared to the trailing 12 months of operation at the property.
