Overview


DVO Real Estate, a successful investor in multifamily properties, and its strategic partner, Cypress Equity Investments (CEI), a successful CRE development and ownership platform – have formed an acquisition platform to take advantage of the ongoing capital market dislocation in the multifamily sector.

Seeking value-add and pre-stabilized multifamily transactions based on strict criteria


Current pipeline of four transactions is expected to increase with hope of closing on 8-12 properties over the next 18-24 months at approximately $20 million of equity per deal​


Immediate need for $18 million of equity to invest alongside $2 million from the sponsor to acquire a 175-unit value-add property in Kent, WA​


Extensive track record – $1.7B equity invested with over $620MM realized at a 38% gross IRR (supporting data available upon request)


Opportunity


DVO/CEI believe the current market offers plenty of opportunities based on the following criteria​

  • Ability to buy with a 20%+ discount from peak pricing​
  • Going in cap rate of 5.5%+​
  • Assume conservative market rent growth​
  • Utilize untrended in-place renovated/stabilized rents​
  • Utilize fixed 5-7 year fixed rate (primarily agency) financing​
  • Leverage must be neutral/positive within first 12 month​
  • Targeting those properties that may offer IRRs in the high teens to low 20%
