Overview

 

Terra Capital is seeking $25 million of equity to acquire, renovate and sell portfolios of lower middle market multifamily value-add properties.

Focus on sub-20-unit properties in high-growth midwestern markets, including Pittsburgh, Columbus and Indianapolis


Seek to aggregate unlisted, value-add properties, renovate and sell as a portfolio, thereby “institutionalizing” lower middle market real estate


Already successfully deploying this strategy in the target markets


Target markets have strong fundamentals – affordability, population growth, and quality job growth in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, education, and low-cost professional service sectors

Opportunity

 

Target markets share several attractive characteristics:

Less competition – management is unaware of other institutional real estate platforms with a strategy similar to Terra Capital’s in its target markets – mostly “mom and pop” operators


Favorable costs – management is finding plenty of inventory not “picked over” over by larger competitors, construction labor is available at a reasonable cost, more landlord-friendly laws, higher yields – cap rates tend to be in the 6.5%+ range versus a national average of about 5%


Management is finding numerous value-add opportunities – aesthetically pleasing townhomes and Victorian-style buildings with “good bones” in need of renovation

 

 

 

Solution / Strategy

 

Buy a series of sub-20-unit residential buildings, at attractive prices

  • many small multifamily properties require significant renovation, precluding many potential buyers
  • send approximately 4,500 outbound touches a week to mini-multi property owners via email, phone calls, and cold calls

Renovate properties to be “top of the market” quality


Sell portfolio of properties – patient exit strategy based on carefully monitoring market conditions to optimize results
