We’re excited to share the successful disposition of Absolute Self Storage in Dallas, TX! This 337-unit facility, acquired in May 2019, was recently sold—resulting in a 53% IRR over a 5-year hold period. Our value-add strategy included: increasing NOI by 71%, refinancing the property for $3M in 2022, cleaning up significant bad debt and achieving an average 96% collections rate, and completed tenant-focus improvements like ADA upgrades, paving, painting, and facility lighting. We’re proud to have partnered with Merit Hill Capital for this transaction, ensuring a seamless close. With Fund IV already underway, we are applying the same strategic expertise to our current portfolio. Approximately $10M remains in this offering before it closes for the year—don’t miss your chance to invest.

With the election season in full swing, one thing is certain: the housing affordability crisis isn't going anywhere. Rising home prices, high rents, and stagnant wages are making it tough for millions of Americans to find affordable housing. With costs of living increasing, manufactured home communities offer an alternative for those seeking quality housing without the financial strain. Beyond affordability, mobile home communities bring stable cash flow, value-add opportunities, and a real sense of community. No matter the election outcome, mobile home communities are poised to play an even bigger role in addressing the ongoing need for affordable housing. Check out our recent article for a deeper look at how MHCs are meeting this demand and why they’re an increasingly valuable investment choice. Read here: https://hubs.la/Q02W3Dkm0
