Probable Real Estate Investment
On July 29, 2016, we, through our Operating Partnership, entered into an agreement to purchase a multifamily community located in Alexandria, Virginia (the “Alexandria Property”) from an unaffiliated seller. The Alexandria Property is a multifamily community with 11 units and amenities, including but not limited to storage lockers and a patio with barbeque area.
Pursuant to the agreement, we are obligated to make an earnest money deposit of $200,000. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if we fail to complete the acquisition, we may forfeit up to $200,000 of earnest money. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we would be obligated to purchase the Alexandria Property only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions. The purchase price of the Alexandria Property is $2.5 million plus closing costs. We intend to fund the purchase of the Alexandria Property with proceeds from this offering and debt proceeds.
The Alexandria Property encompasses 6,350 rentable square feet. The Alexandria Property was constructed in 1950 and is currently 100% leased. The average occupancy rate of the Alexandria Property during 2015 was 76%. The seller was unable to provide average occupancy rates for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The average effective monthly rental rate per unit, calculated as the monthly contractual base rental income, net of free rent, divided by the average units leased, for 2015 was $1,475. The seller was unable to provide average effective monthly rental rate per unit for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
We believe that the Alexandria Property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately insured; however, we intend to make certain renovations to the Alexandria Property. We intend to upgrade common areas and unit interiors.
