Key points

The Ranches is a 79-home, townhome community, built in 2018 and located in Ogden, a dynamic suburb 40 minutes north of Salt Lake City.

A Thriving Location: Ogden has projected 5-year double digit job and wage growth of 10.6% and 12.5%, respectively. The population is also projected to grow at 12% over the next 5 years, far outpacing the national growth projection of 4%. Ogden’s attractive job market, affordable cost of living and access to outdoor recreation has resulted in Ogden seeing an influx of young professionals.

Rent Growth: The value add business plan will invest a total of $974,000 in the property, pushing rents to $1,950. Recent leasing is supportive of this plan with unrenovated rents averaging $1,889 (+13.6% vs in-place).‍

Low Interest Rate Risk: A combination of appealing location, new vintage, moderate capital plan risk and strong recent leasing is further enhanced by a favorable debt strategy, with the Sponsor securing a 4.36% (5 years interest-only) loan.

Why we like this investment

"The large, 2-story, floor-plans and direct access garages position the property as a very strong value alternative to home ownership, which is 32% more expensive than business plan rents for The Ranches. Additionally, the sponsor has locked in a 4.4% fixed-rate loan, effectively de-risking this opportunity from one of the most significant investment risk factors."
