Read about why there is no place like Houston here
Invest in an equity ownership of five multi-family apartment complexes located in southern Houston, TX. The properties: Shadowtree, The Townhomes, Plaza at Hobby, Casa Grande, and Airport Crossings are garden-style and 94% occupied. The submarkets where the properties are located have a deep pool of renters, who are supported by the area's extensive employment opportunities.
Over the last decade, Houston has seen significant new drivers of its economy due to expanding healthcare, renewable energy and technology sectors. These new career opportunities coupled with attractive cost-of-living and no state or city taxes are drawing a growing educated and skilled workforce to the area. The complexes, which were built between 1976 and 1983, have seen renovations performed to a small number of units. The sponsor intends to continue upgrading the remaining units to include new cabinetry, appliances, flooring, and fixtures in an attempt to increase rents before an eventual sale.
The offering is expected to provide investors a targeted annualized return of 15-17%, with an annualized ~7% of the expected return being distributed quarterly as current income. The balance of the returns are expected to be achieved via appreciation of the property at the time of sale or refinance. Since this is an equity investment, there is potential for returns to be above or below the target range.
• This offering is not available to pension plans, defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, retirement plans, IRAs, 401(k) and 403(b) funds, and funds comprised of these plans and funds.
Please refer to the Investment Memorandum in the Docs section for more details about this offering.
Capital structure
Where does Yieldstreet lie in terms of priority?
Yieldstreet’s $21M equity position is junior to ~$72.6M of senior debt and $4.8M of preferred equity. The senior lender has pre-approved the entire $8.9M renovation plan and is expected to fund the items in the budget as they are realized, which results in a total loan of ~$81.5M. The senior loan was provided by a publicly listed American investment firm and is secured by the portfolio, and the $4.8M preferred equity contribution was provided by a Canadian based REIT. The remaining common equity was provided by the sponsor, July Residential.
Cash flow
How do I get paid?
Over the life of the investment, investors are expected to receive a target annualized return of 15 - 17%, net of Yieldtsreet’s management fee and origination fee as further described in the Investment Memorandum. Investors are expected to receive cash flows from two sources: ~7% of annualized income from property rents, which is expected to be paid quarterly, and the balance of the returns are expected to be achieved via appreciation at time of sale or refinancing of the property, which is anticipated to be within 5 years.
