5th Ave Apartments

Our first value-add multifamily acquisition, purchased off-market with strong upside. The building was well constructed and well maintained, with major capital items — windows, roof, and boiler — replaced only a few years before we bought it. With under $100,000 in targeted renovations, we increased the property's value by more than $400,000.

The project

What we did

A straightforward renovation project across five units: complete updates to kitchens and bathrooms, with new doors, flooring, trim, lighting, and fresh paint throughout. The common areas, structure, and mechanical systems were already in excellent condition — which is exactly why we bought it.

  • Acquired off-market
  • Renovated five units — kitchens, bathrooms, doors, flooring, trim, lighting, and paint
  • Added new dishwashers and building-wide tenant Wi-Fi
  • Improved net operating income by 63% within 22 months
  • Refinance returned 100% of investor capital
