INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund will be expected to purchase, renovate, and sell approximately 120 properties in the Jacksonville and Gainesville areas over 2.5 years, and each property will be fully renovated and leased within 90-120 days. Once leased, the Fund will either place conventional debt on the properties or sell the properties as turnkey investments. Assuming a capital raise of $1MM, the Fund should be able to deploy all of the capital within 60 days. In the event that the Fund is unable to liquidate the properties through a sale, conventional debt will be placed on the properties to return the investor equity. Sun Coast has identified B2R, Colony American Finance (current lender), First Atlantic Bank (current lender), and Jacksonville Bank as sources of debt.

The Sponsor anticipates exiting its investments in one of the following two ways:

  1. Hold the assets using cash out capital from long term financing or short term warehousing facilities.
  2. Sale of individual assets.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND RISK MITIGANTS

This is an investment opportunity to participate in a fund that will purchase, renovate and recapitalize single family and small multifamily homes in the Greater Jacksonville and Gainesville areas, which have been some of the most profitable areas in the U.S. to purchase and rehabilitate properties.

  • Experienced Sponsor: Sun Coast and its affiliates have over 30 years of experience in residential investments and is one of the largest private owners of single-family residential in the Jacksonville area. Over the last three years, Sun Coast has acquired and renovated 800+ single-family properties. Sun Coast and its affiliated companies have deployed in excess of $35 million in personal and JV equity over the last five years in the residential real estate market.
  • Moderate Leverage: The transaction will benefit from a $3MM line of credit provided by Colony American Finance, which will hold first liens on the properties in the Fund. The line of credit allows for maximum leverage of 80% of cost (purchase price and capital expenditures) or 70% of appraised value of a purchased property, whichever is lower.
  • Corporate Guaranty: The Sponsor has provided a corporate guarantee on this investment. The Sponsor currently manages over 1,100 units with an estimated market value of $85MM.
  • Exit Capital: Sun Coast maintains relationships with and has identified B2R, Colony American Finance (current lender), First Atlantic Bank (current lender), and Jacksonville Bank as sources of debt, which will provide refinancing options after renovations are complete.
