A Secured Insurance Advantage: New ownership benefits from a $70,546 insurance quote ($578/unit) securedthrough a third-party provider, representing a 31% reduction from the property’s trailing expense of $102,936($844/unit). The quoted premium is already incorporated into the pro forma, providing a supported reduction inoperating expenses rather than relying on projected savings.
Water Conservation / NOI Enhancement Opportunity: An overhaul program, which would include newshowerheads, aerators, low-flow toilet replacement, and repair of many anticipated leaks could reduce annualwater and sewer expenses by approximately $115,000, or $943 per unit per year, on an estimated $81,000investment. With an estimated nine-month payback period, the program offers a compelling opportunity to loweroperating expenses, increase NOI, and create additional property value.
Other Income Upside: Current self-management has resulted in limited collection of customary fees such as latefees, pet fees, and application fees. A professional operator could implement a more consistent fee structure,creating additional recurring income and NOI growth with minimal capital investment.
