🗓️Circa August 2010 during the middle of the GFC. We represented the Buyers in the purchase of this Bank-Owned (REO) 22 unit apartment complex in downtown Sacramento on P St. This was a classic REO with half of the complex vacant and the existing occupants not paying their rent or squatting while dealing drugs. This was a high liability asset for the bank to hold onto. 🔨🔩 Apartments required a full renovation. ⚖️ Eviction of all the squatters and non-paying tenants. 🔐 Protecting the renovations and appliances from vagrants. Renting out and stabilizing the property once renovations were completed. The Buyers were not afraid of the scenario and wrote an all cash non-contingent offer with a 5 day closing! 💰Purchased it for $1,232,000 or $56K / unit. This asset would trade for close to $250K per unit today and they still own it. The Buyers beat out multiple offers because they were willing to take on problems, acted quickly, and took the liability away off the seller in 5 days. They’ve since renovated, stabilized it, and are enjoying high market rents. #sacmultifamily #multifamily #sacramentorealestate
