STRATEGIC ASSET FUND – SERIES 5
INVESTMENT PROPERTY
The Fund considers North Park Apartments to be a highly opportunistic acquisition. North Park Apartments is a 192-unit, two-storey apartment community built in 1979.
Located in north Houston just 0.2 miles east of I-45 North, the property is less than two miles from Pinto Business Park, which has seen an explosion of growth over the past year with the recent opening of Amazon’s 855,000 square foot fulfillment center. Pinto Business Park also saw Sysco’s expansion of their current 585,000 square foot facility and the announcement of Emser Tile’s new 600,000 square foot distribution center, which broke ground October 2017.
The unit mix at North Park is approximately 54% one-bedroom and 46% two-bedroom units. Construction is of wood frame, with pitched tile roofs.
The Fund believes that the Houston multifamily market is in the recovery stage of the Real Estate Cycle. In addition to the potential upside in the market, the Fund believes that North Park Apartments presents a tremendous opportunity to increase net operating income through a strategic renovation program, introducing a utility reimbursement plan and installing washer/dryer connections in select units.

Houston is home to a thriving business economy that has rapidly diversified from its strong energy base. This economic diversification includes growth in high-technology industries, medical research, health care and professional services.
Houston’s economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics and transportation. Leading in health care sectors and building oilfield equipment, Houston has the second most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. municipality within its city limits (after New York City). (CBRE, Houston Multifamily, Q3 2017)
Houston is one of the fastest growing and 4th most populous U.S. City and the 5th largest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S., with an estimated 2.3 million people. (Berkadia, Houston Market Review, 2016)
HOUSTON - OVERVIEW & ECONOMIC HIGHLGHTS
HOUSTON – MULTIFAMILY REAL ESTATE MARKET
Houston’s multifamily market consists of just over 600,000 units and was expected to fare very poorly in the aftermath of the Hurricane Harvey. However, data gathered by the multifamily research group Apartment Data Services, who reached out to thousands of owners and managers, proved otherwise. The latest information released shows that only 15,600 units - representing 1.7 % of the inventory - took on water or were otherwise damaged. To put this in context, the number of affected units was surprisingly less than when Tropical Storm Allison hit in 2001, where 20,000 units were damaged in that storm. (CBRE, Houston Multifamily, Q3 2017)
When combining the units removed from Houston’s multifamily inventory due to flooding with a spike in demand from the thousands of residents seeking housing in 2017, a continued decline in overall vacancy – which sat at 11% prior to the storm – will be seen in quarters to come.
Also contributing to the forecasted vacancy diminishment is the relatively light development pipeline the region is facing, with just over 7,000 new units under construction.
Because of the stronger demand and moderation of new supply, rents will climb and free rent concessions will likely disappear. (CBRE, Houston Multifamily, Q3 2017)
Expect multifamily vacancy to contract by 200-300 basis points in the immediate future and come to rest firmly in the single digits in 2018.
Approximately 15,600 units within 215 properties reported damage, according to a survey completed by Apartment Data Services. When these properties were removed from operating inventory, the occupancy rate spiked to 90.2%, up from 88.9% at the beginning of August 2017.
Although some renters will return to their homes in the next six to nine months, demand from recovery efforts and new permanent renters will complement organic growth, which was already forecasted to pick up in 2019. (CBRE, Houston Multifamily, Q3 2017).

EXIT SCENARIOS
RENOVATION PLANS
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The Fund has two potential exit scenarios for North Park:
1. Sell the North Park as an apartment complex; or
2. Sell individual condominium apartments as the market improves
over the same time frame.
While multiple exit scenarios are possible, the anticipated exit scenario for North Park is to sell the property as an apartment building.
INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
• Immediate cash-flowing multifamily property.• Purchase Price of US$14,500,000, for 192 unit multifamily property.• Cash flow distributions largely treated as a return-of-capital.• 98.4% occupied (as of March 6, 2018).• Target quarterly cash flow distributions anticipated starting end of
Q2 2018.
• Potentially strong long-term capital appreciation.• 80% profit share for cash flow distributions.• 80% profit share for sale proceeds.• Sale distributions treated as a capital gain.• Securities offered are CD$ or US$ Trust Units.• Anticipated holding period of 4 to 6 years.
The additional revenue which potentially can be earned by continuing renovations and upgrades on the remaining units. Renovated units are currently charging an additional $60 monthly premium.
The significant operational upside over the current management, which includes the removal of rent concessions and implementing a Resident Utility Billings System (RUBS) to recover water, sewer and garbage disposal costs on a per unit basis.
Current rents being below market (last rental rate increase occurred in August 2015).
The installation of additional washer/dryer connections, which can be added to select units. Currently, units with washer/dryer connections are able to charge an additional $50 per month.
The Fund believes that there is a significant operational upside over the current management, which includes the lowering of expenses, stabilizing occupancy and increasing rents over time.
While occupancy rates may fluctuate, approximately 98.4% of the 192 units at North Park Apartments were rented as of March 6, 2018.
The various apartment units in the North Park complex are currently rented in the range of US$734-US$979 per month.
In connection with its plans to improve operations, the Fund anticipates incurring renovation costs over the next two years of approximately US$580,000 following the acquisition of North Park Apartments, including the following improvements:
• Repair pool decking and create resort-like pool atmosphere • Add new appliances to enhance the units • Vinyl plank flooring
• Ceramic kitchen and bathroom countertops • Installing in-suite Washer/Dryer connections • Beautify landscaping surrounding the property
