Executive summary

A measurable rent gap, a funded plan to close it.

La Provence is a 56-unit garden-style community in Lake Wales, Florida — all studio units averaging 367 SF — offered at $6,500,000, effectively at the submarket's comp average on a per-door basis. In-place rents of $1,253 trail the appraised market rate of $1,315, a loss-to-lease of roughly $62 per unit per month, and the asset produces $458,412 of in-place NOI (7.1% cap on purchase) with day-one debt coverage at 1.16x — before any renovation upside.

A $302,125 renovation program, fully funded by loan proceeds and phased over the 36-month term, drives rents toward market and stabilizes NOI at a projected $539,633 — an 8.3% yield on purchase price and roughly $81,000 of added annual income. At a projected stabilized value of $7,700,000, the senior position exits through refinance or disposition with 1.37x coverage and a 10.42% debt yield.

Investment highlights

Why this credit works.

1.16x day one

In-place cash flow with immediate upside

$458,412 of current NOI covers debt service at acquisition. The 4.9% gap to market rents closes as units renovate.

$302K phased

CapEx program drives stabilization

Deployed over 36 months — $105K, $100K, $97K — upgrading suites systematically while minimizing disruption.

$539,633 NOI

1.37x DSCR at exit

Stabilized NOI implies an 8.3% yield on purchase versus 7.1% in-place — supported by comparable submarket rents.

$116K/door

Basis in line with comps

Acquired effectively at the submarket sales-comp average of $117K/door — a cost basis that protects the exit and limits downside.

6.8% vs 11.5%

Conservative vacancy posture

The Winter Haven/Lake Wales submarket runs 6.8% vacant against Lakeland's 11.5% — and the plan underwrites above the submarket rate.

36-mo I/O

Structure aligned to the plan

Interest-only through renovation and lease-up preserves cash flow and clears a path to permanent refinance at stabilization.

The property

56 studios on Highway 27 — with room to triple.

Location & market

The tight side of a growing MSA.

Direct frontage on US Highway 27 — the north–south arterial linking Winter Haven, Lakeland, and the Central Florida corridor — in a submarket running materially tighter than the metro.

Business plan underwriting10–12.5%
Broader Lakeland submarket11.5%

Vacancy comparison — the plan underwrites above the subject submarket's actual rate, a cushion against lease-up execution risk.
