OREI reapproached a national brokerage firm following a broadly marketed process, due to the previous buyer's seeming uncertainty of execution. Following 6 months of consistent tracking, and the transaction ultimately falling through, OREI contractually stepped in as the buyer at a lower price, with terms and a track record that ensures the ability to close.
Austin has been named the #1 fastest-growing major metro area for population growth for nine straight years. Austin has also ranked the #1 place to live in the United States, for the third consecutive year in 2019. The Austin area consists of several Fortune 500 companies, including Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Dell, IBM, Oracle, and soon Tesla's new Gigafactory. Through the COVID-19 pandemic era, Austin added over 37,000 new jobs, marking 3.5% growth and making the city the 2nd fastest-growing metro in the United States. The City recently approved the Orange Line, a new metro rail that will be passing just two blocks from the Property and will provide commuters with convenient access to the Tech Ridge and Downtown Austin. The submarket has averaged 4%+ rent growth and 95%+ occupancy over the past 10 years.
Though built in 2012, OREI has an opportunity to enhance all 222 units at Lotus Village, while also further enhancing amenities and exterior spaces. OREI has the ability to raise the average current rents of $1.33 per square foot to $1.51 per square foot, which results in a $172 premium over in-place rents and assumed stabilized occupancy at 92%.

Market Overview
With approximately one million residents and population growth of 30% over the last 10 years, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States, the 4th most populous in Texas, and ranks #2 nationwide in job growth. Over 15 Fortune 500 companies across the Technology (Apple, DELL Technologies, IBM Corp, Oracle Corp, Amazon, Facebook and soon Tesla), Manufacturing (3M, General Motors, NXP Semiconductors), and Financial (VISA, Charles Schwab, Citizens) industries are present in the Austin area.
The Property abuts to Highway 35 which provides a 9-mile commute (14 minutes) to Downtown Austin, which houses some of the largest employers in the nation such as Oracle, Dell, IBM, and Apple. The Property is ~12 miles from Tesla’s new Austin Gigafactory which is under construction and is expected to add around 5,000 new jobs to the market shortly after it delivers in May 2021.
Austin will be adding its first major league franchise in 2021 with the inception of Austin FC into Major League Soccer. Additionally, the City has confirmed and approved the Orange Line for the new metro rail that will be passing just two blocks from the Property. The Project is set to complete in 2027 and this planned metro line will provide commuters with convenient access to the Tech Ridge and Downtown Austin.
Submarket Overview
Lotus Village is located in the North Austin submarket with convenient access to the entire Austin MSA via I-35 less than a mile to the east, and both Highway 183 and the Mopac Expressway 2 miles to the west. Additionally, Lotus Village is located 3 miles east of The Domain – the master-planned retail and employment hub comprising over 300 acres which has been dubbed Austin’s second downtown. The Domain has offices leased to large tech employers such as Amazon, VRBO, and Facebook and is adjacent to over 130 shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The Property lays just 2 miles south of the Tech Ridge Center which is home to major employers such as Dell Technologies, Apple, IBM, and General Motors Innovation Center, among others. Lotus Village will continue to benefit from its location as the immediate area continues to grow, with the Austin FC soccer stadium slated to open just over 2 miles away in Spring of 2021 and Amazon’s 3.8 million square foot distribution center coming online in 2021 roughly 6 miles away.
Per Costar and Axiometrics, North Austin continues to benefit from the increasing demand for The Domain, office, retail, and apartments in the adjacent Northwest Austin Submarket. North Austin was historically limited to older vintage properties with lower rents (average vintage 1995), but investors and developers have begun to cater to the recent influx of wealthy tech professionals in the area. The average cost of homeownership in the North Austin submarket is $1,938 per month, exceeding stabilized rents by an average of $554/mo or 28.6%. Additionally, the median income to stabilized rent ratio is 4.31x. The average 10 and 20-year rent growth in the North Austin submarket are 4.1% and 2.6%, respectively.

The expected terms of the debt financing are as follows:
- Lender: LoanCore
- Term: 3+1+1
- Loan-to-Value: 76.9%
- Estimated Proceeds: $30,200,000
- Interest Type: Floating
- Spread Above One-Month LIBOR: 3.10%
- Interest-Only Period: 3+1+1
- Amortization: Interest Only
- Prepayment Terms: Yield maintenance through 18 months, no fees thereafter
- Loan Extensions: Yes with conditional approvals
There can be no assurance that a lender will provide debt on the rates and terms noted above, or at all. All rates and terms of the debt financing are subject to lender approval, including but not limited to possible increases in capital reserve requirements for funds to be held in a lender-controlled capital reserve account.
A substantial portion of the total acquisition for the Property will be paid with borrowed funds. The use of borrowed money to acquire real estate is referred to as leveraging. Leveraging increases the funds available for investment or development purposes, on the one hand, but also increases the risk of loss on the other. If the Company were unable to pay the payments on the borrowed funds (called a "default"), the lender might foreclose, and the Company could lose its investment in its property.
OREI intends to make distributions from Lotus Village Holdco, LLC as follows:
- To the Investors, pari passu, all operating cash flows to an 8.0% IRR;
- 75% / 25% (75% to Investors / 25% to Promote) of excess cash flow to a 12.0% IRR;
- 65% / 35% (65% to Investors / 35% to Promote) of excess cash flow thereafter.
OREI intends to make distributions to investors after the payment of the company's liabilities (loan payments, operating expenses, and other fees as more specifically set forth in the LLC agreements, in addition to any member loans or returns due on member loan).
Distributions are expected to start in November 2021 and are projected to continue on a quarterly basis thereafter. Distributions are at the discretion of OREI, who may decide to delay distributions for any reason, including maintenance or capital reserves.
OREI will receive a promote as indicated above, and a portion of this promote may be received by RM Adviser, LLC.
