Robert Lutein

Founder
Balance Partners Properties

Rob began his career in the advertising and video production industry in 1990. He worked for major TV networks and advertising agencies until in 2003, when he started his own advertising and post-production company, which thrived through the financial recession of 2008-2009 and gave him the financial ability to take on what he saw as the next pillar of wealth building for him and his family, real estate. "

Together with his wife, Michelle, his first multifamily acquisition in 2006 came in the form of workforce housing apartment buildings (16 units) in Fayetteville, NC in 2006. He also successfully navigated a complex fractional ownership transaction involving the purchase and sales of a series of townhomes outside of Atlanta in 2016 to a large private real estate group/family office, that also purchased the apartment complex (256 units) adjacent to the townhome property. Due to this transaction, Rob began a relationship of working with this private investor as an Acquisitions Consultant for 2 years underwriting and negotiating properties on their behalf. Rob also has strong experience with single family home redevelopment, construction, and private money lending."

After 17 years, Rob has officially transitioned to focus solely on multifamily real estate investing. Rob having increased and then sold private holdings in Fayetteville, participated in syndications of 126 units in Greensboro, NC, 104 units in Chesapeake, VA, 92 units in Hampton, VA, and 246 units in Augusta, GA.

Rob is passionate about finding, underwriting and negotiating multifamily deals and is excited to come together with partners that share his drive and mindset. He loves that fact that he can now share the fruits of his labor with family, friends and fellow investors who believe in the idea that providing and maintaining safe homes and communities is a win-win for all."

 PROPERTY PROFILE

RENTAL COMPS

We are $400-$700/month below avg market rent for one-bedroom and two-bedroom options. Although, these are not the true comparables since some of the examples are Class-A apartments; however, this still illustrates how Parkview Apartments’ has an amazing location with incredibly low rent.

Our 3-year avg rent target post-renovation is $1466 with $1570 avg target rent in the 4th year, which is still quite conservative even when compared to the current market. These projections will give us a much needed buffer zone just in the case of any unforeseen circumstances, while giving us a healthy margin to outperform our projected numbers should the market normalize.

BUSINESS PLAN

Immediately upon taking ownership, we will begin moving away from heavily relying on the current boiler system by upgrading the HVAC from ground up through increasing power supply from Frederick County, upgrading electrical wiring systems throughout the buildings, and installing a mini-split system in each unit so all units are separately metered.

In conjunction with the electrical upgrade, we will increase rents by $250-$300/unit immediately and systematically create more vacant units to allow us to carry out a full renovation in an efficient manner. We will target renting units at $1400-$1500 post-renovation, which will still place us well below the market rent in 3-4 year time. This price point will make us a very attractive option for all renters in any given market.

We will continue the current subdivision process which has been started by the current owners. We project the subdivision process will be finalized in 18-24 months into our ownership, and then we will wait for the best time to sell the lots to local developers. We believe our target sale price of these lots is very conservative considering they are the last empty lots adjacent to Baker Park.

Our plan is to return all investor capitals plus profit within first 36-48 months of ownership through refinancing for a long-term hold. We will continue to receive passive income quarterly as we continue to own this property indefinitely… until potential buyers offer us a purchase price that we can’t refuse.

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 MARKET REVIEW

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 How and when will distributions be made?

We will pay distributions quarterly, in 13th month following the closing. Payments will only be made via ACH direct deposit to the bank account that you provide to us upon committing your investment.

When is the first distribution?

The 6% preferred return distribution will not start until 13th month of ownership, paid at the 1st quarter of the 2nd year. This gives management an opportunity to settle in, assess the operations, ensure the property is cash flowing, and pay investors with the operating cash flow.

Is the General Partnership team investing any of their own money?

Yes. The GP team is investing close to $1,000,000 of their own funds into this deal.

Will you be doing a cost segregation study that includes bonus depreciation?

Yes, we will be hiring Engineered Tax Services to perform a cost segregation study to maximize the depreciation and bonus depreciation (assuming current tax laws remain in place) for the 2023/2024 tax year AFTER the majority of exterior and interior renovation has been completed. Consult your CPA on how this could affect your taxes.

Why is there a range given on the total projected returns?

We estimate the profits at sale based on a prediction of the market cap rate at that time of refinancing, in this case, 36-48 months from now.  Rather than guess with a single number, we like to show a wider range of possible cap rates, above and below the current, to capture what we believe to be a more accurate display of the possible returns.  Think of it as a best-case and worst-case scenario, although returns could still fall outside of these predictions.

Can I invest less than $50,000?

At this point in time, we are NOT accepting investment amounts less than $50,000.

What is the most amount of money I can invest in this deal?

The maximum investment amount for this deal is $500,000.

 IMPORTANT DATES

 REAL ESTATE TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate): A rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected income that the property will generate. Capitalization rate is used to estimate the investor's potential return on his or her investment. This is done by dividing the income the property will generate (after fixed costs and variable costs) by the total value of the property.

When acquiring income property, the higher the capitalization rate (“Cap Rate”), the better.  When selling income property, the lower the Cap Rate the better.

A higher cap rate implies a lower price, a lower cap rate implies a higher price.

Cash Flow: Cash generated from the operations of a company, generally defined as revenues less all operating expenses.

Cash-on-Cash (COC): A rate of return often used in real estate transactions. The calculation determines the cash income on the cash invested.

Calculation: Annual Dollar Income Return / Total Equity Invested = Cash-on-Cash.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): It is the multiples of cash flow available to meet annual interest and principal payments on debt. This ratio should ideally be over 1.

Return on Equity (ROE): The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity.

Average Annual Return (AAR) excluding disposition:  The average return per year during the investment hold.

Investor Average Annual Return, including disposition:  The average return per year including profits from disposition. This calculation does not include the return of invested capital.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR): The rate of return that would make the present value of future cash flows plus the final market value of an investment opportunity equal the current market price of the investment or opportunity. The higher a project's internal rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake the project.
