Science

In 2009, Richard Dawkins invited Lawrence Krauss, an internationally-known theoretical physicist and author of The Physics of Star Trek, to talk about some big enchilada questions. What is our current picture of the universe? When did the universe begin? What came before it? How could something come from nothing? And what will happen to the universe in the future? Krauss takes us back to the foundational work of Einstein and Hubble, then moves us through important breakthroughs in modern theoretical physics, ones that have helped us unravel some of these big questions. Give Professor Krauss 53 minutes, and he’ll give you the universe … and a few jokes along the way.

Knightvest Capital, a growing real estate investment firm targeting distressed multi-family properties in Texas, today announced the acquisition of a 370-unit multi-family property in north Dallas.

The property, known as Copper Creek Apartments, is located in close proximity to the corner of Interstates 75 and 635. The investment firm acquired the property out of foreclosure and are planning significant renovations.

"We were able to acquire Copper Creek "off market" at a reasonable discount due to the depressed financial markets and lack of refinance options by the previous owner," stated David Moore, President of Knightvest Capital. "The discounted purchase price will enable us to invest the necessary capital to improve the property while offering a market leading product at competitive rental rates."

This is the fifth multifamily acquisition by Knightvest Capital in 14 months, bringing their total unit count to over 1,300. NorthMarq Capital arranged the life company financing and Joshua Partners was the lead investor.

Hello Robert,
I was referred to you by Norman Sutton. He said you are looking for real estate in Houston , TX . Here’s a $30M opportunity of 253 homes…there are 117 more homes from the same seller that could be added to this purchase.
Here’s the scoop;
This off-market cash-flowing portfolio is 100% occupancy Class-A 12-cap leased portfolio of 253 newer houses owned by the developer who built the houses. The overwhelming majority of the houses where built in 2008 and 2009. The average rents are $1,290 per house. The original asking price was $31.85M, but now the FIRM selling price is $30M. The seller has already turned down offers at $26M and $28M and do not HAVE to sell…they just want to raise some capital for another venture.
I think a great up-side value-play on this opportunity would be to turn these rentals into notes with the existing tenants at basically the same $1,290 average monthly payment the tenants are currently paying. This investment strategy would eliminate $1.69M in landlord expenses every 12 months and could thereby take this investment from the current 12-cap to an 18-cap very quickly. I know if I were a renter and I loved my (almost new) home…and if my landlord came to me and asked if I wanted to own the home for approx. the same payment (plus taxes and insurance) I’m already making each month, I would jump on it. The investor could have the tenant pay ALL costs involved in conveying each home using land contracts. The only out-of-pocket expense that the tenant would have to pay (to own their home) would be the closing costs. This investment would subsequently be gushing cash at $5,434,195 per year for approximately 14 years! (I used a sold comp selling price of $127,650 to calculate a 14-year note at 8% interest = $1,266 monthly to the very happy new homeowner.)
Please let me know if you may have an interested buyer as soon as you can…I’ve been told that the seller is getting ready to list this opportunity on the open market, so time is of the essence.
FYI, I’m not representing anyone in this opportunity, but am acting as an intermediary. The fee on this transaction will be 3% of the gross selling price…one of these points is for you if you are the buyer rep.
All the best to you Robert
