## The Challenge

A tired owner with 30 years of deferred maintenance. Rents stuck at $800/month in a market demanding $1,200+. Rotting plumbing, failing electrical, and a property management company that had given up.

### 30 Years of Neglect

Rotting plumbing throughout, original 1970s infrastructure.

### Previous Management

Owner managed the property himself but struggled with the scale.

### High Complexity

Managing many vendors: HVAC, GC, Permits, Plumber, 24 tenants, strict schedule planning.

### $50K Emergency

Unexpected electrical meter replacement required.

### Asset Valuation Growth

## The Treatment Plan

Our systematic approach to transforming this distressed asset.

Month 1-2

### Acquisition & Assessment

Month 3-4

### Financing Secured

### Phase 1 Renovations

### Unit Renovations

### Re-Tenanting

### Stabilization & Refinance

Property stabilized at 95%+ occupancy. Refinanced to pull out equity.
