It's a funky time in the US real estate market. A larger dip in the US 10-year Treasury yield would help with borrowing costs, but the yield pushing back up this week over 4% might indicate stronger investor confidence. Investors might not be as interested in bonds. Multifamily investors are similarly dipping their toes back in, but many are still reeling from capital calls and foreclosures. It's anyone's guess where the 10-year goes in the next 90 days. https://lnkd.in/epQcZEvc

While there are definitely some tradeoffs, there is a wider margin of error in multifamily operations and pool of potential residents when the monthly costs of housing aren't so burdensome. "Annually, housing costs are 32% lower than the national average in the Sooner State, grocery costs are 6% lower and utility costs are 2% lower, according to the study." https://lnkd.in/ecqV836N

Cooper Street Capital is pleased to announce its latest acquisition, the Timbers Edge Apartments, in San Antonio, TX. Rates are now moving in the right direction, but new projects are just a bit more challenging to put together at the moment. CSC is excited to have navigated those challenges to pick up this 176-unit, 1980s vintage, garden style property in a strong NW sub-pocket at a favorable basis. The firm believes that with a moderate interior renovation program, the property can compete with higher performing competitors nearby. A huge thanks to Michael Koshet and his team for shaking this one loose and keeping everything on track, and to Sherry Read and her team at CenturyBank for their continued partnership.

This is awesome to see mapped out in such stark terms. OKC is rarely mentioned as a top target for real estate equity, but it has been a great market for CSC and its partners over the last year. CSC has consistently reiterated to its partners the positive dual dynamics of limited construction and population growth.
Here are the only nine U.S. metro areas with BOTH above-average population growth AND below-average apartment construction. It’s an eclectic list covering different regions of the country – and offering potential clues for where we just might first see supply/demand imbalances tilting back toward undersupply. (To be clear: There is no single silver-bullet datapoint to identify winners. This is admittedly a simplistic point-in-time look, but I think these nine pass the sniff test.) Amidst the nation’s biggest apartment building boom in a half-century, there aren’t many hidden gems these days -- especially among metro areas with >1mm people (minimum to qualify for this list). Here are the only nine markets with below-average construction and above-average population growth going into 2024: 1) There are several candidates for “biggest surprise to make this list,” and I’ll start with one of them – Houston. -- No surprise that it ranks No. 2 nationally (behind Dallas) for population growth, but it may surprise you to see Houston’s apartment construction rate (defined as units under construction as a share of total existing stock) is below the U.S. average. -- In fact, Houston's been below the U.S. average for 3+ years as some investors/developers remain sheepish on it due to a) getting burned during the mid-2010s crash in oil prices and b) property insurance premiums after several weather events. -- But could that, in turn, be shifting Houston into “underrated” market status? Indeed, on its last earnings call, Camden (apartment REIT) called Houston one of its top 2 performing markets, alongside another market on this same list – Washington, DC. 2) In a somewhat similar vein: Las Vegas keeps growing, but the scars of the GFC bust and long recovery have kept development fairly limited over the last decade, among other things. 3) On that note: DC is no surprise to find on this list and remains a steady eddy and recent outperformer. 4) West Palm Beach is a good spot and makes the cut because it’s building apartments at a slower rate than its neighbors. 5) Four of the nine are located in the Midwest. Kansas City is no surprise, and increasingly an institutional target. 6) Minneapolis isn’t a big surprise either, especially now that construction has eased. 7) More surprising might be Cincinnati growing its population (very slightly) above the U.S. average. 8) Grand Rapids might be surprising if you didn’t know it topped (barely) the 1mm mark in population to qualify for this list. But I’ve noted it before as one of the most compelling Midwest secondary metros. 9) Another secondary/tertiary market actually tops the list with the largest combined gaps in construction and population growth relative to the U.S. norms – Oklahoma City. It’s becoming less and less of a secret now that it has a pro sports team (NBA’s Thunder) plus a proposal to build the nation’s tallest building (!!!) in Downtown OKC.

This morning's (very good) inflation report is a motivator to ramp up acquisitions, particularly distressed opportunities. In operation, there is also some clarity and guidance in how to underwrite and evaluate these projects. Taking a seller's in-place rents at face value, or leaning on market rents informed from the last 12-months, may not serve as accurate guidance for where rents will be in 6-12-18 months. https://lnkd.in/gqfBsjjg

For a recent acquisition in Georgetown, our team debated the strengths of the project in balance with the risks of new supply. In the medium to long term, these continuing dynamics are exciting to see, particularly as the development pipeline slows. “Boomer-rich Georgetown has now been the No. 1 city for population growth for three years in a row, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data for cities with populations of at least 50,000.” https://lnkd.in/etg7u7tu

Thanks to @jayparsons for circulating. Some of the key insights include: "The secular trend is toward more demand, not less." "Performance has traditionally remained stable through economic cycles." "As owners come under more pressure to sell assets, we see an exciting opportunity coming to buy high-quality properties below replacement cost while achieving attractive long-term yields." https://lnkd.in/e_3VbATT

Cooper Street Capital is pleased to announce its latest acquisition of the 302 North Apartments in Georgetown, TX (Austin MSA), and the firm's second acquisition of the year. We're excited to pick up a well-maintained, late-80s vintage project, in a fast growing market. With its partners, CSC plans to expand on the stable in-place operations, and to complete a series of exterior projects to provide for the long-term use of the asset. A huge thanks to the team at Walker & Dunlop, including Forrest Bass and Spencer Roy for helping shepherding this project along, and to Alex Inman for grinding it out on the loan assumption side. And, thanks to Kyle Barnas and his team at RealtyMogul for their work getting this project across the finish! #acquisitionsrampingup #wereback #letsdosomedeals
