Interstate Highway 35 West, Fort Worth's major
arterial thoroughfare, and three miles north of
the city of Alvarado. Each
property is located within about a mile of a
major highway leading into Fort Worth. Tenants
work in various professions including
blue-collar jobs, construction trades, and
clerical positions.
Condition: The properties are in fair condition.
A new owner might consider adding some
landscaping and cutting back the trees. Also,
the new owner may include some provisions for
orderly parking and basic rules for yard and
house maintenance which would improve the parks'
curb appeal.
Pricing: The property is priced at $1,480,000.
With the current pricing, total returns looking
back at 2009 are 13.9 percent. At current
occupancy and rent rates, and assuming expenses
at 2009 numbers, returns reach 17.8 percent at
list price. It is assumed a new buyer will
originate a new loan, at 6.75 percent interest
and 60 percent loan to value, amortizing over 20
years. The property has also been priced to a
1.75 debt coverage ratio, factoring $25 per site
for replacement reserves into the current
property operation expenses.
45 adjacent acres are available and will be included
for a full list offer. Raw land has been marketed
and sold for between $5,000 to $7,000 an acre in
that area. Even at fire sale pricing of the land,
applying any sale of the 45 acres to the mortgage
will significantly increase the returns associated
with the parks.
