Value-Add Thesis

Why Albany?

Albany isn't glamorous — that's exactly why it's a scale play. 232 units at $77K/door is well below replacement cost. The current operator has let collections and occupancy drift; the workout is occupancy optimization plus rent normalization across 232 doors. Even modest per-unit improvements compound at scale: 50 units fixed per quarter means the NOI lift is front-loaded.

⚠️ Data Gap Note

The listing cap rate was blurred on LoopNet. Implied cap rate of ~5.5% based on $77.6K/door pricing in the Southeast B-class context. Broker outreach to confirm actual NOI and cap rate is recommended before making an offer. The $348K NOI lift math holds regardless — the scale absorbs input variance.
