Overview
- Updated On:
- March 24, 2022
Update Mar. 24 2022:
- Lower Price Option: This building is near completion, and we believe one completed Or near completed builder will significantly increase price! So securing a lower price is still an option!
- It is in the buyer’s best interest to get under contract ASAP, so we can start activating the pre-rental plan and start building a tenants waiting list, so we can have tenants ready as soon as building closes.
- Builder’s update: mainly setback was related to the underground utility line that created a significant delay. It is now on track to be addressed. As a result, some other tasks could not have been done, such as putting asphalt.
- Delays are also caused by issues w/ material’s supply-chain delays, labor shortage, and labor sickness.
- Target completion is May-June 2022.
- Should be ready in 2-3 months.
- Check the details about group-purchase.
About this opportunity
- 2021 built – the building should be completed
Feb. 2022May/June 2022 (within 2-3 months).- Simply Do It CEO, Dani Beit-Or, visited the site and the building during Oct. 2021 – site visit videos below.
- Secondary site visit by SDI‘s local team was done on Jan. 19 2022.
- The building has 5 residential units on top and 3 commercial spaces on the lower level.
- Accessing the residential and the commercial are on opposite sides of the building, so they don’t “interfere” with each other.
- This is a commercial building and will require a commercial loan – we have terms from one lender listed below.
- The buyer is welcome to use his or her choice of lender.
- As it sits, the property is approximately 3 acres of mixed-use, with the potential to add 2 more buildings similar to the current one.
- The total Purchase Price with all the ground is $1,777,000.
- It may be possible to purchase the building and its immediate area (lot) without the entire 3 acres and to get A price reduction, See photos below (contingent on city approval of split). The estimated reduced price is $1,627,000.
- Cashflow comparable: this property has the potential of generating ~2x the cash flow compared to our typical SFH investment.
Unique opportunity fee: in addition to your regular transaction fee (if you are not sure what they are let us know), this opportunity carries an additional Purchase Fee to Simply Do It $9,500 at closing – paid directly to Simply Do It after you close.

Units and Rents

Level | Unit | Spec | Projected Rent |

Total Monthly | $13,500 | ||
Total Yearly | $162,000 |
*Pre-leased at $1900/mo.
Leasing Plan
- Since occupying 5 residential units and 2 offices (1 is already leased) may take some time, we have factored in 4 months of expenses ($10,000 x 4) into the costs of the building as a way to mitigate the vacancy.
- Simply Do It already spoke to its local property management co. about ways to start pre-leasing these units before closing (before the building is even completed). There are a few ways how to accomplish this and we are working with the local teams to put the best plan in place. The goal is either to have tenants move in before a buyer even closes OR have tenants ready to move in as soon as closing takes place.
- Note: the building must receive an occupancy permit before any tenant can move in.

- Are you still on track to finish by the end of the year?
- Builder: “To be safe I’d like to say February 2022. With Thanksgiving and Christmas in the near future, along with the new year, our trades and suppliers seem to always slow down so I’d feel more comfortable allowing some extra time.”
- Do you have a market rental research you can share w/ us?
- Builder: “I can share the lease in place for one of the units as well as pull some other information. May take a little time to compile, but the data is out there that we can help get.”

- Builder: “Yes we can make the intro”
- Since this is property is not ready yet, when do I start making payment?
- At offer acceptance, you will need to send a deposit or earnest money. The next time funds are needed is when closing takes place.
