Final Takeaways
This property was purchased on 2024-11-20, and we already have the numbers.
For value-add properties, repairs can often be the logistical nightmare. For us at Mutual Trust Management Advisors, LP, this is not the case and our projects are always on point.
For this particular property, our construction team especially outdid themselves. The final CapEx came to about $36,000, much less than the originally assigned $45,000. The Team was able to complete the rehab in February, and the property was rented for $1,150, very close to the originally underwritten rent target of $1,200, on May 1, 2025.
Zillow, in September 2025, showed this property valued at a Zestimate of $132,400. Zillow’s Zestimates are automated and should be treated as directional rather than definitive. When the reported purchase price is significantly below market yet the Zestimate is nearly double that amount, it suggests the purchase price was priced well below typical neighborhood sales — often a sign of either a great acquisition price or strong neighborhood demand, or both.
