Market Analysis

Beaumont, Texas is the largest and most populated city in Southeast Texas.  The main cities in the surrounding area are Nederland, Port Arthur, Orange, Port Neches, Vidor, and Groves.  The growing population in Beaumont, Texas primarily consists of black, white, and Hispanic races.  The target market for this property is focusing on people in the low to middle income sector of the economy.  The property is best suited for families in this category looking for more cost effective housing.  The Southeast Texas region is prospering with it’s many opportunities for employment in the plant, construction, and industry fields.  This investment decision required comparing data from similar multifamily housing in the west end of Beaumont, Texas.  The data listed throughout the investment proposal demonstrates that the purchase of the Briarwood Townhome property is the most promising investment opportunity in the Southeast Texas region.  The Westpark Townhomes located near the Briarwood Townhome property can be seen as a price comparable and competition in the area.  The purchase price for the Westpark Townhomes is $550,000.  The comparable property is much smaller than the investment property.  The total square footage of the 6 Westpark Townhome units is 9,692.  The best investment property would be the Briarwood Townhomes which would be more profitable in the long run.  

Financial Analysis

The company has constructed a 10-year discounted cash flow for the property to assess the internal rate of return and net present value the investment will have at the end of the 10-year holding period.  The assumed annual rental growth rate and annual expense growth rates are 3% and 2%. The annual vacancy and collection loss is 2%. The company set the required rate of return (discount rate) for the investment at 10%.  The internal rate of return (IRR) for the unleveraged cash flow and leveraged cash flow were 10.77% and 25.14%.  The data shows on the pro forma most likely case that the investors’ required rate of return on the investment would be reached at the end of the 10 years.  The net present value (NPV) for the unleveraged and leveraged cash flow shows that the property will continue to be profitable and hold value through the 10-year holding period.  The acquisition of the property by K Still Investments will likely take place given the property is sold for 5% lower than the original asking price.  The likelihood of this occurring is high considering the small number of investors in the area.
