Davenport, FL This property was a severely “broken” condominium project with owner-occupants in only 3 units out of 240.  We were able to purchase over 80% of the units at favorable prices and took over the condominium board and instituted a property-wide common area upgrade. We also renovated 48 units and achieved a 15%+ return on renovation costs. The property was sold in June 2017 and generated an IRR of 27% to investors.

Palatine, IL In an extremely complicated transaction, we purchased the defaulted second mortgage on a failed condo conversion of 719 units.  Using that position as leverage, we were able to gain control of the manager of the entity that owned 64% of the units.  We then purchased enough units to obtain ownership rights to 75%+ of the units which allowed us to “deconvert” the property, subject to a “Section 15” deconversion of the IL Condo Act.

Crystal Lake, IL In April 2018, we purchased 209 condominium units out of 235 total units (89%).  By June 2018 we gained ownership of the remaining 26 units and continue our program of common area improvements, including repairing or upgrading the parking lot, landscaping and certain common areas.
