» Value-add interior upside with clear renovation runway. Only 5 of 44 units
have received comprehensive renovations, with an additional 11 partially
renovated creating a defined path to modernize the remaining units and
capture rent growth over time. The staged nature of upgrades supports a
business plan that can be executed while maintaining occupancy and cash
flow.
» Meaningful recent capital investment reduces near-term deferred
maintenance. Ownership has completed substantial exterior and infrastructure
improvements, including stair/landing replacements, deck replacements,
electrical panel replacements, extensive tree work, parking lot seal coating,
asphalt/cement repairs, and exterior painting. This provides a strong foundation
for a renovation program by prioritizing key life-safety and curb-appeal items
upfront.
» Market fundamentals supported by established demographics and qualityof-
life amenities. Salem’s median household income is approximately $75,487

improve NOI without changing the resident experience simply by tightening
operations and implementing best practices.
