Executive Overview
Chiafos Rental Resort is a 55-unit waterfront multifamily asset located immediately outside the entrance to Indiana Beach Amusement & Water Park in Monticello, Indiana.

Waterfront real estate
Newly constructed product
In-place income
Dock revenue expansion
Short-term rental (STR) optionality
Seller financing is available for qualified buyers.

Unit Mix (55 Total Units)
20 Two-Story 2BR / 1BA Units

The flexible layout allows investors to maintain long-term stability or transition portions of the asset to a higher-yield STR model.
Capital Improvements

Ground-up construction of 38 units
Complete renovation of 17 units
New siding, roofing, porches
New kitchens and bathrooms
Updated flooring and exterior finishes

Strong seasonal tourism traffic
Lake-based recreational demand
Limited competing waterfront rental inventory
