Investment Summary
The Colorado Springs economy has experienced massive growth in the last few years. A recent study by the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business shows Colorado Springs leading the state in employment growth; both in 2018 and heading into 2019. The study names Colorado Springs as solidly in the group of cities around the country that are outperforming the nation as a whole. Many factors have contributed to the exciting success in Colorado Springs. The city has taken steps to revitalize and attract businesses. Rapid development of industries such as cybersecurity and health care, two brand new sports stadiums, the US Olympic Museum, and new restaurants have energized the metro area, attracting young, educated new residents.
Forbes has recently ranked Colorado Springs as the #5 Most Educated City in the United States. Thirty eight percent of the population holds a bachelor’s degree or higher. Colorado Springs is home to top tier higher educational institutions and has a large number of highly trained veterans transitioning into the workforce, making it a very attractive location for companies looking to relocate or expand their presence in Colorado.
The overall goal with Lincoln Springs is to improve the property operations through a variety of renovations and cost-cutting measures that will both generate profit during the ownership period and drive appreciation of the asset for capital gains upon sale.
Some of the steps include:
✓ Replacing all roofs immediately using an existing insurance claim
✓ Professionally manage the property for economic occupancy
✓ Drive value for current and future tenants through landscaping upgrades and interior renovations
✓ Increase asking rents by an average of 7%
1. In addition to replacing the roofs we plan to replace all windows on the property. This will drive down utility costs for both the property and our residents. We also plan to update all signage throughout the property, and reconfigure the clubhouse to include a full workout facility.
2. Lincoln Springs is currently at 99.44% occupancy, which speaks to the strength of the local market, as well as the occupancy goals of the current management. Our property management partner has a long track record of effective management in Colorado Springs, and will be a vital component in achieving market rents.
3. We will immediately remediate the exterior landscaping to provide a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere for our tenants. The unit interiors will be remodeled by our on-site maintenance crew as they come available with new paint, backsplashes, and furnishings. This will both enhance the property profile, and drive maintenance costs down.
4. 2 Bedroom units are a valuable commodity in Colorado Springs, and units with 2 bathrooms are very rare. With our combination of interior and exterior renovations the property will be able to command higher rents. This rent premium is well-established in the local sub-market by comparable properties managed by our property management partner.
5. The entire parking lot will be completely redone and restriped improving the overall appearance immediately.

Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) A rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected income that the property will generate. Capitalization rate is used to estimate the investor's potential return on his or her investment. This is done by dividing the income the property will generate (after fixed costs and variable costs) by the total value of the property.
▴When acquiring income property, the higher the capitalization rate (“Cap Rate”), the better
▴When selling income property, the lower the Cap Rate the better.
▴A higher cap rate implies a lower price, a lower cap rate implies a higher price
▴Cash Flow Cash generated from the operations of a company, generally defined as revenues less all operating expenses.
▴
Cash-on-Cash A rate of return often used in real estate transactions. The calculation determines the cash income on the cash invested.
▴Calculated: Annual Dollar Income Return / Total Equity Invested = Cash on Cash
▴Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) It is the multiples of cash flow available to meet annual interest and principal payments on debt. This ratio should ideally be over 1. That would mean the property is generating enough income to pay its debt obligations.
▴Return on Equity (ROE) – The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity
▴
Investor Average Annual Return, excluding disposition The average return per year during the investment hold.
▴Investor Average Annual Return, including disposition The average return per year including profits from disposition This calculation does not include the return of invested capital.
▴Internal Rate of Return (IRR) The rate of return that would make the present value of future cash flows plus the final market value of an investment opportunity equal the current market price of the investment or opportunity. The higher a project's internal rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake the project.
▴Return on Equity (ROE) The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity.
▴ROE is expressed as a percentage and calculated as: Return on Equity = Net Income/Shareholder's Equity
