89 East Apartments FAQ
Key questions and answers about the 89 East Apartments investment opportunity, including property details, projected returns, financing, underwriting, and investor structure.
What is 89 East Apartments?
89 East Apartments is a 240-unit, 1997-vintage garden-style multifamily community located at 7218 S 89th East Ave in the South Tulsa submarket of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The property sits on approximately 9.4 acres across 10 three-story residential buildings with a centralized leasing office and features an average unit size of 919 square feet. HLC Equity is acquiring the property at a purchase price of $79K - $89K per unit pursuant to various performance hurdles. This pricing represents up to a 50% discount to peak-cycle comparable sales in the submarket.
What are the targeted returns for this investment?
The investment targets a 17%+ Net LP IRR, a 2.5x+ equity multiple, and 10%+ cash-on-cash returns over a seven-year hold period, with a 6.5%+ Year-1 cap rate. All projected LP returns are net of sponsor fees. These are projections based on underwriting assumptions and are not guaranteed.
What is the unit mix at 89 East Apartments?
The property offers three floor plan types across 240 total units:
- 72 one-bedroom, one-bathroom units, ranging from 50% AMI-restricted to market-rate.
- 144 two-bedroom, two-bathroom units.
- 24 three-bedroom, three-bathroom units.
Of the total, 122 units are market-rate, 94 are restricted at 60% AMI, and 24 are restricted at 50% AMI. Partial rent restrictions expire in January 2038, approximately four years beyond the projected sale date, preserving meaningful upside for future rent growth and exit cap rate positioning.
What is the minimum investment amount?
The offering accommodates LP investors at multiple commitment levels. The deal deck illustrates projected returns at $250,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 equity investment tiers. Prospective investors should contact HLC Equity's investor relations team at ir@hlcequity.com for minimum investment requirements and to obtain the formal Offering Documents.
Is this a passive investment?
Yes. LP investors participate as limited partners and have no day-to-day management responsibilities. HLC Equity serves as the General Partner and handles all acquisition, asset management, capital improvement, leasing oversight, and disposition activities on behalf of investors. This is a passive real estate private equity investment structure.
Can I invest through an LLC, LP, Trust, or IRA?
Yes. HLC Equity accommodates investments through various entity structures including LLCs, LPs, Trusts, and self-directed IRAs. Investors should consult with their legal and tax advisors regarding the most appropriate structure for their individual circumstances and confirm eligibility requirements directly with HLC Equity's investor relations team.
When I invest with HLC Equity, do I own the actual real estate?
Yes. As an LP investor, you hold a direct ownership interest in the entity that acquires the property. This means you benefit from real estate ownership, including potential cash flow distributions, appreciation, and tax benefits, without the responsibilities of active management. Your economic interest is proportionate to your equity contribution relative to the total LP equity raised.
How will I know how my investment is doing?
HLC Equity provides investors with in-depth and frequent communications that offer a clear ongoing picture of property performance. Investors receive regular reporting on financials, occupancy, capital improvements, and overall asset progress. Distributions are structured on a semi-annual basis throughout the seven-year hold period.
Do you guarantee a specific investment return?
No. Projected returns are forward-looking estimates based on underwriting assumptions, not guarantees. HLC Equity's model stress-tests projections by underwriting operating expenses more than 30% above comparable properties in the market, rents approximately 20% below nearby rent comps, and applying a conservative terminal cap rate.
While the return profile is supported by durable cash flow and a strong going-in basis, all real estate investments carry risk. Investors should review the full Offering Documents, including risk factors, before committing capital.
Does HLC Equity work with Wealth Managers and Family Offices?
Yes. HLC Equity's investor community includes family offices, wealth management firms, private equity firms, and high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The firm was founded within a family office and has built its co-investment platform to serve institutional-quality investors seeking thoughtfully structured, high-quality real estate opportunities. For advisor access and white-glove onboarding, contact ir@hlcequity.com.
What is the capital structure for this deal?
The capital structure includes the acquisition of 89 East Apartments with an accretive assumable HUD loan and LP equity raised from investors. The assumable loan provides long-duration fixed-rate financing, while LP equity is structured to participate in preferred return, cash flow, and potential upside through the investment waterfall.
Investors should review the formal Offering Documents for the full capital stack, investor rights, sponsor economics, risks, and transaction terms.
What are the key terms of the assumable loan?
The property benefits from an accretive, assumable HUD loan with a 2.26% fixed interest rate, 0.25% Mortgage Insurance Premium, or MIP, approximately 70% loan-to-purchase-price, and approximately 30 years of remaining loan term.
The loan can be paid off early without a prepayment penalty after Year-5 of the investment hold period. This below-market, long-duration fixed-rate debt provides significant downside protection and supports strong cash-on-cash returns from day 1.
What is the cash flow distribution waterfall?
Net cash flow is distributed through a three-tier waterfall:
- Tier 1: Provides a 7% preferred return to LP investors.
- Tier 2: Distributes cash above the preferred return 70% to LPs and 30% to the GP.
- Tier 3: Once LP investors achieve a 16% IRR, remaining profits are split 50/50 between LPs and the GP.
Projected LP returns are net of all sponsor fees, including a 1% acquisition fee, 1% disposition fee, 0.25% asset management fee on total equity, and a 10% construction management fee on total CapEx.
How conservative is the underwriting?
The underwriting for 89 East is intentionally conservative across multiple dimensions. Organic market rent growth is modeled at 0% in Year 1 and 3% per annum thereafter, below the actual rent gap, which shows 89 East currently leasing approximately 20% below comparable properties.
Operating expenses are underwritten well above the average of six comparable properties in the local market. Economic vacancy is projected at 10.25% in Year 1, tapering to approximately 7.52% at stabilization, compared to the 6.5% to 7% industry standard for stabilized assets. The terminal cap rate assumption is conservative to stress-test the exit.
How does the rent upside work?
The business plan does not rely on aggressive, immediate rent increases. Instead, HLC plans to gradually burn off the current loss-to-lease over the seven-year hold as units turn.
Based on rent comps, 89 East's market-rate one-bedrooms average $147 below comparable properties, two-bedrooms trail by approximately $196, and three-bedrooms are approximately $499 below peers, with similar vintage, condition, and submarket positioning. Interior unit renovations on market-rate units will support incremental rent premiums over time.
What is the CapEx plan?
Approximately $2.7 million in capital expenditures is budgeted for the investment. Because the property has an institutional chain of ownership, deferred maintenance is limited and the vast majority of CapEx dollars can be directed toward interior unit renovations to command rent premiums on the 122 market-rate units.
This targeted approach allows HLC to drive net rental income growth with a focused spend rather than spreading capital exclusively across building systems or major structural work.

Canalside Apartments FAQ
Key questions and answers about the market, underwriting, value-add strategy, and investment structure.
How is Augusta different from Atlanta, where many multifamily deals have struggled?
- Atlanta’s Challenges: Elevated bad debt, lengthy eviction timelines, and fraud in tenant applications have hurt returns in certain Atlanta submarkets.
- Augusta’s Strengths: Canalside serves Augusta’s Downtown Medical District, which includes 27,000+ healthcare workers.
- Tenant Profile: Approximately 71% of residents are medical professionals and students, creating a stronger and more reliable resident base.
- Collections: Canalside’s T-12 bad debt is 0%.
- Market Structure: Augusta has meaningful barriers to new multifamily development and limited new supply pressure.
- Culture of Payment: Healthcare tenants and students often prioritize credit and housing stability.
How are you projecting cap rate expansion from 5.7% in-place to 6.9% in Year 1?
- Rent Growth Headroom: Current rents trail nearby Class A comps. Recent leases signed averaged positive trade-outs while maintaining strong occupancy.
- Ancillary Income: A bulk internet and cable contract is expected to add additional net income per unit.
- Expense Stabilization: Prior ownership outsourced maintenance and carried higher technician costs. HLC underwrote opportunities to bring expenses more in line with market.
How do you account for the tax abatement step-down?
- The property benefits from a step-down tax abatement through Year 5, providing near-term savings.
- Even when adjusting for fully loaded taxes post-abatement, Canalside remains attractive at approximately $153K per unit for 2015-vintage Class A product.
- Returns are not dependent on the abatement. They are balanced across cash flow, modest value-add, and a conservative exit.
What is the value-add story here?
- Interior Renovations: 54 lower-tier units are expected to be upgraded with LVT flooring, granite, backsplash, fixtures, ceiling fans, stackable washer and dryer, and smart technology packages.
- Ancillary Income: Bulk internet and cable implementation, phased in with resident adoption.
- Expense Reductions: Transition from outsourced maintenance to in-house certified staff.
- Optional Upside: Explore leasing approximately 100 underutilized parking spaces to the hospital system. This upside is not currently underwritten.
What are the core underwriting assumptions?
- Vacancy: 5% physical vacancy, conservative relative to current occupancy.
- Rent Growth: 3% annual organic rent growth from Year 2 onward.
- Expense Growth: 3% annually.
- Bad Debt: 0% assumed in Year 1, moving to a conservative range thereafter.
What is the downside protection here?
- Mission-Critical Location: Only Class A community directly adjacent to Augusta’s Medical District.
- Resident Stability: Healthcare-driven tenant base provides demand support.
- Collections Strength: T-12 bad debt at 0%.
- Purchase Basis: Acquired below estimated replacement cost.
- Insurance Profile: Five-year loss runs show zero insurance claims.
- Supply and Demand Imbalance: Development barriers and high construction costs limit new supply in Augusta CBD.
- Prudent Financing: Long-term, fixed-rate agency financing.
How do you justify rent growth assumptions if rents already appear near market?
- In-place rents are still at a discount to comps.
- Recent leasing supports rent growth potential while maintaining strong occupancy.
- Renovated units and technology packages are expected to support additional premiums.
- Nearby comparable assets support additional price headroom.
How resilient is tenant demand in Augusta?
- Healthcare Anchor: Augusta’s Medical District is a major employment driver.
- Defense and Cybersecurity: Fort Eisenhower and NSA Augusta support regional demand.
- University Presence: Medical College of Georgia and Augusta University support stable student and professional housing demand.
- Tenant Profile: Healthcare professionals and students can support reliable collections, strong credit, and lower turnover.
What about supply risk in Augusta?
- Moratorium: Multifamily development restrictions in the broader market help limit future pipeline.
- Economics: At today’s construction costs, new development is difficult to justify.
- Result: Canalside’s 2015-vintage Class A product at approximately $153K per unit faces limited competitive new supply pressure in the CBD.
What exactly is included in the purchase price and capitalization?
- Purchase Price: $16.2M, or approximately $152,830 per unit.
- CapEx Budget: $984K, or approximately $9,286 per unit.
- Financing Costs: $316K, including rate buydown.
- Closing Costs and Fees: $648K.
- Total Equity Requirement: $7.6M.
What are the major risks, and how are they mitigated?
- Market Misperception: Augusta may be unfairly lumped in with Atlanta risk. Mitigation includes proven collection history and different local market dynamics.
- Healthcare Concentration: Demand is tied to the medical district. Mitigation includes long-term expansions and multiple institutions, including hospital systems and a university presence.
- Exit Cap Rate Risk: Mitigated by purchase basis below estimated replacement cost and NOI growth levers.
- Execution Risk: The value-add program is modest and not a heavy-lift repositioning.
