The Project is Pleasant Oaks Limited Partnership. The project consist of:

1.) Buying 3-5 acres of land.

2.) Develop the land. (we are in negoitations now to buy land from a developer and he develop the land at a reduced rate)

3.) Build 18 4-plex homes (72 total residencies).

This will be built in a gated community with walking trails, a commons area, a small playground, etc. We want our community to be family friendly. Our program will be built in Bowling Green, KY, the fastest growing city in Kentucky. Similar projects in Bowling Green are being leased before the project is even completed. This will be a true partnership. Every investor will have contact info for each other, a vote on any major decision, etc. We want to be extremely transparent with our partners. When our partners receive a check it will be accompanied with bank statements showing the partners the revenue for each month. Pleasant Oak Properties will keep 20%, and the investors will own 80%. The 20% Pleasant Oak Properties keeps will cover managing the property, insurance on the property, and upkeep of the property. This is why we call the project "Investor Friendly". Investors get 80% and are not billed for operations. The only exception to this is major situations. For example, our homes will be mostly Hardie and may need to be painted once every 5-6 years to keep the property looking nice. We will have a conference call with all partners to discuss and have a vote. If the partners vote to paint the homes the investors will pay 80% and Pleasant Oak Properties will pay 20%. You will not be billed. We will use the money from that months income to complete the job, and the investors will be paid proportionally (based on the % they own) of whats left over.

We are offering 50 units at $160,000 a unit. Our units will be sold in quarters, halves, or full units. Minimum investment is $40,000. We have a +/- 10% clause in our contract. Basically if we go over our budget you would be responsible for the overage (no more than 10% and you will have a copy of every invoice). If we are under budget you will be refunded the difference based on the % you own.

    Welcome to bigger pockets @Jamie Vickery!  I have a few questions regarding this offering:  

    • Are investors required to be accredited?
    • What happens if all the units aren't sold?
    • Have you been successful with this type of venture before, or is this the first time around.
    • What are the major risks?
    • Why 4-plexes?

    Hey Joshua,

    1.) We can have up to 35 Non-Accredited investors.

    2.) We should not have an issue selling the 50 units. With my other company (Vickery-Young & Associates) we deal with investors everyday. We have a huge PR company in California currently under contract qualifying investors. We are getting 8-12 new qualified investors a day to which most are very interested. This is obviously a big project with lot of time to fully raise the capital. We plan to build in phases as money comes in. We are meeting with a developer Thursday to discuss land and development on Russellville road. We have 3-4 properties available now that would fit what we need. I would like to stay in the South Warren school district.

    3.) This is our first project like this. Thomas and Stephanie Young (My parents and Partners) run a construction crew in Bowling Green and have 22 year experience.

    4.) Risk is low. We will carry Builders insurance and Homeowners insurance to protect our investment. Right now our financial projections show 9.3%-11% return annually for the investors.  

    5.) Great question. We looked at several types of Multi-Family units and decided 4-plex was the best route overall. We want a good ROI for investors. Townhomes or Duplexes would cost more to build and have less total units overall. We did not want to build 3-4 stories either due to code in Warren County would require a sprinkler system that would cost a lot more initially and would get less monthly rent in the end. We decided 4-plex would be cost effective and would get more a month vs other options. The 4-plex we went with is very nice and around 1366 square foot a unit plus the garage. Based on the current economy in Bowling Green we believe we can easily get $1350-$1400 a month. This will be completely gated with commons area, basketball court, small playground, etc. We want a very nice upscale community.

    I hope this answers your questions. If you have any additional questions feel free to write me back and/or call me. If you live in Bowling Green we could meet as well. I live in Bowling Green, but my office is in Glasgow.
