Evansville, IN Portfolio – A Multi-Property Win Through Partnership
Earlier this year, I partnered as a lender on a portfolio of rental properties in Evansville, IN. Unlike a single-family flip, this was a larger, more complex project that required coordinating across multiple properties, partners, and strategies.
The Numbers (high-level):
-
Portfolio: Multi-property rental package
-
Strategy: Stabilization and repositioning for long-term holds
-
My Role: Funding + structuring support for the partnership
Why This Deal Stood Out
I’ve done smaller, single-family flips before, but this was my first time stepping into a portfolio-level deal. It stretched me beyond just writing a check — I had to think about how financing, cash flow, and title work across multiple properties interact.
Challenges & Lessons Learned (as the funding partner):
-
Title coordination: Watching the operators juggle multiple closings at once gave me an appreciation for how complex portfolios can be compared to single deals.
-
Cash flow management: I saw firsthand how critical it is to plan rehab draws carefully when several properties are in motion at the same time.
-
Exit flexibility: From the lender’s seat, I realized how valuable it is when operators have multiple exit strategies (hold, refinance, sell individually). It gave me more confidence in the deal overall.
The Outcome
The portfolio is now stabilized and held as long-term rentals. The operators are focused on improving cash flow and positioning for future refinancing opportunities. From my perspective as the funding partner, this deal reinforced the value of building equity and long-term wealth, rather than chasing only short-term gains.
