Post: Cash Cow Investment properties in New Orleans

I have two investment properties available in the New Orleans area:

One is a package of 14 fourplexes (56 units). 12 of the 14 are on the same street and the other 2 are very near by. They are located in Terrytown, LA which is in the Westbank in New Orleans, about 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans. Each building is about 5500sf and grosses about $3800 per month ($53,200 per month total) for an annual gross revenue of $638,400. The asking price for the package is $3,000,000. There is no owner financing available and they must be sold as a package.

The other is comprised of 4 buildings... two apartment buildings that each have a separate laundry building with coin operated laundry machines. One building has 26 units and the other has 51 units for a total of 77 units. They are located directly across the street from one another in Jefferson, LA which is also about 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans. This one grosses about $540,000 per year total. The asking price on this one is also $3,000,000.

I have more information available on each property. Contact me for more details.

77 unit deal in Jefferson - Asking price $3M

Building #1 - 26 units

4 - 1 bed flats - approx 705sf each - avg rent $560

18 - 1 bed townhouse - approx 705sf each - avg rent $555

4 - 2 bed flats - approx 880sf each - avg rent $650

Estimated monthly total revenue - $14,830

Building #2 - 51 units

13 - 1 bed flats - approx 705sf each - avg rent $560

26 - 1 bed townhouse - approx 705sf each - avg rent $555

8 - 2 bed townhouse - approx 960sf each - avg rent $675

4 - 2 bed flats - approx 880sf each - avg rent $650

Estimated monthly total revenue - $29,710

Each building has a separate laundry facility/building also that take in about $971 per month, but the sellers use a third party company to maintain and service the facilities so they receive about $535 per month.

Building #1 - 6 washers and 6 dryers

Building #2 - 4 washers and 4 dryers

Total monthly revenue for 621 & 630 Central is about $44,540, plus the laundries for a total of $45,075 per month which is $540,900 per year.

The rents could definitely be higher (market rate is about $1 per square foot) and the coin operated laundries could make more as well by managing in house. At closer to market rate rents the property would generate revenue as follows:

Building #1 - 26 units

4 - 1 bed flats - approx 705sf each - at $650 = $2600 per month

18 - 1 bed townhouse - approx 705sf each - at $650 = $11,700 per month

4 - 2 bed flats - approx 880sf each - at $750 = $3,000 per month

Estimated monthly total revenue - $17,300

Building #2 - 51 units

13 - 1 bed flats - approx 705sf each - at $650 = $8,450

26 - 1 bed townhouse - approx 705sf each - at $650 = $16,900

8 - 2 bed townhouse - approx 960sf each - at $850 = $6,800

4 - 2 bed flats - approx 880sf each - at $750 = $3,000

Estimated monthly total revenue - $35,150

Total potential revenue = $52,450 per month or $629,400 per year not counting the additional revenue from the laundry facilities which would put it at about $635,820 per year using the management/maintenance company for the laundries or at about $641,052 if managed in house.

Seller is 88 years old and looking to cash out. He is not interested in any type of owner financing. Properties appraised for 2.3M in 2004. Seller believes with an average of 3% appreciation per year that would put the properties worth about $3.4 million today. Seller is asking $3M. Seller is firm on that asking price.

*Potential buyers should do their own due diligence and estimates on expenses as they would manage. Seller will accept offer conditioned upon appraisal.

Recent Expenses:

Property Taxes - $21,183.45

Property Insurance - $29,810

Liability Insurance - $11,837

No flood insurance needed

Electricity - 6 meters and office - $655/mos

Gas - for laundry facilities - $112

Water - 3 meters - $3253

14 fouplexes in Terrytown - Asking price $3M

12 on W Monterey Court and 2 on Ruby Street, located in Terrytown.

Have Excel spreadsheets of estimated 2015 expenses. Figures taken from 2015 insurance bills, 2014 water bills and rents were taken from what typical charges for apartments as follows:

3 bed room flat upstairs 825.00

3 bed room flat downstairs 875.00

3 bedroom town home 895.00

4 bed room town home 995.00

water bill total from 45.00 per month charge as leases renewed and new leases

stoves 30.00 per month as new leases others changing as lease renews

pets 20.00 per month

Flood insurance runs $471 per building for the 12 on Monterey Court and no flood needed on the 2 on Ruby Street.

All units are good shape. Only 2 vacant out of 56. 11 of 56 are section 8.

Must be sold in package.

Approx sq ft per building is 5500.

No owner financing. He is retiring and trying to cash out.

Seller says the cap is around 11%.

4 empty lots included with the 14 fouplexes.

Hello there @Joseph Pumilia. I am a local realtor and investor myself who is well connected with those in the know and in the industry. I would have to agree with @Kimberly Jones though. NOLA is not an easy city to invest in. Even someone such as myself who is out there in the trenches 24/7 can have a hard time keeping up with things here. We have a very unique real estate market here and even more unique neighborhoods that change drastically from block to block. In addition, things are changing in certain areas rather rapidly and depending on who you talk to some areas are good and some are not. If you would like to discuss more, send me a PM and we can arrange a time to chat on the phone. Take care.

I have a client that needs financing for a hotel in New Orleans. It seems most banks are not willing to lend on hotels. The client would be rehabbing and operating the hotel, then selling down the road. Any suggestions on where he might obtain financing?
