Upgrades & Capital Reallocation

Over the past two quarters, we’ve completed a series of enhancements and repositioning efforts to increase both rental income and asset value.

  • Basement Buildouts Completed (Q1 2025): Three recently acquired homes were upgraded with finished basements, converting into 4+bed / 3 bath layouts.
  • Landscaping & Sprinkler Installations (Q2 2025): Curb appeal and long-term durability have been enhanced across the 3 new properties.
  • Leasing: The 3 new properties are leased out in a positive cash flow position.


These improvements were funded by:

  • The sale of our Rigby duplex (Purchased: $172,000 in November 2021 → Sold: $250,000 in June 2025)
  • The strategic sale of the Menan land (Q4 2024), which was a non-performing, non-cash-flow asset


Why These Sales?

We sold Rigby to capture short-term profits and reposition the equity into assets with higher long-term appreciation and better cash flow. Similarly, Menan’s land equity was reallocated into actively performing rental properties that now contribute both income and equity growth.

What's Next

  • Asset Review: We are currently evaluating portfolio performance and may list a condo in Pocatello that no longer aligns with fund goals.
  • Refinancing Opportunities: We’re assessing refinancing options—starting with Mill Road Townhomes and Boulevard—to lower costs and create new capital for continued expansion.


In Summary

Our focus remains clear: increase the earning power of fund assets, maintain full occupancy, and position the fund for long-term growth. We appreciate your continued trust and look forward to updating you again soon.
