Summary:
The Multifamily Group is pleased to present the exclusive investment opportunity of Willow Park Apartments, an all-bills-paid property in Abilene, Texas. Built in 1973, this property features 41 units with an average size of 811 square feet, offering a mix of one and two-bedroom floorplans. Notably, 75% of the units (31) are two-bedrooms. The property is currently 76% occupied due to a family renting 4 units recently moving out. Historically the property has only seen a ~10% vacancy rate, so this can easily be improved. The submarket has a strong 93% occupancy rate (CoStar). With rents currently $85 below market value, there is potential for an immediate revenue increase of $3,485 per month, equating to an annual boost of $41,820.
