Sterling Hills Apartments – stabilized acquisition and reposition

Acquired July 2019

118 single story 2 bedroom rental homes

Indiana, PA

Opportunity

The property had been owned and managed by a local family who was the original developer and had become complacent with revenue.  The property had no marketing budget or on-line web presence.  The unit rents were severely under market as they are essentially single family patio homes catering to retirees and empty nesters, which make up the largest demand drivers in the market.
