Proven Value-Add via Affordable Housing Programs – 34% Implemented!

Mark VII offers 34% of its units leased to residents through the START program, a local voucher-based initiative designed to place qualified tenants. The program’s rigorous screening process can take over a year for residents to be approved, ensuring a reliable tenant pool. With rent 100% guaranteed, the program not only minimizes delinquency but also helps achieve high rent levels, providing a consistent and dependable income stream for property owners.

Significant Utility Reimbursement Upside

The START program offers valuable support by funding electric reimbursements for each resident placed through the program. 23 residents currently enrolled pay at least $175 per unit per month for electric reimbursements, generating 100% guaranteed, government-funded revenue. Once the property is fully stabilized, this will result in over $142,000 in annual income for electric reimbursement alone. Additionally, most residents pay a $35 water and sewer fee, which presents an opportunity to easily extend this charge to the remaining units, further enhancing revenue.

Value-Add via Low-Flow Utility Savings

Investing approximately $48,000 in low-flow fixtures at the property is projected to reduce water, sewer, and electric expenses by $25,505 annually, cutting overall utility costs by 30.9%. With a payback period of less than two years, this investment generates an attractive unlevered ROI on capital. Implementation is quick and seamless, with no impact on residents, and it also brings positive environmental benefits.
