Vetter and Andrew Mays, vice presidents investments in the Atlanta
office of Marcus & Millichap, represented the seller, a prominent national
real estate company based in Yakima, Wash. that currently owns more than 2,000

“The
timing of this transaction made it beneficial to both parties,” says Vetter.
“The seller brought the portfolio’s NOI from $2.5 million to $4 million in 11
months and took advantage of Atlanta’s rising apartment market. The stabilized
NOI and 8 percent cap rate are favorable to the new owner, who is now in a
perfect position to capitalize on long-term growth and land value appreciation,
especially on the four best-located assets,” adds Vetter.
“Job growth in Atlanta will lead the nation this year and
spur additional demand for housing,” comments Mays. “Improving conditions are
attracting many investors, including first-time and international buyers.
Financing in the metro is readily available, as local and regional banks are
becoming more aggressive and CMBS lending regains momentum,” Mays concludes.
