The asset sold for $8,150,000.

Michael Donaldson and Nicholas Meoli, both vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company.  The buyer, a partnership, was secured and represented by Donaldson and Meoli.

“With over $700,000 in recent capital improvements, consistent monthly rent growth and a submarket with strong fundamentals, it is no surprise that we had over 300 buyers register to access the marketing website for Villas at 17th,” says Donaldson. 

“Buyers were attracted to the turnkey operation with the ability to obtain excellent year one cash flow once the loss-to-lease was reduced.”

“By bringing this property out to the market through our national marketing platform, we were able to procure nine offers, and ultimately close with an out-of-state buyer with local management at the contract price and terms,” adds Meoli.
