(Investment #1)
Thomas Lopez-Pierre of the Black Real Estate Forum, LLC/ BLMREF Fund I, LLC at 3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx NY (May 2023).
$10,000 Invested in 2021/$120,000 Invested in 2023/Projected Profit: $60,000 In 12 months! (Investment #1)
In 2021, BREF Fund I, LLC ("Fund I") with a $10,000 capital investment and the assumption of $315,000 in mortgage debt (and $77,500 in additional debt), acquired the controlling interest in 3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York 10469 (the "Property").
On April 26, 2023, Fund I invested an additional $116,891.11 in the Property to bring the property's mortgage current and remove the property from the pre-foreclosure legal process.
3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York 10469 is currently valued at $600,000 on Zillow.com (as of May 1, 2023).
In 2023, Fund I will borrow $150,000 in debt capital from BREF Debt Capital, LLC at a 15% interest rate (secured with a 2nd position mortgage lien on the property to protect debt investors from capital loss) to pay for the renovations of the property.
The Property is currently a one-story, single-family residence with approximately 50x100 square feet of land area and 1,602 square feet of building area, containing three bedrooms and one bathroom. In the short term, Fund I plans to gut-renovate the one-family property and rent it out to tenants for about 5 years (rental income will be used to service the mortgage debt).
After about 5 years and with interest rates and supply chain/construction costs stabilized, Fund I plans to form a joint-venture partnership with a Black real estate developer to tear down the existing, one-floor structure and develop the property.
Although the exact details are still being developed, Fund I anticipates that the redevelopment will contain approximately 50x100 square feet of land area and 5,200 square feet of building area, divided between two semi-attached townhouses; the planned townhouse will have two stories with two residential units, each containing three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms (four units).
After the completion of the redevelopment of the Property, Fund I anticipates that the Project will have a value of $2,000,000 (each of the two townhouses is expected to sell for a minimum of $1,000,000).
As of May 1, 2023, 3115 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York, 10469 (located just a few houses away from the BREF Fund I, LLC's property) is two semi-attached townhouses, each valued at $882,300 by trulia.com.
