Lofty Operating Cash: $-11,936.64
ECO Operating Cash: $-5,482.82
Outstanding Liabilities (Unpaid Bills): $-5,410.50

Property Update (12/18/2025):
A new 8-month lease (12/29/2025-08/31/2026) for Apt 2 has been signed at $745/month.
The DAO currently owes $29,075.48 between Yhome, Aligned, ECO Systems, Lofty, and unpaid taxes. All financial statements are in the the Financials subfolder in Dropbox.
With a projected net cashflow of $823/month, it will take almost 4 years at 12% interest rate amortized to zero out this $29k debt.
NAV is ~$47.95/share at a $201k AVM per LoftyAssist. This estimate has not been evaluated by a licensed broker.
At this point, a vote for a capital call to raise funds (requiring a lender to fund a loan or dilutive equity), refinance via non-recourse/DSCR loan (requiring a DAO member to volunteer as borrower), or sale of the property on the MLS is required.
A governance proposal to determine the next steps will follow this update. Owners may also submit their own proposal(s) to Lofty for a vote.

Owner-Proposed Governance Vote for 3850 W 17th St:
The current property manager, M1 Homes LLC with the following wallet address, is proposing a governance vote.
M1 Homes LLC holds 50 tokens in this property.
The property manager's reasoning is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
PROPOSAL: Transition Property Management to ECO Systems LLC
Background:
When M1 Homes LLC was originally proposed as property manager, it was under the condition that the property in question would be free of outstanding financial obligations at the time of transfer. Unfortunately, that condition has not been met. The property currently carries unresolved debts and liabilities, placing it outside the original scope of M1 Homes’ intended role. Given this, M1 Homes LLC does not believe it is appropriate or consistent with its original proposal to assume management responsibilities under the current financial conditions.
Recommendation:
We propose transferring property management responsibilities to ECO Systems LLC. Earl, representing ECO Systems, has been closely involved in the property’s financial tracking and has maintained comprehensive and transparent spreadsheets regarding its operational and debt status. His proactive engagement and detailed oversight make him well-positioned to step into the property management role at this time.
Key Points Supporting This Proposal:
Original Agreement Integrity: M1 Homes’ proposal was contingent on a debt-free property. Continuing under current conditions would contradict that premise.
Established Oversight: ECO Systems, led by Earl, has already demonstrated deep operational familiarity with this property through diligent financial documentation.
Capital Flexibility: Upon transition, ECO Systems LLC will have the discretion to propose capital calls to EARLDAO as needed for property stabilization and repair planning.
Operational Efficiency: ECO Systems LLC, in coordination with Hemlane as sub-property manager, offers a lean and transparent fee structure with no repair markups and rent-readiness verification.
Property Management Transition (If Property is Retained):
Option 1 ) Transition to ECO Systems LLC as PM with Aligned, Hemlane, or Nomad as Sub-PM 15% Property Management Fee to ECO Systems Leasing Fee: One month's rent Hemlane rent-ready service $495 + materials & labor costs 10% markup on repairs or maintenance to Aligned if we must stay with them due to LAIC requirement, no markup to ECO Systems Rent placement to follow post-rehab verification
ECO Systems may initiate capital calls post-transition
Option 2 – Reject Vote #2 and Remain with M1 Homes LLC
M1 Homes remains as manager
No changes to current structure
Financial obligations remain unresolved under the existing framework
The results will be determined by a 60% Supermajority and sent to all owners on Tuesday, July 15th once the voting period ends.

The current property manager, Yhome Nursing LLC, has put together a counter-proposal.
This is in response to the governance vote to change managers, sent out on 4/25, which can be viewed on the property page.
If you have already voted, and would like to change your vote, click the button below, or at the end of this email.
Yhome owns 27 tokens in this property and their wallet address can be viewed here.
Their counter-proposal is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
Hi everyone,
I want to start by saying I truly appreciate seeing more community members stepping up—that kind of engagement is commendable and valuable. However, it's also important to recognize that much of the recent momentum isn’t due to Yhome's failure to perform, but rather a desire by some to prevent Yhome from being fairly compensated for the work it has done.
Yes, Yhome will receive compensation—as an asset manager or co-owner—but it's worth noting that the proposed alternative is essentially a return to a structure that already failed these properties in the past.
Yhome’s current system has proven itself. We are no longer fire-selling properties. All past evictions have been successfully handled across the Cleveland portfolio. No one can credibly accuse Yhome of neglect or inaction. The work has been done, and the results speak for themselves.
While I can’t compare Yhome to Earl, Alex or M1 directly—because we offer different services and use different strategies—what I can say is that shifting away from - Yhome may come with significant risks: possible capital calls, delays in repairs, and a lack of a local team with on-the-ground experience in this market. Sure, you may get a basic property management structure, but it won’t come with the same focus on long-term value, stability, and a “profit-first” approach that Yhome offers.
Let’s be clear—many of the loudest critics on Discord are traders looking for quick flips, not long-term investors. If that’s your strategy, that’s your choice. But if you’re in this for stable returns and peace of mind, I encourage you to recognize the value Yhome brings and vote to stay the course.
Thank you.

Owner-Proposed Governance Vote:
An Owner with the following wallet address is proposing a governance vote.
This owner holds 50 tokens in this property.
The owner's reasoning is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
I recommend that we transition management of 3850 W 17th St Cleveland Ohio 44109 to M1 Homes LLC, effective April 30th. M1 Homes is a reputable property management company that owns and manages 36 homes and 3 commercial units in Ohio, as well as 17 homes in Illinois. M1 Homes also manages 8 properties in the Quad City area, as well as another 2 Cleveland homes on Lofty.
This home is currently being managed by Yhome Nursing LLC. If there are any outstanding or unknown loans to Yhome Nursing LLC or Calixte Duffaut, M1 Homes will have the choice to accept management, propose another vote, or withdraw. I am not going to go into detail on why changing Property Management from Yhome Nursing LLC to M1 Homes would be beneficial to owners. M1 Homes already has current management in place who reside in the Cleveland Area.
M1 Homes is an active participant on Lofty and in the Lofty Discord (M1), offering consistent communication and being readily available to answer any questions from investors. M1 Homes' management fees are 10% of gross rent. First month rent to place a tenant. No fees for re-lease and no maintenance upcharge.
The owner making the proposal is the owner of M1 Homes, the property management company being proposed for the transition.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to owners on Monday, April 28th, once the voting period ends.

Property Update (05/31/2024):
Governance Vote:
The governance results are back for the governance vote to sell the property.
The winning vote is:
Sell the property.
This voting option received 394 / 770 of the token votes, which is equal to 51.1% of the total votes.
Per the previous governance vote email - because the property owes unpaid bills to the property manager, HomeRiver Group,, the property will be listed for sale by default because the Capital Call option did not reach a Supermajority of 60%+.
The property was originally purchased on 03/09/2022 for $147,000. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $156,919. HouseCanary is less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.
Alex Johnson, a Roofstock partner with Real Estate Quest, Inc., recommends the following:
I would recommend selling 3850 W 17th Street at $155k. I pulled a bunch of comps and about 80 came up so I had to redefine my criteria. Duplex 4 bedroom 2 bath built in 1918, living area between 1800-2000. Highest selling property was for $168k but that home was a side by side and NOT an Up and Down duplex. But the one comp that concerns me is 2907 Denison which was listed for $160k and has been on the market for 43 days now. They just reduced it to $157k.
The winning vote for the listing price will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to all investors on Monday, June 3rd once the voting period ends.
Property Update (05/27/2024):
Governance Vote:
Per the Operating Reserve Replenishment section of the property page, this property has a negative Operating Reserve balance due to unpaid bills owed to the Property Manager, HomeRiver Group.
HomeRiver Group recently sent over an updated list of the unpaid bills and has asked for these bills to be paid asap. They advised they are unable to accept future rent as payment for the unpaid bills.
The property owes $5,433.72 in unpaid bills to the Property Manager, HomeRiver Group, which can be viewed here. Also included in the spreadsheet is the trash-out estimate of $1,175 for Unit 1, upcoming property taxes for $1,282.01, and insurance payments of $363.27.
The PM is currently waiting on the hearing results from the attorney for Unit 2. Once the tenant in Unit 2 moves out, a Tenant Protection Plan (TPP) claim will be filed for lost rent, which can be used towards the trash-out for Unit 1 in order to list the unit for rent again. The PM advised the previous TPP claim was used to pay off previous unpaid bills, and they were able to get a lower estimate for the trash-out for $1,175, compared to the original bid of $1,500.
Owners now have the option to do a Capital Call for $8,750 and pay the unpaid bills plus have a cushion for future insurance and property tax payments. Owners can also choose to sell the property outright and use a portion of the funds from the sale to pay for the unpaid bills.
The property was originally purchased on 03/09/2022 for $147,000. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $156,919. HouseCanary is less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.

But the one comp that concerns me is 2907 Denison which was listed for $160k and has been on the market for 43 days now. They just reduced it to $157k.
If the Capital Call option is chosen, an owner of the property must be willing buy any unsold tokens if the Capital Call does not fully fund within the 15 day funding period. If an owner does not back the Capital Call within one week of this option being chosen, then the property will be listed for sale. If you are interested in backing the Capital Call, simply respond to this email.
The terms of past Capital Calls are as follows:
The interest rate paid to owners contributing funds to the capital call will be 13.5%.
When the Operating Reserve is <50% full, half of all net rental income should go to the Operating Reserve, and half to pay off the loan; when the Operating Reserve is >=50% full, 100% of net rental income should be used to pay off the loan.
4 year repayment period
The capital call offer is open for 15 days.
The owner will back any unsold tokens from the capital call.
If a Supermajority is not reached to do a Capital Call, then the property, by default, will be listed for sale on the open market in order to pay for the unpaid bills. If this occurs, a separate vote will also be sent to owners to determine the listing price. After the property is listed for sale, owners are still able to propose a governance vote to do a Capital Call and de-list the property for sale if they are willing to back it themselves.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ using the Ranked Choice Voting method and the results will be sent to all investors on Friday, May 31st once the voting period ends.

Upper Unit:

A Tenant Protection Plan (TPP) claim was filed for lost rent, and the insurance carrier approved the claim for one month's skip of rents, amounting to $800.
The funds from the TPP claims for both units will be used to pay for the required trash out.
Once the trash out is complete, the unit will be listed for rent.

Property Update (06/15/2023):
Governance Vote for 3850 W 17th St:
An Owner in this property has proposed a Governance Vote to sell 3850 W 17th St on the open market.
Their exact reasoning is below:
I am writing to propose a motion for selling the property located at 3850 W 17th St, Cleveland, Ohio 44109, within the Lofty platform. After careful consideration of the property's current status and evaluating the financial projections, I firmly believe that selling the property is the most prudent course of action for maximizing the return on our investment.
I would like to bring to your attention the following key details concerning the property:
Operating Reserve Balance: The Operating Reserve balance currently stands at $3,548, which is below half full. This indicates a potential risk in maintaining sufficient reserves to cover unforeseen expenses.
Cash Flow Allocation: Owners have voted to apply 100% of cash flow to replenish the reserve until it reaches half full, estimated at $3,675. Subsequently, 50% of cash flow will be directed towards the reserve until it reaches full capacity ($7,350).
Projected Cash Flow: Based on the projected monthly cash flow of $1,290.05, assuming the Upper Unit is rented for $850 and the Lower Unit is rented for $850, it will take 6 to 10 months at best to reach full capacity.
Considering the current occupancy status of the property, it is evident that the projected cash flow will not be generated for at least 6 months. The Upper Unit is vacant, and the Lower Unit tenant is delinquent with a balance of $5,100. While eviction proceedings have resumed, the tenant has indicated their intention to vacate on 6/5. With the uncertain timeframe for finding new tenants and the existing outstanding balance, it is clear that it would be more advantageous to liquidate our investment and allocate the funds to more profitable ventures.
The Trade volume for the last 4 weeks has been $120. Which would mean that in order to make a 20,000-investment liquid we would have to wait around 166 months.
Given these circumstances, I kindly request your assistance in initiating the necessary steps to facilitate the sale of the property located at 3850 W 17th St, Cleveland, Ohio 44109. I understand that there may be associated costs or fees, and I am willing to cooperate to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.
Owners will have the opportunity to vote to sell the property. If owners vote to sell the property, multiple local brokers will be consulted to provide their suggested listing price.
Owners will then have the opportunity to vote on the listing price of the property. There will also be an option at this time to not sell the property, based on newly available information about the suggested listing price.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to all owners on Monday, June 19th once the voting period ends.
Property Update (06/11/2023):
Upper Unit: The listing had 19 leads, 4 pre-qualified, and 4 showings in the last 7 days at $800/month.

Property Update (12/18/2025):
A new 8-month lease (12/29/2025-08/31/2026) for Apt 2 has been signed at $745/month.
The DAO currently owes $29,075.48 between Yhome, Aligned, ECO Systems, Lofty, and unpaid taxes. All financial statements are in the the Financials subfolder in Dropbox.
With a projected net cashflow of $823/month, it will take almost 4 years at 12% interest rate amortized to zero out this $29k debt.
NAV is ~$47.95/share at a $201k AVM per LoftyAssist. This estimate has not been evaluated by a licensed broker.
At this point, a vote for a capital call to raise funds (requiring a lender to fund a loan or dilutive equity), refinance via non-recourse/DSCR loan (requiring a DAO member to volunteer as borrower), or sale of the property on the MLS is required.
A governance proposal to determine the next steps will follow this update. Owners may also submit their own proposal(s) to Lofty for a vote.

Owner-Proposed Governance Vote for 3850 W 17th St:
The current property manager, M1 Homes LLC with the following wallet address, is proposing a governance vote.
M1 Homes LLC holds 50 tokens in this property.
The property manager's reasoning is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
PROPOSAL: Transition Property Management to ECO Systems LLC
Background:
When M1 Homes LLC was originally proposed as property manager, it was under the condition that the property in question would be free of outstanding financial obligations at the time of transfer. Unfortunately, that condition has not been met. The property currently carries unresolved debts and liabilities, placing it outside the original scope of M1 Homes’ intended role. Given this, M1 Homes LLC does not believe it is appropriate or consistent with its original proposal to assume management responsibilities under the current financial conditions.
Recommendation:
We propose transferring property management responsibilities to ECO Systems LLC. Earl, representing ECO Systems, has been closely involved in the property’s financial tracking and has maintained comprehensive and transparent spreadsheets regarding its operational and debt status. His proactive engagement and detailed oversight make him well-positioned to step into the property management role at this time.
Key Points Supporting This Proposal:
Original Agreement Integrity: M1 Homes’ proposal was contingent on a debt-free property. Continuing under current conditions would contradict that premise.
Established Oversight: ECO Systems, led by Earl, has already demonstrated deep operational familiarity with this property through diligent financial documentation.
Capital Flexibility: Upon transition, ECO Systems LLC will have the discretion to propose capital calls to EARLDAO as needed for property stabilization and repair planning.
Operational Efficiency: ECO Systems LLC, in coordination with Hemlane as sub-property manager, offers a lean and transparent fee structure with no repair markups and rent-readiness verification.
Property Management Transition (If Property is Retained):
Option 1 ) Transition to ECO Systems LLC as PM with Aligned, Hemlane, or Nomad as Sub-PM 15% Property Management Fee to ECO Systems Leasing Fee: One month's rent Hemlane rent-ready service $495 + materials & labor costs 10% markup on repairs or maintenance to Aligned if we must stay with them due to LAIC requirement, no markup to ECO Systems Rent placement to follow post-rehab verification
ECO Systems may initiate capital calls post-transition
Option 2 – Reject Vote #2 and Remain with M1 Homes LLC
M1 Homes remains as manager
No changes to current structure
Financial obligations remain unresolved under the existing framework
The results will be determined by a 60% Supermajority and sent to all owners on Tuesday, July 15th once the voting period ends.

The current property manager, Yhome Nursing LLC, has put together a counter-proposal.
This is in response to the governance vote to change managers, sent out on 4/25, which can be viewed on the property page.
If you have already voted, and would like to change your vote, click the button below, or at the end of this email.
Yhome owns 27 tokens in this property and their wallet address can be viewed here.
Their counter-proposal is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
Hi everyone,
I want to start by saying I truly appreciate seeing more community members stepping up—that kind of engagement is commendable and valuable. However, it's also important to recognize that much of the recent momentum isn’t due to Yhome's failure to perform, but rather a desire by some to prevent Yhome from being fairly compensated for the work it has done.
Yes, Yhome will receive compensation—as an asset manager or co-owner—but it's worth noting that the proposed alternative is essentially a return to a structure that already failed these properties in the past.
Yhome’s current system has proven itself. We are no longer fire-selling properties. All past evictions have been successfully handled across the Cleveland portfolio. No one can credibly accuse Yhome of neglect or inaction. The work has been done, and the results speak for themselves.
While I can’t compare Yhome to Earl, Alex or M1 directly—because we offer different services and use different strategies—what I can say is that shifting away from - Yhome may come with significant risks: possible capital calls, delays in repairs, and a lack of a local team with on-the-ground experience in this market. Sure, you may get a basic property management structure, but it won’t come with the same focus on long-term value, stability, and a “profit-first” approach that Yhome offers.
Let’s be clear—many of the loudest critics on Discord are traders looking for quick flips, not long-term investors. If that’s your strategy, that’s your choice. But if you’re in this for stable returns and peace of mind, I encourage you to recognize the value Yhome brings and vote to stay the course.
Thank you.

Owner-Proposed Governance Vote:
An Owner with the following wallet address is proposing a governance vote.
This owner holds 50 tokens in this property.
The owner's reasoning is below, word-for-word:
*Because this is an owner proposed vote, Lofty cannot change the content. It’s up to owners to verify the accuracy of the claims below.
I recommend that we transition management of 3850 W 17th St Cleveland Ohio 44109 to M1 Homes LLC, effective April 30th. M1 Homes is a reputable property management company that owns and manages 36 homes and 3 commercial units in Ohio, as well as 17 homes in Illinois. M1 Homes also manages 8 properties in the Quad City area, as well as another 2 Cleveland homes on Lofty.
This home is currently being managed by Yhome Nursing LLC. If there are any outstanding or unknown loans to Yhome Nursing LLC or Calixte Duffaut, M1 Homes will have the choice to accept management, propose another vote, or withdraw. I am not going to go into detail on why changing Property Management from Yhome Nursing LLC to M1 Homes would be beneficial to owners. M1 Homes already has current management in place who reside in the Cleveland Area.
M1 Homes is an active participant on Lofty and in the Lofty Discord (M1), offering consistent communication and being readily available to answer any questions from investors. M1 Homes' management fees are 10% of gross rent. First month rent to place a tenant. No fees for re-lease and no maintenance upcharge.
The owner making the proposal is the owner of M1 Homes, the property management company being proposed for the transition.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to owners on Monday, April 28th, once the voting period ends.

Property Update (05/31/2024):
Governance Vote:
The governance results are back for the governance vote to sell the property.
The winning vote is:
Sell the property.
This voting option received 394 / 770 of the token votes, which is equal to 51.1% of the total votes.
Per the previous governance vote email - because the property owes unpaid bills to the property manager, HomeRiver Group,, the property will be listed for sale by default because the Capital Call option did not reach a Supermajority of 60%+.
The property was originally purchased on 03/09/2022 for $147,000. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $156,919. HouseCanary is less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.
Alex Johnson, a Roofstock partner with Real Estate Quest, Inc., recommends the following:
I would recommend selling 3850 W 17th Street at $155k. I pulled a bunch of comps and about 80 came up so I had to redefine my criteria. Duplex 4 bedroom 2 bath built in 1918, living area between 1800-2000. Highest selling property was for $168k but that home was a side by side and NOT an Up and Down duplex. But the one comp that concerns me is 2907 Denison which was listed for $160k and has been on the market for 43 days now. They just reduced it to $157k.
The winning vote for the listing price will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to all investors on Monday, June 3rd once the voting period ends.
Property Update (05/27/2024):
Governance Vote:
Per the Operating Reserve Replenishment section of the property page, this property has a negative Operating Reserve balance due to unpaid bills owed to the Property Manager, HomeRiver Group.
HomeRiver Group recently sent over an updated list of the unpaid bills and has asked for these bills to be paid asap. They advised they are unable to accept future rent as payment for the unpaid bills.
The property owes $5,433.72 in unpaid bills to the Property Manager, HomeRiver Group, which can be viewed here. Also included in the spreadsheet is the trash-out estimate of $1,175 for Unit 1, upcoming property taxes for $1,282.01, and insurance payments of $363.27.
The PM is currently waiting on the hearing results from the attorney for Unit 2. Once the tenant in Unit 2 moves out, a Tenant Protection Plan (TPP) claim will be filed for lost rent, which can be used towards the trash-out for Unit 1 in order to list the unit for rent again. The PM advised the previous TPP claim was used to pay off previous unpaid bills, and they were able to get a lower estimate for the trash-out for $1,175, compared to the original bid of $1,500.
Owners now have the option to do a Capital Call for $8,750 and pay the unpaid bills plus have a cushion for future insurance and property tax payments. Owners can also choose to sell the property outright and use a portion of the funds from the sale to pay for the unpaid bills.
The property was originally purchased on 03/09/2022 for $147,000. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $156,919. HouseCanary is less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.

But the one comp that concerns me is 2907 Denison which was listed for $160k and has been on the market for 43 days now. They just reduced it to $157k.
If the Capital Call option is chosen, an owner of the property must be willing buy any unsold tokens if the Capital Call does not fully fund within the 15 day funding period. If an owner does not back the Capital Call within one week of this option being chosen, then the property will be listed for sale. If you are interested in backing the Capital Call, simply respond to this email.
The terms of past Capital Calls are as follows:
The interest rate paid to owners contributing funds to the capital call will be 13.5%.
When the Operating Reserve is <50% full, half of all net rental income should go to the Operating Reserve, and half to pay off the loan; when the Operating Reserve is >=50% full, 100% of net rental income should be used to pay off the loan.
4 year repayment period
The capital call offer is open for 15 days.
The owner will back any unsold tokens from the capital call.
If a Supermajority is not reached to do a Capital Call, then the property, by default, will be listed for sale on the open market in order to pay for the unpaid bills. If this occurs, a separate vote will also be sent to owners to determine the listing price. After the property is listed for sale, owners are still able to propose a governance vote to do a Capital Call and de-list the property for sale if they are willing to back it themselves.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ using the Ranked Choice Voting method and the results will be sent to all investors on Friday, May 31st once the voting period ends.

Property Update (06/15/2023):
Governance Vote for 3850 W 17th St:
An Owner in this property has proposed a Governance Vote to sell 3850 W 17th St on the open market.
Their exact reasoning is below:
I am writing to propose a motion for selling the property located at 3850 W 17th St, Cleveland, Ohio 44109, within the Lofty platform. After careful consideration of the property's current status and evaluating the financial projections, I firmly believe that selling the property is the most prudent course of action for maximizing the return on our investment.
I would like to bring to your attention the following key details concerning the property:
Operating Reserve Balance: The Operating Reserve balance currently stands at $3,548, which is below half full. This indicates a potential risk in maintaining sufficient reserves to cover unforeseen expenses.
Cash Flow Allocation: Owners have voted to apply 100% of cash flow to replenish the reserve until it reaches half full, estimated at $3,675. Subsequently, 50% of cash flow will be directed towards the reserve until it reaches full capacity ($7,350).
Projected Cash Flow: Based on the projected monthly cash flow of $1,290.05, assuming the Upper Unit is rented for $850 and the Lower Unit is rented for $850, it will take 6 to 10 months at best to reach full capacity.
Considering the current occupancy status of the property, it is evident that the projected cash flow will not be generated for at least 6 months. The Upper Unit is vacant, and the Lower Unit tenant is delinquent with a balance of $5,100. While eviction proceedings have resumed, the tenant has indicated their intention to vacate on 6/5. With the uncertain timeframe for finding new tenants and the existing outstanding balance, it is clear that it would be more advantageous to liquidate our investment and allocate the funds to more profitable ventures.
The Trade volume for the last 4 weeks has been $120. Which would mean that in order to make a 20,000-investment liquid we would have to wait around 166 months.
Given these circumstances, I kindly request your assistance in initiating the necessary steps to facilitate the sale of the property located at 3850 W 17th St, Cleveland, Ohio 44109. I understand that there may be associated costs or fees, and I am willing to cooperate to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.
Owners will have the opportunity to vote to sell the property. If owners vote to sell the property, multiple local brokers will be consulted to provide their suggested listing price.
Owners will then have the opportunity to vote on the listing price of the property. There will also be an option at this time to not sell the property, based on newly available information about the suggested listing price.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to all owners on Monday, June 19th once the voting period ends.
Property Update (06/11/2023):
Upper Unit: The listing had 19 leads, 4 pre-qualified, and 4 showings in the last 7 days at $800/month.
