Short story:
Please vote now to switch to ECO Systems, a proven property manager and avoid an almost doubling of our PM fee to 25% with our current unresponsive property manager (Yhome).
Longer story:
If we take no action in the next two weeks, our current property manager (Yhome)'s fees will almost double to 25%. This is a consequence of Yhome's unilateral change of contract terms, which we (possibly inadvertently) voted to approve in the vote earlier this month, in a confusing vote in which we had no clear option to refuse, and were presented with a menu of terrible options.
I urge you to vote against this by transitioning management of 614 E 97th St to ECO Systems, effective May 15th. ECO Systems’ owner has been a dedicated and loyal member of Lofty for the past four years, consistently demonstrating his ability to manage some of the platform’s best-performing properties, in terms of both income and appreciation (e.g., 86, 88 and 90 Madison Ave).
ECO Systems is an active participant on Lofty and in the Lofty Discord (@earlvanze), offering consistent communication and being readily available to answer any questions from investors, unlike Yhome. ECO Systems’ management fees are 10% of gross rent, first month rent to place a tenant. No fees for re-lease and no maintenance upcharge.
Option 1: Vote to change to ECO Systems property management and reject Yhome's fee increase.
Option 2: Vote to retain Yhome as property manager, and pay a 25% PM fee going forward.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to owners on Monday, May 12th, once the voting period ends.

Now that the Capital Call option has been 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.
The Universal Lending DAO owners will also have the ability to vote to back the Capital Call via a governance vote.
The terms of past Capital Calls are as follows:

Governance Vote:
Owners will now have the opportunity to vote to do a Capital Call to make the turn repairs for Unit 1, not make repairs and continue holding the property and collecting rent from Unit 2, or sell the property outright.
The PM received two turn estimates for $8,735.67 and $14,322.
They recommend the less expensive estimate, as it takes care of the issues and is more cost efficient.
The property recently received a Tenant Protection Plan (TPP) insurance claim payment for $700. After adding this payment, the Operating Reserve balance is -$1,803.65 due to $882.30 owed for previously completed repairs and $921.35 owed for property taxes.
Owners now have the option to do a Capital Call for $10,500, complete the turn repairs and pay the unpaid bills, and rent out Unit 2 again. Owners can also choose to sell the property outright or continue holding the property and collecting rent from Unit 2.
The property was originally purchased on 06/10/2022 for $115,465. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $134,417. HouseCanary reports are less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.
Alex Johnson, a Roofstock partner with Real Estate Quest, Inc., recommends the following:
I recommend listing this property for $140k. At $750 a month (per unit) we're looking at $1,500 which is more than what we'd need for the 1% rule BUT we also have repairs on this one. Additionally similar properties that sold in that area are as follows. 450 E 109th sold for $125, 10105 Somerset sold for $139, and lastly 734 E 92nd sold for $146. Days on the market vary for E 97th. Some sold within 2 weeks, while some sat for months on end
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.
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 in 614 E 97th St on Friday, May 10th once the voting period ends.

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.
Token holders - please be advised according to ECO our property manager, we may potentially owe a balance on this property of 10K. Given the property is in good shape and cash flowing, I am proposing we consult a realtor to list this on the open market. Estimates have the price around $125k which would put the token price at $40-$45 after expenses vs the current market price of $25 per token.

*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.
Short story:
Please vote now to switch to ECO Systems, a proven property manager and avoid an almost doubling of our PM fee to 25% with our current unresponsive property manager (Yhome).
Longer story:
If we take no action in the next two weeks, our current property manager (Yhome)'s fees will almost double to 25%. This is a consequence of Yhome's unilateral change of contract terms, which we (possibly inadvertently) voted to approve in the vote earlier this month, in a confusing vote in which we had no clear option to refuse, and were presented with a menu of terrible options.
I urge you to vote against this by transitioning management of 614 E 97th St to ECO Systems, effective May 15th. ECO Systems’ owner has been a dedicated and loyal member of Lofty for the past four years, consistently demonstrating his ability to manage some of the platform’s best-performing properties, in terms of both income and appreciation (e.g., 86, 88 and 90 Madison Ave).
ECO Systems is an active participant on Lofty and in the Lofty Discord (@earlvanze), offering consistent communication and being readily available to answer any questions from investors, unlike Yhome. ECO Systems’ management fees are 10% of gross rent, first month rent to place a tenant. No fees for re-lease and no maintenance upcharge.
Option 1: Vote to change to ECO Systems property management and reject Yhome's fee increase.
Option 2: Vote to retain Yhome as property manager, and pay a 25% PM fee going forward.
The winning vote will be determined by a Supermajority of 60%+ and the results will be sent to owners on Monday, May 12th, once the voting period ends.

Sell the property
410 token votes
Continue holding the property and collecting rent from Unit 2.
11 token votes
Now that the Capital Call option has been 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.
The Universal Lending DAO owners will also have the ability to vote to back the Capital Call via a governance vote.
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.

Property Update (05/06/2024):
Governance Vote:
Owners will now have the opportunity to vote to do a Capital Call to make the turn repairs for Unit 1, not make repairs and continue holding the property and collecting rent from Unit 2, or sell the property outright.
The PM received two turn estimates for $8,735.67 and $14,322.
They recommend the less expensive estimate, as it takes care of the issues and is more cost efficient.
The property recently received a Tenant Protection Plan (TPP) insurance claim payment for $700. After adding this payment, the Operating Reserve balance is -$1,803.65 due to $882.30 owed for previously completed repairs and $921.35 owed for property taxes.

The property was originally purchased on 06/10/2022 for $115,465. The HouseCanary Valuation as of March, 2024 is $134,417. HouseCanary reports are less accurate for 2+ unit properties, like this property.
Alex Johnson, a Roofstock partner with Real Estate Quest, Inc., recommends the following:
I recommend listing this property for $140k. At $750 a month (per unit) we're looking at $1,500 which is more than what we'd need for the 1% rule BUT we also have repairs on this one. Additionally similar properties that sold in that area are as follows. 450 E 109th sold for $125, 10105 Somerset sold for $139, and lastly 734 E 92nd sold for $146. Days on the market vary for E 97th. Some sold within 2 weeks, while some sat for months on end
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.
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 in 614 E 97th St on Friday, May 10th once the voting period ends.

Alex Johnson, a Roofstock partner with Real Estate Quest, Inc., recommends the following:
I recommend listing this property for $140k. At $750 a month (per unit) we’re looking at $1,500 which is more than what we’d need for the 1% rule BUT we also have repairs on this one. Additionally similar properties that sold in that area are as follows. 450 E 109th sold for $125, 10105 Somerset sold for $139, and lastly 734 E 92nd sold for $146. Days on the market vary for E 97th. Some sold within 2 weeks, while some sat for months on end
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.
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 in 614 E 97th St on Friday, May 10th once the voting period ends.
