Nest Opportunity Fund® April 2022 Update

In this issue, we cover an overview of our fund, our upcoming April webinar, an update on our operations, monthly rent growth and steps to get started with Nest.

Nest Fund Overview

We built Nest originally for ourselves to invest (as the first LPs!) in conservative smaller real estate. We are patient and focus on day-to-day execution. We wish to reinvest income over time if our underwriting standards are met. We are long-term investors. If that fits the bill for you, contact us! Our assets are located in the growing cities of Columbus, OH and Lexington, KY.

Operations Update: March 2022

Rehab Operations

Both Columbus and Lexington operations focused on completing projects close to completion so we could lease up prior to the usual slow Q1 and have focused on earlier stage projects this quarter. That said, our Lexington operations have completed 1 Single Family house and 2 additional units in our 31-unit (“Georgetown”), leaving only 1 unit left to be rehabbed.

Rental Operations

Rental market remains strong even during the typical slow Q1 and demand seems robust coming into the leasing season in both markets.

Purchases

This month, we made two purchases in Columbus. The first is a duplex in a great part of the “up and coming” neighborhood of Franklinton within a block of major redevelopment and neighboring community gardens (Series B). In addition, we closed yesterday on a lot behind a duplex we own in Olde Towne East, providing the ability to build a garage or perhaps a duplex.

Financing/Appraisals

No new appraisals or financings. We gave the Dept. of Affordable Housing a tour of our Georgetown project this month, and have been invited to submit our Georgetown project to receive low-interest loan and grant money due to its affordability and improvement to the neighborhood. We have submitted one package of properties successfully in the past and are optimistic as to the outcome, but the process will be long.

Administrative

We have been working with auditors on calculating our 12/31/2021 Net Asset Value and believe it will be complete within 2 weeks. We are working to shorten this process.
