Highlights

• Attractive Below-Market Seller Financing: Current ownership is offering extremely favorable seller financing terms that provide below-market acquisition financing, reduced upfront capital requirements, and allow investors to preserve equity for renovations and value-add improvements.
• Significant Value-Add & Rental Growth Potential: Current in-place rents are approximately $175+ below market, providing investors with an immediate opportunity to increase revenue through strategic unit renovations, operational improvements, and continued rent growth supported by favorable seller financing.
• Currently Operated as Market-Rate Housing: The property is presently operated as a traditional market-rate apartment community serving the local workforce, creating a unique repositioning opportunity in one of WMU’s most desirable student housing locations.
• Ideal Student Housing Conversion Opportunity: The property’s premier location, predominately two-bedroom floor plans, spacious unit layouts, and walkable campus access create an exceptional opportunity to reposition the asset to student housing and capitalize on sustained university demand.
• Exceptional Walk-to-Campus Location: Ideally positioned just blocks from Western Michigan University, providing residents with direct access to campus, student amenities, and the area’s premier student housing corridor.
• On-Site Amenities: Property amenities include controlled building access, professional on-site management, responsive maintenance services, 24-hour emergency maintenance, laundry facilities, online resident services, and a recently upgraded security system.
• Excellent Connectivity & Lifestyle Amenities: Residents benefit from convenient access to campus shuttle routes, public transportation, restaurants, bars, retail destinations, and entertainment venues, enhancing both marketability and long-term tenant demand.
