Current Investments
Lehigh Acres
Financial Performance:
Total Cumulative Investor Distributions: N/A
Description:
16 single family homes, built between 2005-2006 in Lehigh Acres, FL, east of Ft. Myers, and just 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Homes range in size from 3BR/2BA to 4BR/2.5BA and are situated on ¼ acre lots. Features include upgraded appliances, laundry rooms, tile floors, large screened lanais and two car garages.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased 16 vacant residential lots in Lehigh Acres, FL in 2004, at an average cost of $10,625, and obtained 100% construction financing to develop new single family homes for investment.
The timing of this investment was good, and we were able to sell 10 of the 16 homes prior to the market collapse at profits ranging from $75,000 to $125,000 per house. Our leverage on these homes was enormous given the ability to finance 100% of the development cost. The remaining 6 homes remain in our investment rental portfolio, and are currently 100% occupied. The continued growth in Southwest Florida is impressive, and we are happy to hold these remaining homes for long-term capital gains.
Carriage House
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $1,760,000
IRR: 11.06%
Equity Multiple: 1.08X
Description:
Carriage House consists of 12 two and one-half-story buildings situated on 9 acres in southwest Topeka, Kansas. This garden style community features one and two bedroom apartment homes. Common area amenities include two swimming pools, a community clubhouse, on site laundry facilities in each building, and abundant off street parking. Beautifully landscaped courtyards provide residents with a serene setting within the capital city of Kansas.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Carriage House in 2008, sourcing equity contributions from ten investors. MPC was able to acquire the property well below replacement cost due to above market vacancy and high delinquencies that existed prior to takeover. Investors enjoyed monthly cash flow distributions during the first six years of operations. However, during the Great Recession, Topeka began to experience economic decline, resulting in a surge of unemployment, and resulting in large numbers of resident defaults. Many of the better qualified residents upgraded to single family home rentals and purchases, made possible by the glut of foreclosures in the market. This major shift had a negative impact on overall property operations and liquidity. MPC ultimately made the difficult decision to take a minimal loss and exit this investment in 2015. We feel it is important to mention that MPC held a majority ownership interest in Carriage House, as is the case with most of MPC’s investments.
Northside Gardens
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $690,000
IRR: 13.57%
Equity Multiple: 1.95X
Description:
Northside Gardens is a market rate, multifamily apartment community located in Warner Robins, GA. This property contains 32 single-story buildings which feature one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans. The 18 acre site is abundant with indigenous pine trees creating a peaceful, campus-like atmosphere for residents. Community amenities include two swimming pools, a laundry facility, a community clubhouse, and two tennis courts.
MPC Strategy:
In 2006, McKee Private Capital expanded into the Southeast region of the U.S. with the acquisition of Northside Gardens. MPC purchased the real estate at a significant discount to replacement cost alongside one equity partner. Property operations remained stable throughout MPC’s holding period providing investors with consistent monthly cash flow for nearly nine years. Given the age of the asset, and impending capital investment requirements, MPC made the decision to sell in January, 2015, realizing a profit on the sale. Sale proceeds, coupled with the years of cash flow provided our ownership entity with an internal rate of return in excess of 10% over the term of the investment.
White Lakes Plaza
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $1,792,503
IRR: 10%
Equity Multiple: 2.13X
Description:
White Lakes Plaza consists of 9 two-story buildings located in suburban southwest Topeka. This garden style community offers an attractive unit mix of 72 one-bedroom and 72 two-bedroom apartments. Common area amenities include our resort style swimming pool, community clubhouse, on site laundry facility, and covered parking.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased White Lakes Plaza in 2006 after having success with another apartment investment in the nearby Kansas City market. As a condition of the purchase, MPC assumed the Seller’s conduit loan which featured an above market interest rate. After the yield maintenance provision expired, MPC refinanced White Lakes Plaza and pulled out cash for various property improvements which helped drive significant rent increases. Recognizing impending capital needs including roof and parking lot replacement, MPC decided to divest White Lakes Plaza in 2017 and completed a successful 1031 exchange into a newer single tenant asset located in Overland Park, KS.
Governor’s Court
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $854,000
IRR: 11%
Equity Multiple: 2.57X
Description:
Governor’s Court consists of 5 two-story garden-style apartment buildings located in Olathe, KS. The property has 28 one-bedroom units, 48 two-bedroom units, and 4 three-bedroom units. Located just 20 miles south of Kansas City, Governor’s Court provides its residents with an affordable housing option within the affluent Johnson County sub-market. Community amenities include laundry facilities in each building, off street parking, and storage lockers for rent.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Governor’s Court in 2007 after having established a presence in the nearby Kansas City market. Given this property’s close proximity to Kansas City and the favorable market demographics of Johnson County, MPC was able to realize immediate rent growth post acquisition resulting in strong investor returns over the term of the investment. MPC decided to divest Governor’s Court in 2017 and completed a successful 1031 exchange into a brand new multifamily asset located in Springfield, Oregon.
Englewood
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $1,100,000
IRR: 13.24%
Equity Multiple: 2.13X
Description:
Englewood Apartments is a government subsidized apartment community situated just north of the Missouri River in Kansas City. The property features a diverse unit mix which includes one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom apartments. Community amenities include playground, onsite laundry, off street parking, and central air conditioning.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Englewood Apartments in 2007 with three investors, all of whom had taxable events looming due to capital gains on recent property sales. MPC successfully navigated three 1031 exchange transactions enabling investors to leverage their appreciated capital without tax recognition, and grow their real estate exposure by partnering in the acquisition of Englewood. In addition to equity preservation, Englewood provided investors with an 8.12% internal rate of return over the life of the investment. MPC sold the asset to a tax credit developer in May, 2015, realizing appreciation on the sale.
Northeast View
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $560,000
IRR: 34%
Equity Multiple: 6.72X
Description:
Northeast Apartments is a government subsidized apartment community located in the historic Pendleton Heights district of Kansas City. The property is comprised of 12 two and one-half-story buildings which collectively offer an attractive unit mix of 10 one-bedroom, 76 two-bedroom, and 51 three-bedroom apartments. Community amenities include onsite laundry, off street parking, and central air conditioning.
MPC Strategy:
In 2005, McKee Private Capital expanded its footprint to include the Midwest with the acquisition of Northeast View Apartments. MPC paid less than 50% of replacement cost allowing for a debt coverage ratio in excess of 1.5 and an acquisition cap rate of nearly 11%. Property operations remained stable throughout MPC’s holding period providing investors with consistent, double-digit cash on cash returns each month. Investor demand for Project Based Section 8 assets has surged since 2005, which prompted MPC to take Northeast View to market in 2014. The property sold in the first quarter of 2015 to a non-profit group at an above market sales price securing investors tremendous appreciation on their initial equity. Northeast View exceeded MPC’s initial investment projections.
Riverfront
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $740,000
IRR: 37%
Equity Multiple: 7.34X
Description:
Riverfront consists of 3 three-story multifamily apartment buildings located in
South Sioux City, Nebraska, just across the Missouri River from Iowa. The community contains one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and caters to low income households earning no more than 60% of Dakota County’s AMI (area median income). Community amenities include onsite laundry facilities in each building, laundry hook-ups, garages for rent, and a playground.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital acquired Riverfront in December of 2013 as part of a 1031 tax deferred exchange. After increasing NOI by more than 30%, MPC refinanced the existing debt allowing investors a 100% return of capital. Recognizing the volatility in capital markets, MPC made the decision to divest Riverfront in the Spring of 2022 realizing a significant gain on sale.
The Oaks Apartments
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $2,895,000
IRR: 32%
Equity Multiple: 3.77X
Market Overview:
Lincolnton, NC is a bedroom community located 37 miles northeast of Charlotte, and part of the Charlotte MSA.
Located between the Blue Ridge Mountains and coastal plains, the Charlotte metro stretches 3,198 square miles across the Piedmont region of the Southeastern United States. It contains seven counties in North Carolina: Mecklenburg, Gaston, Union, Cabarrus, Iredell, Rowan and Lincoln. South Carolina counties include York, Lancaster and Chester. A strong financial presence has contributed to the local population growing to more than 2.4 million citizens, becoming one of the nation’s fastest growing metros over the past 15 years.
Charlotte currently boasts a population of over 800,000 people. The Charlotte metro is expected to gain 18% population growth over the next 7 years. The largest portion of this gain will be due to in-migration.
Charlotte has a well-educated and highly trained labor pool that is attracted by a variety of industries and employers located in the metro. The metro’s employment base is growing and diversifying, drawing Fortune 500 companies. Though the finance sector is a large driver of the economy, manufacturing, healthcare and energy industries also play a vital role. The low cost of doing business attracts companies. Eight Fortune 500 companies have headquarters in the region: Bank of America, Lowe’s, Quintiles Transnational Holdings, Duke Energy, Family Dollar, Nucor, Sonic Automotive and Domtar. Highly ranked universities provide employment and produce a highly educated workforce, drawing top companies to the area.
Property Description:
The Oaks is comprised of 8 two story garden style buildings spread over 10 beautifully landscaped, wooded acres. Built in 2002, the Oaks stands as Lincolnton’s premier apartment community. Unit mix is comprised of 20-1BR/1BA, 79-2BR/2BA, and 12-3BR/2BA Units. Property has covered balconies and breezeways, and 230 parking spaces, including fully enclosed garages. Amenities include Clubhouse, Fitness Center, Onsite Laundry as well as en-suite laundry hookups, Basketball Court and Dog Park.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital acquired the Oaks from its original developer in July of 2018. While the property had been well maintained physically, it had been undermanaged as demonstrated by high vacancy. A more aggressive leasing campaign was implemented resulting in NOI growth in excess of twenty percent within the first year of ownership. In Spring of 2022, ownership made the decision to divest the asset resulting in a return of equity four times over.
Park Madison Apartments
Description:
Situated just 15 minutes south of Indianapolis, Park Madison Apartments is comprised of 7 two-story multifamily apartment buildings located on approximately three acres of land. The community consists of 56 two-bedroom floor plans totaling 64,400 rentable square feet for a generous 1,150 square feet of living space per apartment. Property amenities include built-in microwaves, washers/dryer connections, private patios and balconies, walk-in closets, and ample off street parking.
The Opportunity:
Park Madison provides investors with the unique opportunity to acquire real estate below replacement cost in a growing secondary market. With rents in the Indianapolis market expected to expand by 3.5% in 2017, Park Madison will continue to provide our investors with solid, conservative revenue growth. This investment is currently generating annualized cash flow in excess of 10%.
Woodwinds
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $580,000
Projected Investor Dividends (Year 1): 8.75%
Description:
Woodwinds Apartments consist of 6 two-story multifamily apartment buildings located in
Norfolk, Nebraska. The buildings contain a total of 44 two-bedroom and 6 three-bedroom apartment townhomes all of which are made affordable to our residents with rental assistance provided under a HAP Contract (Housing Assistance Payments), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Amenities include an onsite laundry facility, playground, and central air conditioning.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital had the opportunity to acquire Woodwinds Apartments on an off-market basis in January of 2013. Upon takeover, MPC terminated the existing HAP Contract and negotiated a new, budget based Contract with HUD. As a result, Woodwinds is no longer subject to periodic RCS (rent comp surveys) and therefore has zero exposure to market rent reductions. This investment continues to generate solid, double-digit returns to investors each month.
Sierra Pointe
Financial Performance:
Projected Investor Dividends (Year 1): 7.0%
Description:
Sierra Pointe consists of 15 two-story apartment buildings situated on two parcels totaling approximately 11 acres in St. George, UT. Just 40 miles west of Zion National Park, this garden style community features an attractive unit mix of studio, one, two, and three bedroom apartments. Common area amenities include on site laundry facilities, community fitness center, playground, sauna, and garage parking.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Sierra Pointe in January 2016, marking our first expansion into the Utah market. MPC raised equity from seven private investors and assumed the Seller’s existing debt, which will mature in 2023. MPC investment projections indicate that Sierra Pointe will generate a cash on cash in excess of 9% per annum. While operations were stable under previous ownership, MPC is confident that meaningful rent growth is achievable with moderate unit upgrades and a more aggressive lease renewal campaign. Median physical occupancy rates among similar type properties in St. George have been 99% for the past three years. Additionally, the local population has increased by approximately 30% over the last ten years and is poised for further growth.

The Opportunity:
Acquired in December 2016, Casa Del Sol provides investors with the unique opportunity to acquire Southern California real estate at below replacement cost.

Modest rent increases coupled with more efficient management practices will bolster investor returns going forward.

Description:
Constructed in 2014 as a build-to-suit for Charles Schwab & Company, this property is located in Overland Park, one of the highest income, high growth corridors of Johnson County, Kansas. Charles Schwab (NASDAQ: SCHW) is a publicly traded company with a Standard & Poor’s A+ credit rating.
Purchased subject to a 10 year triple net, fully guaranteed corporate lease, plus three 5 year options, each with 10% rent increases, this investment will generate solid, growing returns over the next 20+ years, with virtually no landlord responsibilities.
The hard corner signalized intersection where the property is located boasts daily traffic counts of over 50,000 cars per day, and the average household incomes within a 1 mile radius of the property exceed $145,000 annually.

This investment will provide MPC investors with a truly passive income by producing immediate cash flow in excess of 6%, with steady increases over the life of the tenancy.
New Yorker Apartments
Description:

This midrise community features a unique unit mix of studio, one, and two bedroom apartments all of which have been thoughtfully restored to maintain their authentic vintage ambiance. Common area amenities include on site laundry facility, off street parking, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard appointed with a koi pond.
The Opportunity:
McKee Private Capital purchased the New Yorker Apartments in September, 2017, marking our first expansion into the Bakersfield market. MPC raised equity from two private investors and utilized Freddie Mac’s small balance loan program, which features a 36 month interest only period. MPC investment projections indicate that this investment will generate a cash on cash yield in excess of 9% per annum. With limited supply in the pipeline and Bakersfield citywide vacancy rates averaging just 2.3%, investors can expect outsized cash on cash returns with their participation in this investment.
The Reserve at 5th
Description:
The Reserve at 5th consists of 5 two-story townhouse apartment buildings which are situated on a 1.59 acre site. The garden style community features a desirable unit mix of two-bedroom/1.5-bathroom townhouses which are appointed with high end finishes including granite countertops and in suite laundry appliances.
MPC Strategy:
Located four miles east of Eugene, the city of Springfield has experienced a housing shortage in recent years and has an average vacancy rate of just 2% as a result. McKee Private Capital identified this asset as a replacement property for a 1031 exchange and successfully closed the transaction in December, 2017, marking its first acquisition in the state of Oregon. We obtained financing through Freddie Mac’s small balance loan program. In addition to monthly cash distributions, investors can expect steady appreciation in asset value given the underlying fundamentals in this growing market.
Eastbrook Apartments
Market Overview:
Cushing, OK is located 70 miles northeast of Oklahoma City and just 20 miles east of Stillwater, which is home to the main campus of Oklahoma State University. Apartment vacancy rates in this submarket are sub 5% as a result of low apartment housing inventory and limited supply in the pipeline. Additionally, Cushing is one of the largest oil storage locations in the country.
Property Description:
Eastbrook Apartments is comprised of 9 single story multifamily apartment buildings. The community features a well balanced mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments totaling 22,000 rentable square feet. A portion of tenant rent payments are government subsidized as specified in the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract.
The Opportunity:
Eastbrook will provide investors with the opportunity to acquire a stabilized asset in a supply constrained market. While the property is subject to affordable restrictions through 2032, existing contract rents are substantially above market. And given the nature of the HAP contract, Eastbrook has zero exposure to market rent reductions for the term of the contract providing investors with a truly risk adjusted yield. This investment should generate solid, double-digit returns to investors each month.
Sunrise Gardens
Description:
Sunrise Gardens is comprised of one, three-story multifamily apartment building with a total of 69,745 rentable square feet. The community features a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with an average unit size of 742 square feet.

The property benefits from close proximity to the Gateway Mall, Lincoln’s largest shopping center.
The Opportunity:
Sunrise Gardens will provide investors with the opportunity to acquire a stabilized asset at below replacement cost. With ever greater numbers of baby boomers looking to downsize in retirement, this asset is well positioned to benefit from demographic trends. Modest rent increases coupled with more efficient management practices will bolster investor returns going forward. We anticipate investor cash on cash returns in excess of 6% year one with subsequent increases as we benefit from fixed debt service payments for the term of the investment.

MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital continued to expand its geographic footprint, entering Wyoming for the first time in May, 2020, and expanding our LIHTC tax credit portfolio. Capital Greens was packaged with another asset, River Run Apartments, located in Laramie, Wyoming, and we were able to purchase both assets at favorable terms. We also benefited from historically low interest rates, locking in a 3.25% rate on a 10 year fixed term with Freddie Mac. Year 1 investor dividends are projected at 7.5% annually.
We have retained the services of Syringa Property Management located in Boise, Idaho, a specialist in LIHTC properties, and active in the Wyoming market.

MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital continued to expand its geographic footprint, entering Wyoming for the first time in May, 2020, and expanding our LIHTC tax credit portfolio.

We also benefited from historically low interest rates, locking in a 3.27% rate on a 10 year fixed term with Freddie Mac. Year 1 investor dividends are projected at 7.5% annually.
We have retained the services of Syringa Property Management located in Boise, Idaho, a specialist in LIHTC properties, and active in the Wyoming market.

While operations were stable under previous ownership, MPC is confident that meaningful NOI growth is achievable through more aggressive leasing and expense control.

Eight years of interest only payments were negotiated helping bolster strong returns over the term of investment.
With ever greater numbers of baby boomers looking to downsize in retirement, this senior housing asset is well positioned to benefit from demographic trends. Modest rent increases coupled with more efficient management practices will deliver steady, durable returns going forward.

Closed Investments
Lehigh Acres
Financial Performance:
Total Cumulative Investor Distributions: N/A
Description:
16 single family homes, built between 2005-2006 in Lehigh Acres, FL, east of Ft. Myers, and just 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Homes range in size from 3BR/2BA to 4BR/2.5BA and are situated on ¼ acre lots. Features include upgraded appliances, laundry rooms, tile floors, large screened lanais and two car garages.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased 16 vacant residential lots in Lehigh Acres, FL in 2004, at an average cost of $10,625, and obtained 100% construction financing to develop new single family homes for investment.
The timing of this investment was good, and we were able to sell 10 of the 16 homes prior to the market collapse at profits ranging from $75,000 to $125,000 per house. Our leverage on these homes was enormous given the ability to finance 100% of the development cost. The remaining 6 homes remain in our investment rental portfolio, and are currently 100% occupied. The continued growth in Southwest Florida is impressive, and we are happy to hold these remaining homes for long-term capital gains.
Carriage House
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $1,760,000
IRR: 11.06%
Equity Multiple: 1.08X
Description:
Carriage House consists of 12 two and one-half-story buildings situated on 9 acres in southwest Topeka, Kansas. This garden style community features one and two bedroom apartment homes. Common area amenities include two swimming pools, a community clubhouse, on site laundry facilities in each building, and abundant off street parking. Beautifully landscaped courtyards provide residents with a serene setting within the capital city of Kansas.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Carriage House in 2008, sourcing equity contributions from ten investors. MPC was able to acquire the property well below replacement cost due to above market vacancy and high delinquencies that existed prior to takeover. Investors enjoyed monthly cash flow distributions during the first six years of operations. However, during the Great Recession, Topeka began to experience economic decline, resulting in a surge of unemployment, and resulting in large numbers of resident defaults. Many of the better qualified residents upgraded to single family home rentals and purchases, made possible by the glut of foreclosures in the market. This major shift had a negative impact on overall property operations and liquidity. MPC ultimately made the difficult decision to take a minimal loss and exit this investment in 2015. We feel it is important to mention that MPC held a majority ownership interest in Carriage House, as is the case with most of MPC’s investments.
Northside Gardens
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $690,000
IRR: 13.57%
Equity Multiple: 1.95X

Community amenities include two swimming pools, a laundry facility, a community clubhouse, and two tennis courts.
MPC Strategy:
In 2006, McKee Private Capital expanded into the Southeast region of the U.S. with the acquisition of Northside Gardens. MPC purchased the real estate at a significant discount to replacement cost alongside one equity partner. Property operations remained stable throughout MPC’s holding period providing investors with consistent monthly cash flow for nearly nine years. Given the age of the asset, and impending capital investment requirements, MPC made the decision to sell in January, 2015, realizing a profit on the sale. Sale proceeds, coupled with the years of cash flow provided our ownership entity with an internal rate of return in excess of 10% over the term of the investment.
White Lakes Plaza
Financial Performance:
Original Capital Investment: $1,792,503
IRR: 10%

Common area amenities include our resort style swimming pool, community clubhouse, on site laundry facility, and covered parking.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased White Lakes Plaza in 2006 after having success with another apartment investment in the nearby Kansas City market. As a condition of the purchase, MPC assumed the Seller’s conduit loan which featured an above market interest rate. After the yield maintenance provision expired, MPC refinanced White Lakes Plaza and pulled out cash for various property improvements which helped drive significant rent increases. Recognizing impending capital needs including roof and parking lot replacement, MPC decided to divest White Lakes Plaza in 2017 and completed a successful 1031 exchange into a newer single tenant asset located in Overland Park, KS.

Community amenities include laundry facilities in each building, off street parking, and storage lockers for rent.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Governor’s Court in 2007 after having established a presence in the nearby Kansas City market. Given this property’s close proximity to Kansas City and the favorable market demographics of Johnson County, MPC was able to realize immediate rent growth post acquisition resulting in strong investor returns over the term of the investment. MPC decided to divest Governor’s Court in 2017 and completed a successful 1031 exchange into a brand new multifamily asset located in Springfield, Oregon.

In 2005, McKee Private Capital expanded its footprint to include the Midwest with the acquisition of Northeast View Apartments. MPC paid less than 50% of replacement cost allowing for a debt coverage ratio in excess of 1.5 and an acquisition cap rate of nearly 11%. Property operations remained stable throughout MPC’s holding period providing investors with consistent, double-digit cash on cash returns each month. Investor demand for Project Based Section 8 assets has surged since 2005, which prompted MPC to take Northeast View to market in 2014. The property sold in the first quarter of 2015 to a non-profit group at an above market sales price securing investors tremendous appreciation on their initial equity. Northeast View exceeded MPC’s initial investment projections.

Market Overview:
Cushing, OK is located 70 miles northeast of Oklahoma City and just 20 miles east of Stillwater, which is home to the main campus of Oklahoma State University.

The ruins of Fort Sanders, an army fort predating Laramie, lie just south of the city along Route 287. Located in the Laramie Valley between the Snowy Range and the Laramie Range, the city draws outdoor enthusiasts because of its abundance of outdoor activities including skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and hiking.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital continued to expand its geographic footprint, entering Wyoming for the first time in May, 2020, and expanding our LIHTC tax credit portfolio. River Run was packaged with another asset, Capital Greens Apartments, located in Cheyenne, WY and we were able to purchase both assets at favorable terms. We also benefited from historically low interest rates, locking in a 3.27% rate on a 10 year fixed term with Freddie Mac. Year 1 investor dividends are projected at 7.5% annually.
We have retained the services of Syringa Property Management located in Boise, Idaho, a specialist in LIHTC properties, and active in the Wyoming market.
Oakshire Senior Apartments
Description:
Oakshire Senior Apartments consists of 1 three-story apartment building situated on a parcel totaling approximately 2.9 acres in Reading, PA. Reading is centrally located in southeast Pennsylvania, within 60 miles of major metropolises such as Philadelphia, Lancaster, and Harrisburg.

MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Oakshire Senior in December 2020, marking our first expansion into the Pennsylvania market. MPC raised equity from five private investors, two of whom were in exchange, and fixed rate debt financing was provided by Freddie Mac.
While operations were stable under previous ownership, MPC is confident that meaningful NOI growth is achievable through more aggressive leasing and expense control. Physical occupancy rates among similar type properties in Reading have averaged 95%+ for the past three years providing proof of concept to our improved occupancy projections under new ownership. Year 1 investor dividends are projected at 7% annually.
Westmont Apartments
Description:
Westmont Apartments is a newly constructed (2015) apartment community located in Cave Springs, VA, a bedroom community of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain city of Roanoke, VA. The property is situated on 2.35 acres and is comprised of four 12 unit buildings. Units are upgraded with individual outdoor balconies, hardwood / tile floors, stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, walk-in closets, and washer/dryer sets in each unit.

MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Westmont Apartments in August, 2021, adding to our expansion into the Atlantic / Eastern Seaboard.
Equity was raised from five private investors, three of whom identified Westmont Apartments as their replacement property to satisfy their 1031 tax deferred exchange. The property was purchased for all cash, and the tenancy in common structure will provide our investors the flexibility to finance the property and deploy a portion of their equity into other opportunities that might come our way.
Monthly dividend distributions to our investors commenced on October 5, 2021.
Pioneer Townhomes
Description:
Pioneer Townhomes is a newly constructed (2019) apartment community located in the Eugene-Springfield MSA just four miles east of the University of Oregon.

The property is situated on two acres and is comprised of seven two-story buildings. The townhomes are upgraded with plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, dishwashers, private yards and washer/dryer sets in each unit.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital previously purchased a 38 unit community directly adjacent to Pioneer Townhomes in 2017. The two communities will be operated as one providing operational efficiencies that come with greater scale. Apartment occupancy in the Eugene-Springfield market is extremely tight with current reported vacancies running sub five percent.

Community amenities include a beauty salon, two elevators, library, computer center, covered off-street parking and common area dining room.
MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Prime Square in April 2023, marking our first expansion into the state of Iowa. MPC raised equity from six private investors and fixed rate debt financing with Fannie Mae was provided by Greystone Servicing Company. Eight years of interest only payments were negotiated helping bolster strong returns over the term of investment.
With ever greater numbers of baby boomers looking to downsize in retirement, this senior housing asset is well positioned to benefit from demographic trends. Modest rent increases coupled with more efficient management practices will deliver steady, durable returns going forward.
Elkhorn Meadows Apartments
Description:
Elkhorn Meadows was placed into service in 2009, and is comprised of 23-1 Bedroom, 49-2 Bedroom, and 24-3 bedroom units. The units are income restricted to households earning no more than 40-60% of the Natrona County area median income.

MPC Strategy:
McKee Private Capital purchased Elkhorn Meadows in November 2024. MPC raised equity from eleven private investors with debt financing provided by Greystone Servicing Company. Ten years of interest only payments were negotiated helping bolster strong returns over the term of investment.
This investment was purchased at a significant discount to replacement cost, which will be the primary driver of investor returns over the ten year term. Fixed rate, interest only debt payments will provide a solid foundation as we look to improve operations.
