Multifamily Acquisitions in Miami
Miami is a real institutional market — the deepest tenant demand in Florida for high-income, credit-tenant renters, and a genuinely global capital pool competing for A-quality assets. KADAK engages selectively where insurance premiums and per-door pricing both pencil for a durable long-hold yield.

Market Brief
KADAK's View of the Miami Multifamily Market
Demand Drivers
The finance migration into Miami (Citadel, the growing hedge-fund and private-capital cluster in Brickell, Blackstone's expanding footprint), the sustained tech and family-office in-migration, and the credit-tenant employment base across Brickell, Coral Gables, Aventura, and the airport corridor produce renter demand that is qualitatively different from anywhere else in Florida. Retention economics on top-tier Class A support defensible long-hold underwriting when basis is right.
Renter Profile
Miami's renter cohort is the kind that pays rent, renews, and treats an apartment community like a home — durable household incomes, real employment ties, and retention economics that survive a cycle.
Supply and Concession Risk
Any pricing on Miami product is underwritten against current effective rents and the visible new-construction pipeline — not trailing pro forma growth. Concessions on recent lease-ups are modeled explicitly.
Tax, Insurance, and Operating Risk
Miami insurance premiums have run 20–40% year-over-year through recent renewals in many corridors. We bind current-market quotes on every underwriting, stress the renewal path, and price the deal against the insurance line explicitly. Communities where insurance alone consumes 12–18% of gross rent are usually not investments. Miami-Dade reassessment on trade is aggressive; modeled to purchase price under county methodology. Selective, honest, and fast. If insurance and per-door pencil, we engage. If not, we say so quickly.
Acquisition Fit
Trophy Miami Class A per-door reached numbers that do not underwrite for a durable long-hold yield at the current cap-rate environment. Where 2018–2022 vintage well-located A- or B+ has re-priced meaningfully, we engage.
What KADAK Wants to See Before LOI
Before an LOI on Miami, KADAK expects a complete OM, current rent roll, T-12, insurance-carrier quote, debt package, and time on-site. What we avoid: hero rent-growth pro formas, deferred-maintenance traps, weak submarket pockets, and any narrative that only works if the market keeps compressing.
Beyond the Public View
KADAK Multifamily does not rely on public web data alone for final acquisition decisions. Every deal that advances beyond initial screen requires the current rent roll, trailing-twelve financials, verified tax and insurance runs, third-party capex assessment, in-place debt documentation, submarket rent and sale comps, ownership and title verification, on-site property inspections, direct lender feedback, and formal investment committee review. Anything below is the acquisitions-team read that frames the conversation — not the underwrite.
