Market Brief
KADAK's View of the Sanford / Lake Mary Multifamily Market
Demand Drivers
Lake Mary is Orlando's most durable corporate corridor. AAA's national headquarters, Deloitte, Fiserv, JPMorgan Chase's Lake Mary campus, and the broader Heathrow business cluster produce a genuine white-collar renter base. Renewal behavior at Class A- and B+ Lake Mary product outperforms the Orlando median quarter after quarter.
Renter Profile
Seminole County schools are top-decile in Florida and a real retention lever. Households choosing Lake Mary and Sanford for schools tend to stay through renewal cycles — an underwriting variable we credit explicitly.
Supply and Concession Risk
Lake Mary and Sanford have been more disciplined on deliveries than Lake Nona or ChampionsGate. Well-located Class A- product has held effective rent unusually well through the 2023–2024 cycle. Basis on 2015–2022 vintage remains defensible.
Tax, Insurance, and Operating Risk
Inland Seminole County carries the Orlando premium advantage on insurance. Seminole County reassessment on trade is aggressive; modeled to purchase price.

What KADAK Wants to See Before LOI
Before an LOI on Sanford / Lake Mary, 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.
