What is KADAK Multifamily's buy box?

Class A and Class B garden, mid-rise, and select high-rise multifamily communities in high-growth U.S. markets, typically 200+ units, with deal sizes from $25M to $150M+. We pursue core-plus, value-add, recapitalization, and select special situations. Full written criteria live on our Buy Box page.

Which markets is KADAK most active in?

Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, and Orlando are core. Mountain West and Carolinas submarkets are watch-list active. We add markets when employment, in-migration, and supply dynamics justify a permanent operating presence.

How does KADAK select a market?

Four filters: diversified employment with at least two structural drivers, durable net in-migration, credible household-formation tailwinds, and a supply picture we can underwrite at the submarket level. A market that fails any of the four — even temporarily — moves to the watch list.

Will KADAK look at tertiary or secondary markets?

Selectively. A tertiary market must have a credible primary-employer thesis, real housing-formation pressure, and submarket-level supply visibility. Story deals in thin markets without that foundation are a fast no.

What vintage and unit count does KADAK target?

Class A: typically 2015+ vintage, 200+ units, in supply-absorbing submarkets. Class B: 1995–2010 vintage, 200+ units, where a defined operating thesis can drive yield-on-cost expansion through hold. We do not chase 1970s-era deep value-add as a strategy.

Does KADAK acquire student or seniors housing?

No. Our mandate is conventional market-rate multifamily — workforce and lifestyle communities serving the broad rental population. Student, seniors, manufactured housing, and short-term rentals are outside the buy box.

How does KADAK underwrite insurance and property taxes?

Bottom-up. Insurance is built off live carrier quotes and projected forward at a rate consistent with submarket loss history — never a generic CPI bump. Taxes are modeled to assessor methodology with post-sale reassessment risk priced explicitly. Both are the difference between a real underwrite and a marketing model.

Will KADAK look at new construction or lease-up assets?

Yes — at the right basis. Class A lease-up at a meaningful discount to replacement cost is one of our highest-conviction trades in the current cycle. We will not chase stabilized pricing on partially leased rent rolls.

Market Perspective

KADAK's View of the Tampa / Orlando Multifamily Market

Demand drivers

Florida demand fundamentals are durable. We pursue Class A and Class B assets in submarkets with strong wage growth and limited new supply visibility, underwriting insurance and resiliency conservatively. The demand backdrop in Tampa / Orlando is anchored by real employment nodes, sustained household formation, and in-migration patterns that continue to support long-term multifamily absorption.

Sustained domestic in-migration from high-tax states
Diversified healthcare, defense, and tourism employment
No state income tax supports renter affordability
Strong institutional bid and refinancing liquidity

Renter profile

The Tampa / Orlando renter cohort skews toward employed professionals, dual-income households, and relocation-driven demand tied to the metro's core employers. Institutional-quality Class A- and B+ communities in strong school and employment nodes continue to command pricing power at renewal.

Supply pressure

Deliveries in Tampa / Orlando have run above trend in select submarkets during the last cycle. KADAK's underwriting reflects a realistic view of concessions, lease-up burn-off, and stabilized rent growth — not a hope-based reversion. Where new supply has already re-based Class A rents, well-located B+ product often benefits.

Insurance & tax

Insurance premiums and property tax reassessment are underwritten line-by-line in Tampa / Orlando, not borrowed from the T-12. We stress payroll, R&M, insurance, and controllable expense growth against a real operating benchmark before quoting.

Financing

We finance Tampa / Orlando acquisitions with disciplined leverage — a mix of agency, life-co, and select bank debt — with structure sized to survive a rate-and-cap-rate shock. Assumable debt at an attractive coupon is a real advantage, and we underwrite it as such.

KADAK's disciplined underwriting posture

Basis, debt, capex, and exit liquidity have to work together — not just the pro forma. KADAK will pass on Tampa / Orlando deals where the story requires perfect execution, and will engage decisively where basis, submarket fundamentals, and structure line up.
