Demand Drivers
Farragut sits inside KADAK's active footprint because the demand base — employment, migration, and household formation — supports a long-hold multifamily book at institutional scale.
Renter Profile
Farragut concentrates the durable higher-income renter cohort of the Knoxville MSA — top-decile Knox County school access, the Turkey Creek mixed-use and corporate core, and defensible dual-income demand from Oak Ridge, UT, and Knoxville-core commuters. Retention on well-located A- and B+ product is real.

What KADAK Wants to See Before LOI
Before an LOI on Farragut, 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.

Investor FAQ — Farragut
Underwriting, buy box, and confidentiality in Farragut.
How does KADAK underwrite a Farragut multifamily acquisition?
We underwrite from in-place cash flow, not projections. A Farragut deal is modeled off the trailing-12 with normalized payroll, insurance quoted at current market, and property taxes re-assessed at our purchase price rather than the seller's historical basis. Rent growth is held to submarket-supportable levels, loss-to-lease is verified against the current rent roll, and capex is priced from a unit-by-unit scope — not a per-door placeholder.
What return thresholds does a Farragut deal need to clear?
We look for durable going-in yield with a credible path to expansion: a stabilized yield-on-cost meaningfully above prevailing Farragut exit cap rates, positive leverage at close or on a defined timeline, and downside cases that still service debt under a stressed rent and expense scenario. We do not underwrite to cap-rate compression, and exit assumptions are set at or above going-in.
What is the buy box for Farragut apartment communities?
Roughly 100+ units (200+ preferred), 1990+ vintage, Class A- through strong B, in Farragut submarkets supported by real employment nodes, top-quartile school demand, and a basis at or below replacement cost. We actively pursue assumable or attractive in-place debt, mark-to-market rent stories, recapitalizations, and partnership restructures. We pass on 1970s capex traps, fantasy rent-growth assumptions, and overbuilt nodes without a basis advantage.
What diligence materials should a Farragut seller send with a first look?
An OM or property summary, trailing-12 operating statements, the current rent roll, and an in-place debt summary are enough for a first-round view. Complete Farragut packages that fit the buy box receive principal-level feedback within 48–72 hours — including a price indication or a clear, reasoned pass. We do not retrade on facts that were disclosed up front.
How does KADAK protect confidentiality on off-market Farragut opportunities?
Off-market and pre-market Farragut dialogue is treated as confidential by default. Materials are reviewed by the principal group only, never circulated to outside brokers or competing sponsors, and never used to approach an owner around the party who introduced us. We sign seller- or broker-form NDAs, and we will work under a code name where an owner is sensitive to staff, lender, or market awareness.
Will a broker's fee and relationship be protected on a Farragut deal?
Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced Farragut opportunities we honor the listing or introduction, pay fees per the engagement, and route all owner contact through the broker. A quiet look that does not proceed simply ends — we do not revisit the asset around the introducing party.

Brokers — Farragut
What brokers ask before sharing a Farragut opportunity.
As a broker, how is my Farragut listing information handled?
Everything you send on a Farragut asset stays inside the principal group. We do not circulate packages to other sponsors, co-brokers, or data aggregators, we do not use your materials to approach the owner around you, and we sign your firm's confidentiality agreement before receiving anything marked confidential. If we pass, the file is closed — not shelved for a later direct approach.
What diligence will KADAK ask a Farragut broker for up front?
An OM or property summary, trailing-12 operating statements, the current rent roll, and an in-place debt summary. That is enough for a first-round read on a Farragut asset. We come back with principal-level feedback in 48–72 hours — a price indication or a reasoned pass — and we hold our indication absent new facts.
Is my fee protected on a Farragut introduction?
Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced Farragut opportunities we honor the listing or introduction, pay fees per the engagement letter, and route owner contact through you. A quiet look that does not proceed simply ends.
