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.

What multifamily assets does KADAK Multifamily buy in Texas?

KADAK acquires institutional-quality Class A-, B+, and strong B multifamily communities in Texas — 100+ units, preferably 1990+ vintage, in submarkets supported by employment, school districts, and durable renter demand. We pursue core-plus, light value-add, recapitalizations, assumable-debt situations, and select special situations.

Does KADAK Multifamily review off-market and brokered deals in Texas?

Yes. We actively engage both brokered offerings and off-market conversations in Texas. Complete packages — OM, T-12, current rent roll, and in-place debt summary — receive principal-level feedback within 48–72 hours, and off-market dialogue is handled with strict confidentiality.

Will KADAK Multifamily consider recapitalizations or assumable-debt deals in Texas?

Yes. Recapitalizations, GP/LP restructurings, joint ventures with existing sponsors, and assumable-debt transactions are core to our mandate in Texas — especially where the in-place capital stack has trapped a good asset and a basis reset can restore long-hold economics.

Does KADAK Multifamily partner with local property managers in Texas?

Yes. We build long-term relationships with best-in-class regional operators in Texas to manage assets we acquire. Groups with a track record on 100+ unit Class A/B communities are encouraged to introduce their platform through our operator partnership page.

How quickly does KADAK Multifamily respond on a Texas opportunity?

On complete Texas packages that fit the buy box, we provide principal-level feedback within 48–72 hours. We are direct with brokers and sellers about whether an opportunity is a fit — no false optionality, no fishing.

What kind of property managers does KADAK Multifamily partner with in Texas?

Institutional-caliber third-party managers with a track record on 100+ unit Class A- and B+ multifamily communities in Texas. Deep on-site depth in the submarket, transparent monthly reporting, and durable local relationships matter more to us than national brand.

Does KADAK consider co-GP or operating partnerships with local sponsors in Texas?

Yes. Where a Texas sponsor has a durable operating advantage — leasing, capex execution, or long-standing local relationships — we consider co-GP structures on assets that meet our institutional buy box.

What reporting standards does KADAK expect from Texas operators?

Institutional monthly financials, weekly leasing and traffic reports, quarterly capex tracking against a board-approved budget, and a clean, auditable trail on renovations — ready for a Big-Four annual audit at the fund level.

How does KADAK handle takeover and property management RFPs in Texas?

We run a structured RFP with a takeover plan, 100-day operating benchmarks, and a defined onboarding scope — from A/R clean-up and lease audit through capex sequencing. Operators active in the Texas submarkets we track are encouraged to introduce their platform.

How do Texas operators introduce their firm to KADAK?

Use the Operator Partner form on the Property Managers page. Share portfolio size, Texas unit count under management, on-site depth in the submarket, and one or two anonymized case studies. If there is fit, a principal will follow up within one business day.

What diligence materials should a Texas 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 Texas 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.

What diligence will KADAK ask a Texas 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 Texas 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.

As a Texas owner, can I explore a sale without going to market?

Yes. Off-market and pre-market Texas conversations are confidential by default. We can work under a code name where staff, lender, or market awareness is a concern, and nothing is shared with lenders, brokers, or third parties without your written go-ahead.

What will a Texas seller need to provide during diligence?

A first look needs only trailing-12 financials, the current rent roll, and a debt summary. Confirmatory diligence on a Texas asset adds leases, service contracts, tax and insurance detail, capex history, and site access. We front-load our questions so diligence is one organized pass rather than a rolling list.

Will KADAK retrade a Texas deal after going under contract?

We do not retrade on facts disclosed up front. Our Texas pricing reflects the trailing-12, current insurance quotes, and taxes re-assessed at our purchase price, so the number we sign is the number we intend to close. Price only moves if diligence uncovers something materially different from what was represented.

What does KADAK expect from a Texas property management partner?

Real presence in Texas submarkets, transparent reporting on a fixed cadence, disciplined delinquency and renewal management, and a team that will defend an underwriting assumption in a weekly call. We share full underwriting with our operators — you should know the plan you are being measured against.

How is an operator's proprietary information treated in Texas?

Fee schedules, staffing models, payroll benchmarks, and vendor pricing shared during a Texas evaluation are confidential and are never passed to a competing management firm or used as leverage in a bid against you. Portfolio references are contacted only with your permission.

What diligence does KADAK run on a Texas operator before award?

Portfolio review in and around Texas, owner references, insurance and licensing verification, a look at your reporting package and accounting stack, and a walk of a comparable managed asset. We are looking for consistency across the portfolio, not a single showcase property.

What underwriting package does KADAK provide a Texas lender?

A full model built from the trailing-12 with normalized payroll, market-quoted insurance, and taxes re-assessed at our basis, plus a unit-by-unit capex scope, the rent roll, sponsor track record, and downside cases stressed on rent and expenses. Texas exit assumptions are set at or above going-in cap rates.

How does KADAK structure debt on Texas acquisitions?

We target positive leverage at close or on a defined timeline, size to a debt-service coverage that holds in the stress case, and actively pursue assumable or attractive in-place Texas debt. We do not underwrite to cap-rate compression or rely on refinance proceeds to make the base case work.

What reporting can a lender expect after a Texas closing?

Monthly operating statements and rent rolls, quarterly variance commentary against the closing model, capex draw tracking against the approved Texas scope, and immediate notice of any event that moves coverage. Loan covenants and reserve requirements are tracked by the same team that built the underwriting.

As a Katy owner, can I explore a sale without going to market?

Yes. Off-market and pre-market Katy conversations are confidential by default. We can work under a code name where staff, lender, or market awareness is a concern, and nothing is shared with lenders, brokers, or third parties without your written go-ahead.

Market Brief

KADAK's View of the Katy Multifamily Market

Demand Drivers

Katy ISD is the single most important variable in the Katy renter case. Family renters stay through multi-year lease cycles because the school-district math is compelling, and dual-income households absorb rent growth better than the Houston average. The Energy Corridor commute is short, and the corridor's employment base (ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, and adjacent services) anchors demand.

Renter Profile

For sellers and brokers with Katy Class A- / B+ product in the Katy ISD footprint and outside the primary floodplain, KADAK is a live buyer. Send packages.

Supply and Concession Risk

Katy absorbed material 2018–2023 Class A supply. Concessions have been real. Well-located 2016–2022 vintage assets have re-based, and that's the setup KADAK looks for.

Tax, Insurance, and Operating Risk

Katy insurance premiums have risen sharply with the broader Gulf Coast market. We stress-test premiums to the current renewal market, not the T-12. Fort Bend and Harris County reassessment is modeled to purchase price.

Acquisition Fit

Katy has real, parcel-level flood variability. We underwrite to FEMA flood zone at the parcel, not the tract, and we treat repetitive-loss history as a hard filter. Communities outside the 100-year and 500-year plain are the KADAK strike zone.

What KADAK Wants to See Before LOI

Before an LOI on Katy, 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 — Katy

Underwriting, buy box, and confidentiality in Katy.

How does KADAK underwrite a Katy multifamily acquisition?

We underwrite from in-place cash flow, not projections. A Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy apartment communities?

Roughly 100+ units (200+ preferred), 1990+ vintage, Class A- through strong B, in Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy opportunities?

Off-market and pre-market Katy 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 Katy deal?

Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced Katy 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.

What brokers ask before sharing a Katy opportunity.

As a broker, how is my Katy listing information handled?

Everything you send on a Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy 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 Katy introduction?

Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced Katy 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.
