Market Brief

KADAK's View of the New Braunfels Multifamily Market

Demand Drivers

New Braunfels has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the country. Comal ISD and New Braunfels ISD do heavy lifting on family retention; Continental Automotive, Caterpillar-adjacent, and the broader I-35 logistics build-out anchor employment; the tourism base is a secondary, seasonal demand driver.

Renter Profile

New Braunfels'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

Deliveries into New Braunfels have been material, though better absorbed than Kyle/Buda. Class B+ assets have generally held pricing better than Class A lease-ups.

Tax, Insurance, and Operating Risk

Comal and Guadalupe County reassessment behavior is predictable but aggressive on trade. Modeled to purchase price.

Acquisition Fit

New Braunfels is a real KADAK submarket for well-located B+ product at defensible basis. Send packages.

What KADAK Wants to See Before LOI

Before an LOI on New Braunfels, 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 — New Braunfels

Underwriting, buy box, and confidentiality in New Braunfels.

How does KADAK underwrite a New Braunfels multifamily acquisition?

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

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

Off-market and pre-market New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels deal?

Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels opportunity.

As a broker, how is my New Braunfels listing information handled?

Everything you send on a New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels introduction?

Yes. On brokered and broker-introduced New Braunfels 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.
