Debt structure presents refinancing risk and potential seller motivation. The property carries $32.3M in total debt across four active loans against an $11.8M estimated sale price—a leverage ratio that appears inverted and warrants verification, though the $7.65M adjustable-rate Housing & Community Development loan originated in 2005 likely carries below-market pricing that could reset unfavorably at maturity. Two nearly simultaneous Berkadia financings in January-February 2021 ($8.3M and $8.6M) suggest either a restructuring or split loans, but missing maturity dates and rates prevent DSCR assessment. Per-unit debt of $215K against estimated $78.7K per-unit sale price signals either data integrity issues or significant negative equity, making this a potential distressed refinance or workout scenario rather than a stabilized hold.

St. Augustine Estates is a 150-unit garden-style apartment complex built in 2006 with wood-frame construction and brick exterior, rated in good condition across its 159,916 gross square feet. The three-story property sits in the 75227 zip code near Bruton Road and North St. Augustine Road with a walk score of 23, indicating car-dependent access despite proximity to White Rock Lake. No parking type, pet policy, or utility inclusions are documented in available records.

Workforce housing positioning with tight immediate affordability. The 1-mile radius shows 53.7% renter concentration and a 32.2% affordability ratio—suggesting this property targets lower-income renters with 53.8% of households earning under $50K. However, this immediate micromarket is income-constrained relative to the broader 3-mile ($56.9K median) and 5-mile ($61.2K median) rings, which display more balanced income distribution and better affordability metrics (27.3% and 25.9%, respectively). The property's competitive position depends on whether rents align with the 1-mile submarket's wage base or if it can capture spillover demand from the more affluent 3-5 mile rings—data on actual rent and job growth trends would clarify demand sustainability.

Appraisal History:

Single 2025 appraisal of $9.15M ($61.0K per unit) provides insufficient trend data to assess trajectory or market repricing. Land represents only 3.0% of total value ($278.8K), indicating minimal redevelopment optionality—the property is fully capitalized as a stabilized operating asset with limited strategic flexibility for value-add through repositioning. Zero YoY change suggests either a held or recently appraised property with no meaningful movement in the prior twelve months.

Rating trajectory masks underlying operational friction. The property's 6-month swing from 3.9 to 5.0 reflects management personnel changes (heavy praise for Priscilla and Sylvia) rather than systemic improvement—7 one-star reviews (8.1% of base) cluster around parking enforcement and a tenant safety incident (unattended stovetop), neither resolved by staffing alone. The 57 five-star reviews (66.3%) are heavily staff-centric testimonials rather than property condition assessments, suggesting management is compensating for facility constraints. Parking citations and visitor access barriers are recurring friction points that signal either undersized lot capacity or aggressive revenue enforcement, both red flags for resident churn in the affordable housing segment.
