listing
description
Kodiak Apartments — a 21-unit rental building in the northern town of Houston, BC — sold for $1.07 million in a market few investors ever consider. With aging infrastructure and limited local activity, this was never going to be a high-profile deal. But the fundamentals were there: full occupancy, a tenant waitlist, and income stability in a tight rental market.
Selling buildings like this takes more than just a listing. It takes creative thinking, independent execution, and the confidence to operate without a playbook. I sourced the buyer, qualified the opportunity, and closed the deal in a market many overlook entirely. If I can deliver results here, I can deliver them anywhere. Because sometimes the real story isn’t the building — it’s who can get it sold.
investment
thesis
An overlooked market with resilient demand and consistent occupancy — offering reliable income and a strong cap rate in a low-competition environment.
policy
context
Zoned R4 (Multifamily Residential), the site is one of only a few in Houston permitted for rental apartment use. With a fully built-out form and stable tenancy, the policy environment supports long-term rental retention — with little threat of displacement or competition.
buyer
appeal
The buyer recognized value where others didn’t: a stabilized, fully leased property with a waitlist, consistent income, and minimal capex needs. This deal moved forward because I made it easy to say yes — with clarity, responsiveness, and professional certainty in a location that typically lacks all three.
