Business Context and Reporting Period
NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on December 29, 2016, reporting the completion of a significant asset acquisition. The Company operates as a real estate investment trust focused on residential properties.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Acquisition Cost: Approximately $108 million.
- Assets Acquired: The "H2 Portfolio" in Houston, Texas, consisting of Old Farm Apartment Homes (734 units, built 1998) and Stone Creek at Old Farm Apartments (190 units, built 1999).
- Land Area: 35.1 acres of contiguous land.
- Financing: Fully funded with borrowings of approximately $108 million under credit facilities with KeyBank National Association and Freddie Mac.
- Credit Facility Expansion: The Freddie Mac credit facility was expanded to $300.0 million.
- Projected Loan-to-Value (LTV): Management expects the LTV to stabilize at approximately 55%.
Material Changes and Strategy
The acquisition was structured as a reverse 1031 exchange. This transaction aligns with the Company's strategy to recycle capital from dispositions in non-core markets into well-located, "covered-land" assets in longer-term target markets. No prior comparable period financial metrics are provided in this specific filing as it reports a discrete event rather than periodic operating results.
