Executive summary

Lockhart Farms was built in 2023 and is currently 92% occupied. Lockhart, Texas, known as the “Barbecue Capital of Texas”, is located only 30 miles southeast of Austin and 70 miles from San Antonio.

This community offers top-of-the-line amenities, including granite countertops, a resort-style swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, beautiful modern clubhouse, playground, business center and more.
The property has a 100% real estate tax exemption via the Texas Chapter 394 Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) structure where the land is owned by the Capital Area Housing Finance Corporation and the improvements are leased back to the Partnership.

Investment highlights
100% Real estate tax exemption
Due to unique, highly desirable Texas Chapter 394 Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) structure, Lockhart Farms protects a new owner from burdensome real estate tax expenses and future reassessment risk.
Attractive in-place financing
The property has a HUD 221(D)(4) fully amortizing loan with an astonishing low interest rate of 2.94%. Stepping into the Partnership removes interest rate risk and allows you to benefit from a rate that is more than 300 bps lower than market.
Strong MSA
Lockhart is located within the Austin MSA where AMI has experienced a cumulative growth of 25.4% over the last three years. In 2025, AMI is expected to grow another 3.3%. The population of the city of Lockart is expected to double by 2040.
Significant discount to replacement cost
With skyrocketing construction costs, interest rate volatility, and supply constraints, a new owner will benefit from a cost basis significantly below replacement cost.
Attractive partnership structure
The incoming SLP will benefit from a potential $350k annual incentive management fee and 43% of proceeds from a capital transaction.
