SAN FRANCISCO, CA (NOVEMBER 2018) — Travis Pacoe and Ron Abta, principal investors and managers of multifamily properties in the mid-western and central United States, have sold Fireside Apartments in Colorado Springs, CO. This sale is the seventh full-cycle capital event of their current portfolio – properties acquired, improved and then sold.
“Fireside was essentially a distressed asset when we purchased it in 2012, with significant deferred maintenance and a challenging resident profile. It required the investment of considerable capital into the property to improve the resident experience and operations in general. We increased income to the point that, in late 2014, we were successful in extracting 98% of our total equity investment through a refinance,” noted Travis Pacoe, managing general partner of Polaris Real Estate Partners. “Ultimately, we sold Fireside for 3.4 times what we paid. We are planning to complete a 1031 exchange with the proceeds, allowing our Fireside investors to defer capital gains taxes while additionally providing equity in a new investment for non-trading investors who wish to join us.”
