Analyze the offering memorandum for Tavalo Cotton Lane, a build-to-rent community, and compare the stated rents and financials to comparable BTR/single-family rental stock in the surrounding submarket. My underwriting approach is to accept the broker's assumptions only where directly supported by market comps, and I want to test sensitivity around lease-up timeline to stabilization. Using 65% LTV financing at current market rates, back into a reasonable offering price that achieves a 7% cash-on-cash return at stabilization, and flag any line items in the OM that appear out of line with the local market.

Tavalo Cotton Lane — market-tested rents and expenses cap a fundable offer near $38.0M, roughly 10% below what the broker's pro forma would imply

| Comp Average (excl. subject) | — | — | — | $1,950 | $1.77 |
Take the OM's headline "9% below comp average" at face value and you'd think Tavalo is underpriced on rent. It isn't — that reading ignores unit size. Comp average unit size is 1,105 SF against Tavalo's 877 SF, so on a $/SF basis Tavalo runs ahead of the comp set ($2.10 vs. $1.77) . Checked against the datamart's true single-family-rental index for this submarket — detached/attached houses, not garden apartments — Tavalo's 2BR asking ($1,975, $2.04/SF) lines up almost exactly with the SFR 2BR benchmark ($2,101, $2.08/SF), and its 3BR ($2,415, $1.89/SF) sits close to the SFR 3BR benchmark ($2,314, $1.68/SF) . Rents are not the aggressive assumption here.
What is aggressive: the OpEx ratio and the occupancy path. The OM's pro forma runs total operating expenses at 32.8% of gross operating income — nearly 700bps below the Maricopa County multifamily benchmark of 39.9% of EGI, even after allowing for a 2024-vintage asset with light near-term repair needs . Two lines carry the gap: G&A drops to 1.5% of GOI (benchmark 3.6%) and repairs & maintenance to 0.9% (benchmark 5.3%) . The pro forma also assumes 95% stabilized physical occupancy, while the Litchfield submarket's multifamily occupancy is averaging 88.5% and has fallen 330bps over the trailing year — Tavalo's own T-1 actual occupancy (92.7%) is healthier than the submarket, reflecting new-vintage quality, but 95% asks for more than either the asset's own trend or the submarket supports. And the OM's stated 8% pro forma concession assumption doesn't reconcile with its own burn-off schedule, which shows monthly concession loss collapsing from $21,897 to $4,650 (under 2% of pro forma GPR) within the underwriting year — an internal inconsistency that, if anything, argues concessions should normalize faster than the pro forma implies, not slower.
| Line | OM Pro Forma | Underwritten (this model) |
|---|---|---|
| Effective Gross Income | $3,286,7381 | $3,540,2441 |

Backing into price. T-1 actual (through August 2026) is the only verified operating fact here — GPR $3,055,572, physical + concession + economic loss of $520,438, other income $540,270, total OpEx $1,151,818, NOI $1,923,586 . Layering a 12-month lease-up ramp to 93.5% stabilized occupancy, 5%/3.5%/3% rent growth tapering into a 3% long-run rate, and county-benchmarked expense growth onto that base, then financing at 65% LTV / 5.93% (Freddie Mac CME 10-year, current multifamily quote at that leverage point) and solving for the price that clears a 7.0% average cash-on-cash return: $38,000,000 ($263,889/unit) . At that price the deal underwrites to a 5.06% T-1 cap rate, a 6.16% Year-1 cap rate, a 1.60x going-in DSCR, a 7.79% debt yield, a 15.4% levered IRR and 1.93x equity multiple over a 5-year hold — comfortably above the 1.25x lender floor and roughly in line with Phoenix's 5.25% multifamily / 4.95% SFR market cap rates . Reverse the OM's own pro forma NOI through the 5.25% market cap instead, and it implies value north of $42M — the ~$4M gap is exactly the OpEx-ratio and occupancy optimism flagged above, not a market-rent story.
| Scenario | Occupancy Path | Year-1 Rent Growth | Supportable Offering Price | Levered IRR | Going-In DSCR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fast (~6 months to stabilize) | 94.5% Yr1, 94.0% Yr2+ | 6.0% | $38,900,0001 | 15.2% | 1.61x |

| Slow (~18-24 months to stabilize) | 89.5% Yr1, 91.5% Yr2, 93.0% Yr3+ | 3.0% | $36,600,0001 | 15.2% | 1.54x |
Lease-up pace matters less than you'd expect at this leverage — full IO financing at 65% LTV absorbs most of the near-term cash-flow drag, so a slow-to-stabilize scenario costs about 6% of supportable price ($36.6M vs. $38.9M fast case), not the double-digit swing a more levered or amortizing structure would produce . That's the good news: the deal isn't fragile to lease-up timing. The bad news for the ask: even the fast case tops out under $39M, well shy of what the OM's own pro forma would want to support.
Bottom line: CONDITIONAL GO at or below ~$38.0M. The rent thesis holds — Tavalo is priced appropriately against true BTR/SFR comps once you control for unit size, and the concession burn-off is real, contractual NOI upside. The OM's expense ratio and stabilized-occupancy assumptions don't hold against county and submarket benchmarks, and that's the gap between our number and the broker's. If Northmarq's guidance comes in materially above $38.0M, the conversation is about which of those two assumptions they think justifies it — not about rent.
