N°.02Execution

A single playbook, run end-to-end

Every stage of the platform was exercised on this portfolio — sourcing, diligence, renovation, leasing, and stabilization. The outcome was an institutional-grade asset built out of a fragmented private-owner book

I

Sourcing

Sourced off-market through Green Sea's direct relationship network. The seller was a distressed New York-based landlord in need of liquidity. Green Sea was able to achieve a stabilized unlevered yield of 10% and establish a ~150 bps yield advantage relative to stabilized market comps.

II

Diligence

Performed comprehensive pre-acquisition inspections across all 31 homes. Diligence findings fed directly into a renegotiated purchase price and a targeted renovation scope per home — work ranged from minor repairs to full gut renovations.

III

Renovation

Uniform renovation scope executed against Section 8 inspection standards: exterior, mechanical, safety, flooring, kitchen, and bath touchpoints. Single materials spec and a vetted contractor base across the portfolio — inventory-efficient, predictable, and inspection-ready on first pass.

IV

Leasing & stabilization

The full portfolio reached stabilization within seven months of acquisition. Green Sea's local team managed Section 8 paperwork, CMHA rent approvals, and inspection scheduling in parallel with rehab. Units moved directly from completed work to voucher tenants with minimal downtime.

N°.03Velocity

From 22.5% to stabilized in seven months
