180 Unit Class A multifamily investment opportunity in the rapidly growing Dallas Metro area.
Windmill Investments, LLC is a private real estate investment firm. With over 100 years of collective experience, Windmill seeks out high cash flow multifamily apartments located in growth regions of the U.S. and applies operational expertise to consistently deliver double-digit returns. Over the past three decades, Windmill’s executive team has invested in over $100M of assets in 10 diverse U.S. markets.
The current market imbalance caused by the deleveraging of financial markets offers an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy real estate at extremely low prices. The combination of low interest rates, decreasing home ownership, increased demand for rental apartments and the lack of new apartments built since 2008 provides significant rewards for savvy real estate investors.
Using proprietary market analysis, we identify high-growth regions and then invest considerable time and energy in the region to seek out undervalued or underperforming assets with strong upside earning potential. Although we believe all of our investments have significant appreciation potential, the basis of our investment philosophy is that the fundamental value of any property comes from operational cash flow.
Windmill’s objective is to incur minimal costs to commit capital to opportunities that provide stable returns. We place a premium on protecting and preserving our investors’ capital. We stand behind our commitment to investors by having a fee structure based primarily on performance.

* Distributions to be issued quarterly subject to available distributable cash flow
As an Investor Member in Timber Oaks Partners, LLC you will own a percentage interest in the equity of Timber Oaks Apartments and team up with an experienced multifamily acquirer and operator. Windmill Investments, LLC (“Windmill”) has a strong track record of successfully delivering investor returns on multifamily properties located in Oregon, Texas and South Carolina. Windmill currently has over 1,300 units under management in its portfolio and will crest 1,500 units with the acquisition of Timber Oaks. Windmill recently disposed of two assets and delivered returns that vastly exceeded expectations.
Windmill is offering for the first time via the web, the ability for accredited investors to co-invest in Timber Oaks. Your funds will be invested alongside Windmill’s own cash investment of $300,000 and its existing network of accredited investors and its institutional capital partner.
Windmill is offering to CrowdStreet investor members an 8% cumulative internal rate of return (“IRR”) preferred return. Once 100% of CrowdStreet investor member capital is returned and the preferred return is paid, Windmill will share in excess profits up to a 17% cumulative IRR. Above a 17% IRR, Windmill will share in 50% of excess profits. If the investment performs as contemplated in the pro forma, CrowdStreet investors are targeted to receive annual cash on cash returns of 7.1% (which begins at 5.4% in year 1 and grows each year) and a cumulative IRR of 17.8%.
Beginning approximately 100 days after your investment is finalized, Windmill will commence a quarterly distribution, the amount of which will depend upon available distributable cash flow. The pro forma contemplates distributable cash flow beginning at a 5% yield in Year 1 of the holding period and growing to 8.6% by Year 5. Your investment capital, along with Windmill’s capital and that of its co-investors and a private equity partner, plus the assumption of a first mortgage, will be used to fund the acquisition of the property.
As part of the acquisition, Windmill is assuming a Fannie Mae first mortgage that matures in 2022. The estimated outstanding balance at the time of acquisition is approximately $12,600,000. The interest rate is fixed at 3.89% on a 30-year amortization schedule.
Windmill is acquiring Timber Oaks at 7.3% capitalization rate on trailing income (defined as the property’s net operating income for the previous 12 months divided by purchase price), which compares very favorably to current cap rates of 6.0% – 6.25% for similar assets in the submarket. Windmill believes this discrepancy is largely attributable to an inefficient marketing process. Windmill was approached by a direct relationship in an off-market format to acquire Timber Oaks after a previous potential buyer failed to perform. While the acquisition price remained fixed at $18,400,000, monthly operations continue to improve throughout the period the property was held off the market (e.g. the property has experienced over $10,000 of increased monthly income over the past 12 months). This off-market process suggests that Windmill may be acquiring the asset for $1,200,000 to $2,000,000 below its current full market value.
The targeted investment holding period is five years at which time Windmill Investments expects to sell the property. The exit strategy for Timber Oaks includes selling Timber Oaks as a stand-alone asset or possibly bundling it with other Windmill assets and selling it as part of a portfolio to a large institution. A portfolio sale will only be contemplated if it is deemed accretive to the business plan.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dan Carter several times over the past few years. He has a great reputation in the investment community and always keeps to his word.

The Midlothian market has seen tremendous growth over the last decade. Since 2000, the population has increased by 141% and total households have increased 130%. During this rapid growth period, a lack of new construction has allowed landlords to steadily increase rents year over year, while maintaining a submarket average occupancy in the 95% range. Median household income is comparable to the rest of the D/FW metroplex. Limited new supply will allow newer construction complexes like Timber Oaks to continue to raise rents and maintain strong occupancy for the foreseeable future.
