We are actively seeking deals in Texas and will have investments available for participation as a capital partner in the fourth quarter of 2025.
What We’re Looking For
Amethyst Projects targets value-add multifamily acquisitions in Texas markets that meet our disciplined investment criteria:
Property Profile: Class B/C, 20–100 units, purchase price between $2M and $15M (sweet spot $8–$10M).
Financial Metrics: Going-in cap rates of 5.5%–7% (or higher in tertiary markets), with below-market rents or operational inefficiencies we can improve
Value-Add Potential: Renovation budgets of $5K–$15K per unit for targeted interior and amenity upgrades, paired with operational enhancements to raise NOI by 25–30% within 2–3 years.
Market Fundamentals: Steady population growth of 0.5%–1.5%+, diverse employment bases, constrained new multifamily supply, and occupancy rates in the mid-90% range.
Why Certain Texas Cities Work
Markets such as San Antonio, the Central Texas Corridor (Waco, Temple–Killeen, Bryan–College Station), and select edge markets around Austin and Dallas fit our strategy:
Economic Diversity: Anchors in military, healthcare, tech, education, energy, and logistics ensure stable demand and reduce reliance on a single sector.
Cap Rate Advantage: Many secondary and tertiary Texas markets still trade 100–200 basis points higher than Austin or Dallas, delivering better cash yields with room for upside if institutional capital flows in.
Population & Job Growth: Cities like San Antonio grow ~1.9% annually and have absorbed recent new supply without major vacancy spikes.
Limited New Supply in Key Areas: Outside the largest metros, new apartment construction is modest, maintaining high occupancy and strong landlord leverage.
Strategic Edge Markets: Locations just beyond Austin and Dallas benefit from metro spillover growth while offering lower entry pricing and less competition.
We believe Texas’s secondary and select tertiary markets are positioned for outsized returns—strong fundamentals, attractive pricing after the post-2024 correction, and long-term demographic tailwinds.
