Business Model
The playbook: acquire dated Sunbelt communities, renovate units at high returns on cost, push rents, and recycle. Executed well for a decade, amplified by leverage that runs above sector norms and rate hedges that management trades actively. Buybacks at discounts to stated NAV have been aggressive, insiders eat their own cooking conspicuously.
The Honest Risk Section
Leverage cuts both ways in a rate cycle (hedges roll off; refinancings reprice), workforce tenants feel recessions first, external management by the NexPoint platform carries related-party complexity our framework discounts, and the value-add engine needs stable renovation costs. Torque, not stability.
