EL PASO, TX – Olson Capital Investments is a private real estate investment firm owned by Obin and Amariah Olson. Yield Crowd is a portal to buy YIELD tokens on the Stellar blockchain. Olson Capital Investments just bought Hacienda Heights, 129 apartment units in El Paso, TX for $7,300,000.
Commenting on their new acquisition, Principal co-founder Amariah Olson stated, “We are excited to finally buy this property. The property is in older condition, ripe for value-add. We intend to renovate the property over the next couple of years, increase rents, and ultimately, the value.”
This is the Olson’s third acquisition within a year, and one of two target acquisitions they are making from the sale of 105 apartments in Dallas, TX which they had bought, renovated and sold for a profit. Publicly traded Arbor Commercial Mortgage provided $4.035m of debt on the property, and Marcus and Millichap #1 commercial real estate investment sales brokerage and capital markets advisory in North America with Global reach, brokered the deal.
