A Memphis-based real estate agent purchased an apartment complex just south of Cooper Young last week, with the help of out-of-town partners.
April Hua — a former FedEx pricing analyst who has spent the last decade as a real estate agent — paid $3.6 million for 1103 S. Cooper St., which is located at the southwest corner of Cooper and the Southern Avenue train tracks. The previous owner bought it in 2017 for $2.7 million, according to the real estate data website Reonomy.
Hua said she and her partners plan to make some renovations this year, followed by as much as $500,000 in renovations next year.
"The renovations [will] make it beautiful inside and out," Hua said. "When people come [down] Cooper Street, they [will] see the apartments' beauty."
The property's 80 units are currently renting for about $700 per month, but Hua is hoping to raise rents by about $150. The property produced about $600,000 in revenue in 2019, according to Reonomy. The apartment complex is Hua's first. She said she hopes to purchase more, if this investment proves successful.
