FREX DB Series I DST
Investment Description
The Trust owns Domain at Town Centre, a 336-unit, 365,252-square-foot student-housing community near West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. The property was approximately 93% leased in March 2026 and approximately 73% pre-leased for the 2026/2027 academic year. It is leased to a Sponsor-affiliated Master Tenant, with third-party property management by GREP Atlantic.
The Trust has a $35.805 million, 10-year, fixed-rate 6.098% interest-only loan from Wells Fargo, at 47.1% loan-to-capitalization. The PPM forecasts cash-on-cash returns of 5.00% in year one, increasing to 7.69% in year ten. The FMV option can be exercised after the required holding period, but each investor independently elects cash or exchange-entity units; the 721 option is investor-optional.

Jerry Baker's Notes
Before you read these notes
Jerry Baker's Notes are his opinion, shared to help frame a conversation. They are not investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer, and they are not a substitute for the offering documents. Review the Private Placement Memorandum for complete information, including risk factors, before making any decision.
I understand · Show the notesDebt sizing is moderate at 47.1% LTC and initial debt service is interest-only, which supports forecasted cash flow. However, the effective credit support is not institutional: the Master Tenant is newly formed and capitalized by a $1.5 million affiliate demand note, with no further sponsor or affiliate funding obligation. Master Lease income should be treated as a claim on that limited-capital entity and on the underlying student-housing NOI, not a parent guarantee.
Operational risk is concentrated in WVU enrollment, academic-year leasing, and Morgantown student-housing supply. The 10-year balloon must be addressed through sale, assumption, or a post-DST restructuring/refinancing; the 7.69% year-ten forecast does not eliminate exit-cap-rate or maturity risk.
