The deal

What You Are Investing In


Chad picked these five himself as the strongest points on the deal.

  • 1

    An 8% preferred return, then an 80/20 split

    You get paid first, up to 8% a year. After that the split is 80/20 in your favor.

  • 2

    Bought 23% under replacement cost

    The purchase works out to $170,000 a unit. Building the same thing today costs more than $220,000 a unit.

  • 3

    Eight minutes from downtown Louisville, on the Indiana side

    River Ridge Commerce Center sits eight miles away and supports more than 21,000 regional jobs.

  • 4

    We already run 340 apartments within ten minutes

    One of them, Gateway Crossing, is 160 apartments six minutes away, and it is distributing cash to investors quarterly.

  • 5

    A property tax discount worth $475,000 a year, locked in until 2040

    That is already on the building. It is not something anyone has to negotiate.

Why this building

Someone Else Paid to Build It. You Buy It Already Leased.


Most new apartment deals make you wait through construction, then through lease-up, before the building earns anything. The Bend is past both: it went up in 2024, it is leased, and it is collecting rent now.

Nothing needs fixing

A 2024 building has no deferred maintenance to catch up on and no renovation budget to spend before it performs.

New supply has dried up

New apartment supply across southern Indiana has fallen more than 70% from its 2022 peak, and only two projects are planned for the area. At the two properties we already own nearby, concessions are gone.

Distributions to investors are paid quarterly once the deal closes.

Where it is

Indiana Taxes, Louisville Jobs


The Bend sits in Clarksville, Indiana, eight minutes from downtown Louisville. That state line is the whole point. Residents work in the Louisville economy and pay Indiana's lower cost of living, which is what keeps the apartments full.

Three More Places That $100,000 Could Go

The table covers the two most common. These are the next three people ask about.

Choosing a different sponsor

Chad puts 10% of the money in himself and signs on the debt personally. You are investing in one named building, not a fund that buys whatever it likes later.

Lending money instead of owning

A note pays you interest and hands the building to somebody else at the end. Here the rent, the tax treatment and whatever the building is worth in five years all belong to you.

Waiting for a better time

The 1031 exchange window closes in mid to late August and the raise closes after it. In five years this is a building that has been paying you, the same balance sitting where it is, or a deal that fell short.

The deck has the full numbers, the business plan and the market detail.

For accredited investors only. $100,000 minimum.

The tax side

The Part That Lands in April


High earners pay the top rate and get the fewest deductions, because they own income rather than assets. Your share is projected to produce a passive loss of up to 80% of what you put in on your 2026 K-1, which on $100,000 is up to $80,000 against the April bill.

1031 exchange money is accepted

Money rolled straight over from selling another property, with the tax deferred. That window closes in mid to late August.

A self-directed IRA or an old 401k can invest

Distributions and the eventual sale go back into the account.

You hear from us all year

A K-1 arrives once a year, so your accountant has what they need. On top of that a written update lands every month, and a detailed performance report each quarter.

Two things your accountant will raise. A passive loss like this normally offsets passive income rather than salary, and the unused part carries forward until the property sells. Depreciation is also recaptured on sale, so this is timing rather than something permanent.

The team

Who Runs It


Chad Schieler, founder and principal of Focused Capital

Chad Schieler, founder

He invested in apartments with his own money for years before he took anybody else's, and Focused Capital has only ever bought in Indiana. The rule is nothing further than a three-hour drive, because he wants to be able to go and stand on the property.

On The Bend he is putting in 10% of the money and signing on the debt himself. It will be run by the same local team that already looks after the 340 apartments Focused Capital owns nearby.

Questions

The Things People Ask


Who can invest?

Accredited investors only, which means more than $200,000 of income on your own or more than $300,000 with a spouse in each of the last two years, or more than $1,000,000 of net worth not counting your home. This is a Rule 506(c) offering, so we verify it.

What is the minimum?

$100,000. 1031 exchange money and self-directed IRA or 401k money are accepted.

How often do I get paid?

Quarterly.

How long is my money in?

The plan is a five-year hold.

Can I use retirement money?

Yes. Self-directed IRA and 401k money is accepted.

What do I get at tax time?

A K-1 each year. For 2026 the projection is a passive loss of up to 80% of what you invested, from depreciation. Your own accountant should tell you what that means for you.

Who manages the property?

Focused Capital, with the same local team that runs the 340 apartments we already own within ten minutes.

What if I want out early?

This is an illiquid five-year investment and there is no public market for the shares, so plan on the full hold.

The Bend

The Building Is Already Leased. The Question Is Whether You Own Any of It.


312 apartments finished in 2024, eight minutes from Louisville on the Indiana side, bought for 23% less than it costs to build today. It is run by the people who already operate 340 apartments down the road.
