11 New Lehigh Acres Duplexes Available with 3.75% Seller-Paid Financing

Build 2 Rent currently has 11 new construction duplexes in Lehigh Acres, Florida, all within 30 days of completion, now available to investors seeking stabilized cash flow and long-term equity growth.

These 2,364 square foot duplexes are structured with seller-paid 3.75% financing, creating a rare opportunity to lock in below-market leverage on new construction inventory in Southwest Florida.

Property Overview

Purchase Price: $549,900 Projected Rent: $3,600 per month ($43,200 annually) Loan Structure: 75% LTV | 10/6 ARM | 30-Year Term Interest Rate: 3.75% (Seller-Paid) Property Management: 1 Year Prepaid Estimated Completion: May 2026

Each property is designed to deliver stable income from day one, supported by strong rent-to-price fundamentals and conservative underwriting assumptions.

Year 1 Performance Snapshot

Projected Net Operating Income: $33,092 Projected Annual Cash Flow: $10,172 Debt Coverage Ratio: 1.44 Capitalization Rate: 6.0% Cash-on-Cash Return: 6.6%

A Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.44 indicates the property generates 44% more income than required to service the mortgage, providing margin and stability for leveraged investors.

5-Year Outlook

Assumptions include 8% annual appreciation, 5% rent growth, 3% vacancy, and 2% maintenance.

*Projected Year 5 Market Value: $807,984 *Projected Year 5 Equity Position: $436,482 *Projected 5-Year IRR: 33% *Projected 5-Year Net Profit: $277,718

These projections incorporate cash flow, principal reduction, appreciation, and depreciation benefits.

Why Lehigh Acres?

Lehigh Acres continues to emerge as one of Southwest Florida’s strongest workforce rental markets. Several factors support long-term investment fundamentals:

*Population growth within Lee County *Relative affordability compared to coastal markets like Cape Coral and Naples *Proximity to Fort Myers’ expanding healthcare, logistics, and service-sector employment base *Limited duplex inventory relative to demand *Ongoing infrastructure and retail development east of Fort Myers *As housing affordability tightens along Florida’s coast, inland rental markets like Lehigh Acres are absorbing steady tenant demand, supporting occupancy and rent growth.

Why This Structure Matters The 3.75% seller-paid interest rate materially improves leverage efficiency. When combined with 75% LTV financing and new construction durability, investors benefit from:

*Immediate positive cash flow *Reduced initial operating friction (1 year prepaid management) *Long-term appreciation exposure *Accelerated equity growth through principal paydown *Tax efficiency through depreciation

This is the type of stabilized, scalable inventory Build 2 Rent focuses on — assets that perform today while positioning investors for tomorrow.

Who This Is Designed For

This opportunity is well suited for: *Investors seeking turnkey new construction *Portfolio builders targeting scalable duplex assets *Buyers leveraging DSCR-style financing *Investors seeking below-market interest rate opportunities

Long-term holders targeting equity growth and refinance potential

Next Steps The 11 duplexes are nearing completion and available on a first-come basis.
