The Flood, the Insurance Settlement, and the Recovery Plan

On June 14, 2026, a citywide flash flood put roughly 8 inches of water into the building — a declared flood emergency for Waco, not a result of any building deficiency. The property's NFIP flood policy carried a $500,000 coverage limit. In July the carrier issued a $40,000 progress payment, paid directly to the remediation contractor for repair work completed to date. On August 31, the carrier issued the final settlement of $460,000, bringing total insurance proceeds to the full $500,000 policy limit. The flood insurance claim is now fully settled. The settlement funds are held in a dedicated property account and are earmarked to complete the remaining unit repairs.

29 units (2,540 SF) remain unrentable pending repair completion, down from 35 units (3,230 SF) in July — 6 units returned to service during August. With the July rent waiver behind the property, management shifted its retention and lease-up strategy in August to a temporary reduction in market rental rates combined with increased marketing spend, aiming to rebuild occupancy following the flood-driven decline. These measures have already produced new move-ins, and management's stated target is to restore occupancy to 90% or higher in the coming months.

Ownership's plan for the next 60 days: apply the settlement proceeds to complete remediation on the remaining 29 units, return them to service, and monitor the rate reduction's effect on leasing velocity so pricing can normalize as occupancy recovers.

Highlights & Priorities

POSITIVE
Flood insurance claim fully settled: the $460,000 final payment received August 31 completes the full $500,000 NFIP policy limit ($40,000 progress payment in July + $460,000 final settlement in August). The property now holds the funds needed to finish remaining repairs.
WATCH
Occupancy softened further in August: 333 of 509 units occupied (65.4% all-in; 72.4% on a rentable-SF basis), as move-outs (43) continued to outpace move-ins (22). Management responded with a temporary rate reduction and expanded marketing rather than another rent waiver.
WATCH
29 units (2,540 SF) remain unrentable pending repair completion, down from 35 units in July. Now that the insurance settlement is in hand, this should move faster.
FOCUS
Next 60 days: complete repairs on the remaining unrentable units using settlement proceeds, evaluate the rate reduction's effect on move-in volume, and work occupancy back toward the 90%+ target.
