Combined, the two properties have 125 units and 303 beds with 152,800 square feet. Each unit features a bathroom and bedroom for each student, nine-foot ceilings, washers and dryers, modern appliances and furnished common areas. Additional amenities include a pool, lounge, fitness center and surface parking with spots for each student. The properties are among some of the closest to Ole Miss and also near a hiking and biking trail.

"We're really pleased with the strong performance of this property and considering that it's a relatively new acquisition, this has already become a showcase in our portfolio," stated co-owner and Chief Marketing Officer Brian Nelson."We have found that Ole Miss has been a great draw for us based on the growing enrollment and with our first acquisition of Taylor Bend. "We believe that the university will continue a slow but steady growth and with limited new projects in the works, occupancy rates will tighten as demand continues to grow."



Molly Barr was offered as a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) structure and eligible for 1031 investors. The initial total offering price to investors for the two properties was $25,777,637 of which approximately $11.2 million came from investor equity. This was Nelson Brothers' 27th equity raise since their founding in 2007. To date, the firm has raised over $175MM from over 900 investors through the registered investment advisor and broker dealer marketplace.
