Pine Valley Estates

OCMI’s acquisition of Pine Valley Estates highlights our ability to uncover hidden opportunities in challenging markets. Secured during the 2006 Mountain Pine Beetle infestation, this 76-unit rental complex in Prince George was purchased when others were exiting the area. Our contrarian strategy and thorough market analysis allowed us to capitalize on the region’s resilience, leading to outstanding returns for our investors and proving the value of a well-timed investment.

Project Overview:

OCMI’s acquisition of Pine Valley Estates showcases our contrarian approach to investment, securing a 76-unit, condo-quality rental complex in Prince George during the peak of the 2006 Mountain Pine Beetle infestation. While others retreated, our research revealed the resilience of the area, particularly as the Energy Capital of the North, leading to a highly successful investment.

Strategic Implementation:

1. Contrarian Market Entry: Acquired at a time when most investors were exiting the region, capitalizing on undervalued assets with long-term potential.
2. In-Depth Market Research: Our analysis demonstrated the sustainability of Prince George during the downturn, ensuring continued demand for quality rental housing.
3. Optimized Cash Flow: Investors enjoyed a 45% annualized cash-on-cash return over a ten-year period, underscoring the success of our strategy.

Impact and Results:

Pine Valley Estates stands as a testament to OCMI’s ability to recognize and act on high-value opportunities in challenging markets. By taking a contrarian approach, we delivered substantial returns to our investors, proving that with the right insight, risk can translate into remarkable reward.
