JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IHT Realty Crowdfunding announced on Thursday a new program that will offer investors a guaranteed six-month return regardless of how early the property sells.

This new program comes following the company's latest investment offering of a duplex property at 3730 Lehigh Street. The investment is being sponsored by Lenger Financial, Inc., which seeks to raise $80,000 in funds for renovations to the Brentwood property.

Lenger Financial is a Jacksonville-based capital management firm that specializes in asset management, investment advisement and financial architecture. The firm's primary real estate focus areas include single- family, mid-to-small multifamily, manufactured homes and boutique structure ventures.

Built in 1944, the two-story brick building sits on a quarter-acre lot and includes two bedrooms and one bathroom per unit, which equates to about 900-square-feet per apartment. The building is structurally sound and includes a newly installed roof.

Additional upgrades and projected renovations include a new HVAC system with ducting, new flooring, an updated kitchen and new appliances, a new fire escape and entrance stairway, exterior painting, as well as landscaping and fencing.

Lenger Financial is offering a strong debt coverage ratio of 1.28 with an excellent after repair value (ARV) of 74 percent. The sponsor is projecting a gross annual income of $15,590 and a projected net operating income of $10,443.
