The Friday Footprint

Written By Lone Pine Homes

Lone Pine Homes LLC | Week of February 13, 2026

Bigfoot is the quiet force behind Lone Pine Homes LLC—always moving forward, one deliberate step at a time. He believes in progress when no one else does, proving that consistency and conviction turn long journeys into real results. Guided by the idea that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Bigfoot reminds us that great multi-family investments are built through patience, resilience, and momentum. When the path isn’t obvious, he keeps walking—and that’s how lasting communities are created.

👣 Fresh Tracks

This past week was all about momentum. Between property tours, underwriting new opportunities, and continuing to improve our existing communities, it’s clear that small, consistent steps are what compound over time. At Lone Pine Homes, we’re focused on building long-term value by being intentional — with our capital, our properties, and the communities we serve.

🏗️ Foundations in Progress

Property: 2416 Julia Ave – Charlotte, NC
Status: Refinance

  • Completed minor interior upgrades since the fall

  • Leasing activity increased following pricing reset

  • We are working with a lender to refinance out of bridge debt

Metrics:

  • Occupancy: 92% → 100%

  • Average Rent: $1213 → $1450

📍 New Tracks on the Trail

Market / Asset: Class C 32 Unit Multifamily – Charlotte, NC

We reviewed a well-located asset near our current portfolio. The fundamentals were solid, and our economies of scale peaked our interest. We are currently in negotiations with the seller for these 32 units.

Outcome: Negotiations

Takeaway: Discipline protects downside. Not every good property is a good deal.  We will stick to our numbers and see if the owner will accept our terms. Stay tuned.

Deals Underwritten this week: 6

Letter of Intent Sent: 4

🏘️ Community Footprints

At 2416 Julia, we partnered with a local contractor to be on standby during the unusual cold spell Charlotte has been experiencing. While it wasn’t needed, this logistical move would have improved response times for any furnace repairs and an improved overall resident experience — a core part of how we think about “community” beyond just numbers.

🦶 Local Sightings

An off-market lead surfaced this week through a local broker relationship we’ve been nurturing for months. While early, it’s a reminder that relationships often matter more than listings.

📊 The Footprint Report

  • Total Units: 12

  • Portfolio Occupancy: 100%

  • Active Markets: North Carolina

  • Projects in Progress: 1 value-add now in refinancing

👣 One Footprint Forward

Next week, our focus is on finalizing underwriting on multiple off-market opportunities. We are also expanding our network through social media posts and direct messaging. We’re continuing to move deliberately — one footprint at a time.
