18 Beds ⋅ 11 Baths ⋅ CL365783 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ 7,716 SqFt. ⋅ 1960 Year Built

UC Commercial Properties First Team is pleased to present Silver Circle, a seven-home residential rental portfolio on a single 7.00-acre tract in Franklin County, Georgia. The offering consists of four stick-built homes and three manufactured homes totaling approximately 7,716 heated square feet, 18 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, all held under one parcel and one deed. The portfolio is diversified by both product type and price point. It ranges from a 2024 Clayton doublewide with four bedrooms and two baths down to efficient 778-square-foot cottages, which spreads tenant demand across multiple rent bands rather than concentrating it in a single unit type. Four of the seven homes have been fully renovated within the last two years, and a fifth is two years old from the factory. For the trailing twelve months ended April 2026 the property collected $76,445 in rental income against $13,058 of reported operating expense, producing $63,387 of net operating income with no negative months. Collections for January through April 2026 ran 5.1 percent ahead of the prior period on the same unit count. Seven homes on seven acres works out to roughly one per acre, so the site is not built out. Owner-paid water, sewer and trash run approximately $6,344 annually, or 8.3 percent of gross, and present a direct recapture opportunity through a RUBS or direct-bill conversion. Buyers should note that the reported expense set excludes insurance, property management and reserves, and should underwrite those independently.
