Metropolis DTLA Exit: From Negative Cash Flow to Fully Passive Income

Thanks to Primior’s guidance, this investor went from monthly losses and dead equity to consistent 10% annual returns without lifting a finger.

The Challenge

In 2017, the investor purchased a luxury condo in Metropolis, Downtown LA for $800,000, aiming to capitalize on appreciation and rental income. The project, marketed as one of the top skyscrapers in LA, promised prestige and potential.

But the numbers didn’t work.

The mortgage exceeded $5,000/month. Dual HOA fees totaled $1,200/month. Property taxes ran nearly $10,000 annually. Meanwhile, market rent plateaued at $2,500/month—leaving the owner thousands in the red every single month.

The investor, frustrated and financially drained, turned to Primior for a solution.

The Approach

Primior’s team executed a structured exit and reinvestment plan to stop the bleeding and reposition the client for long-term success.

Key Steps Taken by Primior:

Financial Analysis & Sell Recommendation (Q1 2025):
We ran a detailed analysis of ownership costs, rental projections, and market comps. Our recommendation: sell immediately to preserve capital, as further appreciation was unlikely.

Rapid Listing & Disposition (Q1 2025):
We priced the property at $610,000 to attract quick offers. Within 30 days, the unit was under contract. After paying off the mortgage, the client retained approximately $120,000 in proceeds.

Tokenized Reinvestment Strategy (Q2 2025):
We advised placing the net proceeds into USP—Primior’s tokenized real estate fund—with a 10% annual cash flow and historically strong appreciation. The client agreed and transitioned immediately.

The Outcome

Thanks to Primior’s strategic approach, the client eliminated a high-burn asset and upgraded to a passive, income-producing investment.

Key Results:

  • Reduced Monthly Losses to Zero, ending years of negative cash flow.

  • Unlocked $120,000 in Equity from a distressed property exit.

  • Upgraded to a 10% Yield via USP, delivering stable monthly distributions.

  • Converted to 100% Passive Ownership, with no landlord responsibilities.

  • Positioned for Long-Term Appreciation, through tokenized real-world assets.

Conclusion: Primior’s Expertise in Action

This case shows how Primior helps investors navigate tough decisions with confidence. By exiting a high-cost, low-return condo and reallocating into a hands-off, blockchain-powered fund, the client moved from monthly losses to lasting cash flow.

If you’re sitting on a rental that’s draining your resources—or looking to future-proof your portfolio with tokenized real estate—Primior is ready to guide the transition.
