Let’s Talk ↗
THE INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE
Why multifamily?
Rental housing can offer several sources of opportunity. Each property deserves its own analysis.
VALUE
Long-term appreciation
Location, demand, property condition, and operating performance can influence value over time. Appreciation is not assured.
TAX
Tax considerations
Depreciation and eligible expense deductions may affect after-tax results. Treatment varies; review your situation with a qualified tax professional.
DEMAND
A lasting housing need
People need places to live, but rental demand is local. Review employment, household formation, competing supply, and affordability.
FROM ANALYSIS TO OWNERSHIP
How an acquisition works.
A disciplined process helps turn a promising property into an informed decision.
- 01
Define & analyze
Clarify your market, budget, and objectives. Review rents, occupancy, operating expenses, condition, and comparable sales.
- 02
Position the financing
Discuss lender requirements, equity, loan terms, and debt coverage. Test how changing rates and income affect your assumptions.
- 03
Investigate the details
During due diligence, verify leases and financials; coordinate physical, title, insurance, and other professional reviews.
- 04
Prepare & close
Resolve contingencies, finalize financing and closing documents, and coordinate funds and the transfer of ownership.
- 05
Plan the operations
Set up management, reserves, maintenance, and reporting. Compare actual results with your original plan.
KNOW THE NUMBERS
Four metrics. A fuller picture.
Useful starting points—not substitutes for reviewing the property, financing, and underlying assumptions.
01 / CAP RATE
Income relative to price
Net operating income ÷ purchase price
Usually expressed as a percentage. Net operating income is property income after operating expenses, before debt service and income taxes.
02 / GRM
Gross Rent Multiplier
Price ÷ gross annual rental income
A quick comparison of pricing against gross rent. It does not account for operating expenses or financing.
03 / CASH-ON-CASH RETURN
Cash flow on invested cash
Annual pre-tax cash flow ÷ invested cash
Typically expressed as a percentage. Financing terms and cash invested directly affect the result.
04 / DSCR
Debt Service Coverage Ratio
Net operating income ÷ annual debt service
A measure of income available to cover loan payments. A ratio of 1.0 means income equals debt service; lender requirements vary.
