Evaluating a first multifamily investment

This is an illustrative example of our advisory process and does not describe a specific client or actual results.

01 · Client Need

An investor wanted to move from single-family rentals into a small multifamily property.

02 · Challenge

Offering memoranda showed optimistic projections that didn't match actual operating history.

03 · Analysis

We rebuilt the operating statement from actual rents and expenses, then reviewed NOI, cap rate and DSCR assumptions.

04 · Strategy

Target properties where value could be added through management and modest improvements.

05 · Action

Underwrote several properties conservatively and coordinated with lenders on DSCR financing.

06 · Outcome

Illustrative example: the investor made a decision grounded in realistic numbers.

07 · Next Steps

Develop an improvement and long-term hold plan.
