So, I'm currently looking for SFH and would eventually like to venture further into MFH, I currently have a duplex, but I'm trying to educate myself further on MFH before I really get active with it. That being said a wholesaler sent me this on a MultiFamily property and while I feel it's got potential I feel a bit lost on other questions to be asking. This has been the email communication so far. The first chunk was the initial email she sent, I replied asking about leases, expirations, how much they pay, and how many units are currently rented. The second piece starts where she replies "Hi Cory"

What else should I be asking? What questions would those of you in the multifamily space have with this info? Trying to learn and heck, who knows maybe I’ve got my first multi here…

Thanks in advance for reading and providing any feedback…

Hi Cory,

All units are currently rented and all the tenants are caught up and paid in full except one who needs to pay for December. She is behind for the month because she is switching jobs. She is to pay part of December 's rent this week and then finish catching up next month. Her new job starts on 1/10. She has also applied for state rent assistance, and will likely be approved. I say all of this to say - she is going to be caught up soon and she is in communication with the current owner.
I am not sure about all of the lease terms, but I will find out. All buildings are fully occupied. The turnover has been extremely minimal the past couple of years - current owner had 1 new tenant in January 2021 and had 1 turnover in March 2020. Other than that, there was full occupancy in both years. The rent amounts are as follows:
1 unit rented @ $6508 units rented @ $6752 units rented @ $7001 unit rented @ $725

The pro forma that the current owner provided is available to a qualified buyer.Regarding that vacancy ratio on the pro forma, the current owner had 1 new tenant in January 2021 and had 1 turnover in March 2020 and other than that, there was full occupancy in both years.
A couple of final notes: All tenants pay by the 5th of the month, except for a couple who pay in the middle of the month. There are $8285 total in deposits that will transfer to the next owner at closing in addition to $4125 for the tenants last month's rent, for a total of $12,410. Additionally, there are several tenants who have applied for state grant to help with rents. Those tenants were approved previously, so current owner thinks they will be approved again. Assuming all tenants who applied get the grant, that could be an additional $14,325 in rents to cover the first 3 months of the year. Estimated credit for property taxes is $14,210.
