Analyzing Multi-family Properties

[Kia DeBose]

I'm new to investing and trying to learn how to analyze if a mulit-family property will make money. Is there any program or spreadsheet that I can use to plug in numbers to help me evaluate the potential profit?

@Kia DeBose The book that first got me interested in multifamily was "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings" by Steve Berges.  In fact, after completing a masters degree in Real Estate Finance and working for an investment company that buys and operates apartment buildings, I can say it was one of the most informative books I have ever read on the subject matter. It was an easy read and explains the financial evaluation process very simply.
