Requirements for buying commercial multifamily?

[Thomas Hickey]

Hi All! My experience in multifamily thus far has been in the 1-4 space. My future goals involve larger properties and would like to start setting myself up to attain them. What are the qualifications on larger multi-families? -net worth requirement? -experience? Thanks, Tom

@Bill Henley big balance sheet = net worth relative to the size of the loan and post-acquisition liquidity relative to all debt service.  Experience in the particular asset class and net worth/liquidity will move the hurdles up or down on requirements.  The benchmarks above are proxies to help facilitate an internet post...consults with lenders will provide more clarity.
