Multi Family Underwriting Checklist
Hi all,
I am trying to get the reps with understanding the End to End process of acquiring a multi family unit and I wanted to see if anyone by chance had a checklist of steps that they follow when they are looking at opportunity in this space? So far the below is what I have gathered:
1. Collect the rent roll of the unit and then T-12 financials of the property. Operating Statements for the past 3 years minimum https://www.biggerpockets.com/topics#
2. Site Inspection of every unit with a photographer who will photograph every inch of each apartment. The Photographs will be used to develop the unit upgrades / repairs / improvement budget
• At what point in the process can I conduct this?
3. Need to get a Capital Needs Assessment / Property Condition Report
4. Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
5. Obtain estoppels and copies of each apartment lease
6. Get a preliminary title report to confirm any existing liens on the property
Is there anything else I should add?

On site building and unit inspections will not be performed until you are under contract.
