➡️Follow these steps to submit a confident LOI

Found a multifamily deal? Now what?

Follow these steps to ensure you make a confident offer.

✅ 1. Underwrite the deal - See if the deal even makes sense based on the returns your investors are expecting. Have your partners look at your underwriting and provide feedback. Be conservative.

✅ 2. Tour the property - If the underwriting meets your criteria, schedule a tour with the broker/seller. If you can, tour the property with a PM and/or GC. PMs know the market and can provide credible information about rent increases, value add strategies, and other things you may not even think about.

✅ 3. Request a pro forma from your PM - This is to confirm your assumptions in your underwriting. Does the PM agree with your rent increases? Do they think renovations will take longer than you are projecting?

✅ 4. Request a term sheet - Have your lender provide a term sheet for your deal. Every deal is different so you want to have something in writing that will show exactly how much proceeds the bank will be willing to lend.

✅ 5. Submit an LOI - Does the property still make sense after all of the previous steps? You can now submit an LOI and feel confident in your offer.

Would you add or delete any steps?

What else are you doing before you submit an LOI?
