Multi family property lists

[Patrick Flanagan]

Hey there,

I’m trying to acquire a list of all the multi family properties in my county and the surrounding ones. I’ve heard of list source, but I’ve also heard that it doesn’t show all the properties out there.

Is there a contact that I need to call to acquire such lists? In My old county I could hop on the tax assessors website and cruise around on the gis maps and see what properties had multiple addresses, then I’d plug that info into whitepages to grab the phone number.

But I feel like “someone” has to have a list of all the multi families in a specific county.

Hi Patrick, when you say Multi-families, do you mean Duplex, triplex etc... or commercial multi-families? For the latter, different approaches:

you can use some platform such as Reonomy or even Costar but the price for this one is fairly stiff. The "old fashion" way would be to go to Apts.com for instance, to a certain extend, Rentometer where you can search for apartments in a specific area. Instead of getting a general list, I would suggest you define some criteria, what you are looking for: for instance apt. classes (A, B, C, D), neighborhoods (A-->D as well), age of the properties, size (depending on interest and budget) you are willing to invest in. It is unlikely you want to invest in all the area of your county so adding some filters will help you to narrow it down. I hope it helps

Good luck
