Hi Gang,

I have only done a few single family properties up until now and am looking at some multis. I found a fourplex that I think is a deal but wanted to run it past my "partners" at BP. Property is in Columbus Ohio, in a blue collar neighborhood with not  a lot of appreciation potential.

Heres the nuts and bolts of the deal.

Offer price $135,000

comps $124-150k low side being REOs (not much equity)

Gross Income yr              $28,800

Minus Vacancy (10%)=   $25,920

Repairs, maintenance, property management (5%)                           

Taxes, insurance,advertising

CAPEX ($250/unit/year)

Total Expenses              $10,472

30yr mtg with 20% down at 5% payment would be $580

I'm coming up with cash flow of $176 per month with COC return of 25.4%

Any thoughts?

My wife is a commercial real estate appraiser and has access.

Should I  focus more on comps and cashflow for 1-4 unit? $100 per month per door?

At best all that realty rates is reporting is the movement of AVERAGE cap rates throughout the country.

Unless you have actual comps (specific property sales) that show the calculation of the NOI then you don't really have a reliable number. That is like saying home sales are up 5% across the country vs knowing your NBHD sales (specific properties) are only selling for about 1% more,

Also look at the properties that they are reporting

I don't see 1-4 units.

Thanks Bob,

I guess I was looking at the Apartment-Garden/Suburban section which is close to the cap rate the wife is seeing in the area for larger apartments.

Usually, it's better to value add so you can squeeze more out of it, but it looks like you'll have some equity I guess.  

Yeah that's what I'm struggling with (equity vs cashflow). Its actual numbers, rents are slightly low $20 per month max.

DSCR = Is for loan underwriters

Cap Rate can be used for small, but is generally for Large Multi's. (I could be corrected on this)

Are you buying turnkey or fixer upper?

these are turnkey rented units

Hey BP,

I am re-focusing my investing from "pigs" to multifamily. I have a goal to analyze 50 deals just to get used to the numbers and where they go. My dilemma is this: when looking at deals I come up with great DSCR I think (higher than 1.2) cash flow after all expenses is greater than $100 per door, however if I take the net operating income and divide it by the cap rate for my area (8.5%) it comes out substantially less than the asking price. Am I totally off to compare all 3?
