I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I bout one in 2019 and it has turned into a gem for me, but at the time, it would not have been 1.25 1.25x is a very common DSCR for a bank.

I recognize there are other ways I could invest this cash (including another property) but I am being mindful of levering myself out too much in the current environment where job losses are more common in my industry (tech).

A common misconception is that real estate properties under $1M have a smaller tax basis and therefore do not benefit from a cost segregation study due to the associated fees.

BO is ramping up their employment now, my new tenant will be working with HR at the site and will be onboarding lots of folks over the next 2-3 years!

Getting analysis when starting out is pretty common, buying that first deal is a huge leap of faith. 

Multi family isn’t as common as you’d find in other parts of the United States, but there are some good properties here to be had!

On a more enterprise scale, I employ RevMax software as well as a fractional revenue manager who looks at the prices daily on a market level and a comp set level. 

Common problem, no easy answer:(We try to allow our owner clients to arrange their own maintenance, but have learned the hard way there MUST be limitations:1) They can't hire our people!
