Success hinges on purchasing at the right price and analyzing the numbers effectively.

Hey Everyone, I've been building an Excel financial model that can quickly analyze potential value-add multifamily projects and I've run into an issue that I wasn't expecting - when calculating the returns, do you take into account both the refinance and sale proceeds, along with the cash flow?

@Martin Jones Be patient and analyze tons of deals.

Thank you in advance for your insights.Anthony - Everyone has their own perspective with a tool/analyzer for multifamily properties and there are many out there including Syndicated Deal Analyzer by Michael Blank, Joe Fairless excel model, Robert Beardsley's excel model, and a host of others including some "make your own" models via courses in YouTube.

.- Analyze Deals Thoroughly: Once you identify potential properties, conduct thorough due diligence and financial analysis to ensure they meet your investment criteria.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Just need some more research to figure out what to target and how to analyze a good investment property.

Hi Chris, I am currently working with a local investor client of mine looking to shift his REI portfolio away from SFR and more so into larger apartment complexes in the Northland Region of the KC Metro.I have been underwriting and analyzing deals recently in the $800k-2.5 million price range for him, so have 'my finger on the pulse' of what's available right now.

What are some factors to really  consider when analyzing mulitfamily properties.

Finally, appreciation is predictable and linear.I always work with my local property manager partner when selecting and analyzing a property with my investors and use them to manage the property after purchase to optimize the ownership and investment experience.To your success!
