So happy for my investors hopefully the rest of the transaction goes smooth so we can get it all locked in and they will have one more property in their portfolio than they did a few months ago.

I want to make sure they can close these types of transactions and are used to working with real estate investors...

However if you are getting the buyer yourself and need an agent to draft paperwork and work as a "transaction broker" - I charge 1% or $3000, whichever is greater. 

The analysis also reports that new multifamily development will “remain near the average recorded over the past five years”.Integra Realty Resources’ 2017 Commercial Real Estate Trends Report ranks Pittsburgh #2 on its Top Markets by Multifamily Transaction Volume Based on YoY Change.Pittsburgh’s rental vacancy rate has declined by 25% over the last five years.Pittsburgh is booming with developments (see reference #6), “there is no better place to be a developer right now than in Pittsburgh.

It's very important to perform your due diligence on the operators, the markets their operate it, ask for their past transactions, history of their track record.

What is your source for 99% of transactions are above 2%?

@Ankit Lodha, as others have pointed out, this sounds like a transaction you should be able to get done.

I do see many investors incorporating a similar strategy with new construction builds, heavy rehabs, or in instances where the property was bought far below market value (usually a wholesale type transaction).

Growth is best served TRANSACTING properties to HARVEST appreciation/equitable gains for redeployment of those gains (better know as PYRAMIDING). 

I do not have experience in commercial real estate transactions.
