Hello all,I've been analyzing several deals for small multi family homes and I took a suggestion from a blog post I found for estimating CapEx.

I have always accounted for 10% property management when analyzing deals.

Additionally, you'll hear about people who analyze hundreds of properties, make a hundred offers and only actually close on one deal, so don't get discouraged just because you haven't had any luck yet.

Your best options are:a) LoopNet-->filter it to Multifamilyb) Find commercial real estate brokerages and view their listings directly on their website  (some brokerages will have access to the pertinent documents for a listing on their website, or you will have to request them from the listing broker)Looking at and starting to analyze deals will give you a background / solid base in how multifamily works.

Most of the properties like this one that I have analyzed require an offer of between 60-70% of the list price. 

When I started it took me a year of analyzing deals and figuring out my investor identification.  

It's one of the most popular ways to get started on the path to real estate investing.
