There is a level of complexity to the process that requires there to be a retail client focused team that most big manufacturers are not able to perform.

*I do get that recessions do put pressure on apartment complex's cash flows, but a good deal and syndicator I hope will keep us all above water.

What size complex are you looking for?

We have a couple of 150+ complexes on the market currently, as well as buildings like a small 8 unit.

I would probably only invest in bigger commercial apartment complexes since you guys probably have a lot more money to start than most people.

How do you determine an asking price for an apartment complex or other commercial property?

This is needed to really pull off commercial transactions when many complexities are involved.If it's too painful up front my clients and I move on as many properties to choose from.

Buy and download the AIA105 contract for small commercial/residential and alter it to include the terms you want - its not rocket science.If your project ends up becoming more complex - or you are unsure/confused after trying this approach first - then consider and architect.

It is by design a simple construct to deal with a fairly complex idea.

This complex about 22 units in a pretty good area.
