If there's a 1003 app done on the tenant buyer that promises a good result and getting a mortgage down the road you'll be well served by using the RMLO.I believe the CFPB will eventually have some kind a ruling on a straight lease and a straight option.You could always use a ROFR and a lease and give the tenant rights of first refusal and avoid the issue of using a lease and an option.

Rodney Smith Due Dilligence - Forecasting Expenses

For Multifamily, here is how I break down my underwriting pro-forma and the expense cost rules of thumb I use:Annual Income:+Gross Potential Rents (Market Rate x Units x 12 months)- Concessions (depends on the market, but I try to limit to 3% GPR)- Economic Vacancy (physical vacancy + bad debt + loss to lease)= Total Rental Income+ Utility Income (based on past RUBs history or the per door flat fees)+ Other Income Items (Laundry, revenue share contracts, late fees, app fees, etc.)= Total IncomeAnnual Expenses:+ RE Taxes (usually use 3% increase over last tax bill, but make sure your area won't reassess immediately upon the sale at the new price, which could drastically increase the taxes)+ Insurance (my rate is about $200/door....yours will be different, talk to your agent)+ Management Fee (3-5% depending on size and company used)+ Administrative costs ($150/door)+ Payroll ($900/door, but the smaller the complex, the higher this cost usually goes)+ Marketing ($125/door, again it depends on the property size and market)+ Utilities (usually do a 3-4% increase over the past 12 month total)+ Repairs/Turns/Contract Services/any maintenance (depends on the age, I buy late 60's to early 70's vintage stuff and usually spend $750-800/unit....this goes down as the property is newer or renovated)+ Reserves (this will depend on your financing, but I place it above the NOI line here because if the bank requires it, it is an upfront expense monthly....usually $250-350/door)= Total ExpensesNOI = Total Income - Total ExpensesThis generally works well for properties 20+, but might not work so well for smaller complexes.
