6 Factors to Consider Before Purchasing a Multifamily Property

Committed to purchasing a multifamily investment property? Keep in mind that doing your due diligence involves much more than just the property itself. Before you seal the deal, be sure to review the following 6 factors.

#1. The neighborhood and surroundings

Be sure you have a good understanding of the neighborhood in which the property is located. This includes not only the attractiveness of the area and potential demand, but also the surrounding properties, rates and policies, and their vacancy rates.

#2. The financials

Understanding the financial aspects of the subject property will help you project future potential income and operating expenses. You can learn more about property valuation here.

In addition, you’ll want to ask your real estate agent for a financial analysis of comparable properties so you can get a better idea of the potential performance of your investment.

#3. The lease audit

A lease audit is a basic review of all the existing leases for units within the property. This can help you understand the billings and lease terms for each unit, as well as stated income and expense figures. This can also be called the “rent roll.”

New to rent rolls? You can learn more, including how to read a rent roll, right here.

#4. The physical structure

As with any real estate purchase, it’s important to have an inspection conducted to understand the condition of the property, any issues that might need to be corrected, and any past issues. You may wish to consult with a contractor if you need further clarification on the findings of this inspection.

#5. The status of any pending litigation

Is there any pending litigation or lawsuits that you need to be aware of? Disputes of this nature can delay a transaction or prevent it from ever being completed.

Consult with a legal professional to learn about the options available to you should you find yourself dealing with complications like undisclosed property issues or contract/title concerns.

#6. The real estate tax bills

Have your real estate agent check the property tax data to make sure the taxes are up to date. You can also check the county appraiser websites to understand future tax responsibilities.
