The 6 Steps to (Almost) Perfect Multifamily Underwriting

Multifamily underwriting isn’t a commonly used term within the residential world. If you’re used to dealing with single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, or quadplexes, you’ve probably done real estate underwriting to some degree, but you’ve called it “real estate analysis”. In both scenarios, investors are looking at what they’ll make on a deal, how much they need to invest, and what exit strategies they have. But, in a hot housing market, like we’re in today, by the time you analyze a deal, a deal may already be gone. You need a way to quickly sort deals into the “pursue” or “dump” piles, and Andrew Cushman, expert multifamily investor, may just have the solution for you. Andrew has been on the BiggerPockets podcast before and manages over 2,600 units, so he definitely knows what he’s talking about! Today, Andrew showcases the phase one underwriting he uses to decide quickly on deals, as well as the four levers to look at before even getting into underwriting. His system can save you hours, or even days, if you’re a full-time investor, and it helps rookie investors quickly analyze deals so they can get into the game. Now, residential owners can transition into commercial real estate with better scale and bigger profits. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE: https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?... ~~~~ Listen to Andrew's Past Episodes on The BiggerPockets Podcast: 170: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/20... 279: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/bp... ~~~~ Ask Your Underwriting Questions on the BiggerPockets Forums: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums?... ~~~~ Want to Ask David a Question on the Next Seeing Greene? https://www.biggerpockets.com/david?u... ~~~~ Invest with David on Future Deals: https://Investwithdavidgreene.com ~~~~ Learn More About Vantage Point Acquisitons: https://www.vpacq.com/ ~~~~ Connect with Andrew and David on BiggerPockets: Andrew: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/a...
