How to Analyze a Multifamily Property & What Could Kill a Deal

Want to know how to analyze a multifamily property? Maybe you’ve analyzed duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, or even ten-unit apartment complexes before, but what about the big deals? We’re talking about multi-million dollar multifamily investments, with hundreds of units, large debt and equity structures, and many, many small pain points only experienced investors would notice.

If you’re looking for an in-depth overview of how to find, analyze, and buy a large multifamily property so you can build passive income and serious equity growth, then Andrew Cushman is the man to talk to. Andrew is so good at what he does that he's partnered up with BiggerPockets Podcast host, David Greene, to invest together.

In Andrew’s previous episode, he touched on the “phase I underwriting” that comes with analyzing a multifamily deal. In this episode, Andrew focuses on what investors should do after they’ve triaged their deals and are left with only the best in the bunch. Andrew spent years worth of time analyzing deals to come up with these eight steps. He shares them today so you can have less headache and more investing success than when he started!
