Thinking about buying your first 5+ unit apartment building? This episode breaks down the top 10 questions every multifamily investor should ask before making an offer—from NOI, cap rates, rent roll, expense ratios, deferred maintenance, financing options, real value-add vs cosmetic fixes, exit buyers, and local laws.
Juan Huizar and Cody Charnell walk through how commercial properties are actually valued, why lenders care about in-place numbers vs pro forma, and how to spot true upside instead of marketing hype.
If you’re moving from a duplex/fourplex into 8, 10, or 20+ units, this is the framework you want before you tour buildings or talk to lenders.
