Steps To Purchase Multifamily Real Estate For Investors

Multifamily investing can seem daunting because of the mystery behind the requirements. Unlike single family purchases which most are exposed to as a matter of course and are supported by federal regulations that essentially assure the investor covers each required step, investing in apartments (properties with more than 4 units) is more nebulous.

The good news is the process is really not that complicated in terms of the required items. The items that generally must be provided or must be complete are:

The buyer must have an executed and valid sales contract. We’ll discuss the items needed in the sales contract to protect the investor later (as the buyer and as the seller).
The buyer will need an appraisal unless purchasing with seller financing or with all cash. The appraisal is a document that estimates value based on income, comparable sales, and other factors. The appraisal normal studies the area and neighborhood economics, employment, and demographics. Also, the appraisal looks at sales comparables, rent comparables, and the gross competitive atmosphere.
The buyer will complete a Phase I environmental study. Normally, this will provide processes to follow for minor issues and if serious issues crop up a Phase II environmental study will be required.
The buyers will require a survey with all encroachments, right of ways, structures, etc. described. The type of survey may vary depending on the lender.
The buyer will require title insurance with critical exceptions eliminated.
The buyer will require a lien search.
The buyer will require a property condition report (sometimes referred to as an engineering study) that describes physical issues with the property, estimated immediate and deferred maintenance expense. This document will review the physical conditions of each building, of a sample of the units, of the amenities, and of the grounds.
The buyer will prepare personal financials that show the liquidity and asset strength of the buyer.
The buyer must have three years past personal taxes available.
The buyer will need photo copies of two forms of identification including one with a photo.
The buyer must have management company resume and references.
The buyer will require that taxes are paid current at closing.
The buyer will require property insurance and closing.

If the purchase involves a loan, background and credit checks will be completed on the principals. Additionally, historic income statements and tax records will be needed.

With these items in hand, the buyer will have all required items for closing. Having these items does not guarantee closing. Closing is dependent on the lenders required ratios, assumptions about value, required equity, and other results based on these documents. With these in hand, the lender will be in a position to successfully complete closing.
