An apartment building can look like a great deal right up until you dig into the numbers. The rents look promising.

The seller says there's room to raise them. The price seems reasonable. The operating costs are relatively low.

But what will the building actually cost to operate? What happens if the income doesn't grow as quickly as you hoped? And how do you decide what you can afford to pay?

If you're a new apartment buyer who wants to be a successful apartment buyer, the skill that matters most is knowing how to evaluate the investment before you buy it.

Join Charles Seaman (he's a partner in 422 units, so he knows how to do this!) for a hands-on day devoted mostly to answering the question, "What should I pay for this apartment building?"

NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link. You'll need to register at our website to do that: MAREI.org/Calendar

He'll walk you through the process step by step, so you can look at an apartment opportunity and make a more informed decision about whether to pursue it, what questions to ask, and where the risks may be hiding.

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

  • Find apartment opportunities worth taking a closer look at.
  • Work through an apartment investment step by step instead of relying on the asking price, the seller's projections, or a gut feeling.
  • Examine the income, expenses, and assumptions that determine whether the deal makes sense.
  • Make an offer that lets you do the OTHER due diligence and have the other contingencies you'll want, even after the offer is accepted.
  • Understand the people you need on your team to investigate and complete an apartment purchase.
  • Put together a capital stack: the combination of financing and investor money that can make a larger purchase possible.

If apartments are on your radar, this workshop will give you a practical way to start answering the question that counts: Is this the right building to buy?

WHO THIS IS FOR:
Investors who plan to buy their first apartment building, landlords ready to move up from houses, and anyone putting money into other people's deals who wants to check the numbers.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:
Anyone looking for a quick overview. This is a six-hour working class, and most of it is spent on the numbers.
