Most Multifamily Deals Still Don\u2019t Work Right Now","description":"In this episode, I talk about why most multifamily deals still do not work today even after prices have dropped from the peak market of 2021 and 2022. A lot of people hear that prices are down and assume everything suddenly became a good deal again. But debt is more expensive, insurance has exploded, taxes are rising, payroll and maintenance costs are up, and many sellers are still trying to sell based on unrealistic projections from years ago. I break down why I eliminate deals quickly, what I look for when underwriting, and why I would rather buy a conservative deal with fixed debt than gamble on appreciation or refinancing assumptions I cannot control. I also talk about: \u2022 Why floating debt crushed so many operators \u2022 Why occupancy and collections are becoming more difficult \u2022 How taxes and insurance can destroy a deal after closing \u2022 Why cash flow matters more than hype right now \u2022 The difference between underwriting for reality versus underwriting for hope \u2022 Why survival and durability matter more than flashy projections This episode is for anyone trying to understand what is really happening in today\u2019s multifamily market and how experienced operators are adjusting their approach.
