Our Services

We Offer a Range of Services to Meet Your Needs

1031 EXCHANGE

A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a tax-deferral strategy that allows real estate investors to sell one property and reinvest the proceeds in another similar property, while deferring capital gains taxes on the sale.

RENTAL SURVEYS

A comprehensive analysis conducted to gather and evaluate data regarding rental rates, occupancy levels, and other relevant market trends within the multifamily housing sector

COMPARABLES (DATA/COMPS)

Similar properties that have recently sold in the same area as a property being evaluated. Comps and rental rates are used to determine a properties value by comparing it to similar properties along with NOI and GSI (gross scheduled income). 

VALUATIONS

The process of estimating the current market value of a multifamily property. It involves combining an underwriting analysis with a valuation of the physical asset. The underwriting analysis values the building from a business perspective, considering its income, expenses, and cash flow.

BUYER CONSULTATION

A consultation to evaluate your position in order to make the most out of your multifamily portfolio. 

PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PLANS

We understand the importance of maintaining your property and ensuring its value appreciates over time. That’s why we’re here to offer guidance on property improvement and maintenance. We can help you identify areas that need improvement and suggest solutions that fit your budget and time frame.

TRIPLE NET

A triple net lease (NNN) is a commercial lease agreement where the tenant pays rent and all property expenses, except for utilities, in addition to the rent. These expenses include insurance, maintenance, taxes, and operating expenses. The “N” in NNN stands for property taxes, property insurance, and common area maintenance (CAMs).

RENOVATION UNDERWRITING

Renovation underwriting for multifamily properties involves analyzing and underwriting a real estate deal with the intention of renovating the property. This process involves gathering data about the property, making assumptions about its future performance, and creating projected cash flows.

Whether you need a contractor for renovations, an inspector for property evaluations, or a property management company, our list of vetted vendors can help you find the best fit for your needs.
