IRR, CoC, CapRate, or DTDMS ???

[Yonah Weiss]

I know there are a lot of methods of analyzing a deal to see if it's worthwhile. Recently, I've been underwriting a lot of deals, trying to find my first 'big' (for me) MF property 40-100 units. I understand IRR, Cash on Cash, Cap %, etc. and how they can affect they can each paint a different picture.

Recently, a friend @Dovid Preil, pointed out a different method called DTDMS (Does The Deal Make Sense).

It reminds me of the eleventh commandment--use your brain.

There are often many factors that will make or break a deal, even if all of the metrics look good on paper, but it requires you to dig a little deeper.

What are some of those things that have, or could make or brake a deal for you?
