Multi family key terms and concepts

[Malachi Gutt]

Hi all , I want to step into the multi family and apartment building world.
(starting from 2-5 units and going up slowly)
What are the most important concepts and terms to understand when getting started with multi-family property investments?

Thank you very much

Hi @Malachi Gutt, focus first on the fundamentals: NOI (Net Operating Income), Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash Return, and DSCR these drive property value and lender decisions. Also learn rent rolls, expense ratios, and value-add strategies. I talk with multifamily operators often through my club, and mastering these basics makes every conversation and deal analysis much clearer.
