Interesting multifamily deal flow and underwriting skillset
Hi everyone — I’m an international investor trying to decide where it makes the most sense to start investing in the US, and I’d really value perspectives from people who’ve already been through this.
My background and main strengths are deal sourcing, underwriting, and operating planning/rent stabilization, particularly for small multifamily (roughly 5–20 units). I’ve also previously worked with a mid-sized investor, supporting acquisitions and analysis, so I’m not coming at this purely theoretically. That said, what I don’t have at this stage is the ability to write a large down payment check compared to U.S.-based investors.
I’m trying to sanity-check whether it’s realistic to think those strengths can have real value early on, or if the market generally expects you to take a scrappier route first regardless (smaller assets, fee-only roles, wholesale-style sourcing, etc.).
thank you!
