How do you quickly screen multifamily deals before deep underwriting?

[Justice Okpara]

For those active in multifamily — how do you handle early deal screening?

It seems like the biggest challenge is volume: you can get a lot of listings, but full underwriting every deal isn’t realistic.

So I’m curious:

what do you look at first before going deeper?

is there a quick filter you use before full analysis?

or is everything run through a full model?

I’ve been experimenting with a lightweight AI-assisted screening workflow to help speed up that first pass, but I’m still learning how professionals actually structure this step.

What’s your current screening process like?
