How to analyze a multi-family deal

[Bianca Rodrigues]

When analyzing a potential multi-family property, what metrics are used to determine if the cash flow and property as a whole, will be a good investment? 

I know a lot of investors create Excel spreadsheets, any recommendations for what should be on there (Cap rate, cash on cash return, etc…) ?

What are some important questions to ask a seller/ landlord of a multi-unit property to avoid taking over a bad deal.

Thank you!
