Determining Rent Value of Residential Multi-Family Units?

Determining Rent Value of Residential Multi-Family Units?

Portland, OR · Member since 2015 · 91 posts · 19 votes

When purchasing a residential MF property, what other types of properties am I comparing the MF property to so that I can determine the rent value of each unit? Am I mainly focusing on apartment units that are in a certain location of the MF, if so how far away should I be looking for comparable units? OR am I comparing them only to other similar MF units in the area?

What are some other factors that can help me determine the rent value of each unit?

    When it comes to determining what you can charge  for rent, you have to stay close to that neighborhood for your research because the next neighborhood rents may be higher or lower. Check craiglist , apartments for rent, www.rent-o-meter.com, near by property managers Google them and call, knock on doors at near by apartment  buildings and ask tenants. Be sure to compare amenities included.

    Second to rentometer.com. Great way to quickly get a read on the average rents for the average property in an area.

    Good luck!
