Evaluating Package Deals

[Matt Faix]

We've come across a few package deals lately and are having some trouble making sense of them and organizing the results when evaluating. Often times the different properties have different numbers available (with varying degrees of accuracy), and so far we have just been evaluating these as individual properties and the summarizing the results. Wondering if there is a better way of doing this...

1. What are the steps you take to evaluate a package deal (Ex 2 duplexes, a SF, 3 triplexes, and a 10 unit)? and is it any different from a large multi-unit deal of say 24 Units? 

2. What tools/methods/calculators are there to make this more efficient? So far, we just run each one through the calculator, make a decision on each, and summarize. 

3. Then proceed to come up with an offer for the full package or the highest performing properties in the package. 

Any help is greatly appreciated
