Currently looking for someone that has invested in multi family properties and has knowledge on structuring deals. I’m looking to acquire a property just want further insight on deal structure. And thoughts on cap rates and cash flow.

@Julian Alford there are many ways to structure a multifamily deal and there are many posts on BP re: this topic. My suggestion is to spend time reading and educating yourself.

    @Julian Alford I an advise around multifamily in my market, but it may not apply to the market you're trying to buy in! Where are you hoping to invest and what questions do you have?

    Are you preparing to syndicate a larger apartment or are you doing it by yourself?

    Either way, make sure you take a course on apartment investing. It is nothing like single-family. 4 units or less. 

    Then join a local real estate investor group to raise capital and keep your education current.

    @Stephen J Davis, this deal is for myself it’s a 5 unit in NC I’ve been eyeing. And I’m currently running numbers and reading up on as much as possible.

    @Kiera Underwood it’s a property that I’ve located in NC, a 5 unit at a good purchase price. My question is what is the best way to bring an investor to assist with the purchase and setting the terms of that agreement.

    @Julian Alford as mentioned there are a lot of ways to structure the deal. Is the property listed with a broker or is it off market? Are you using conventional lending, seller financing, syndicating? Is it occupied and performing or does it need to be stabilized? Depending on the current position of the property, your resources or lack there of, the willingness of the seller to get creative can help you determine the best way to structure your deal.

    @Trent Ellingford I located the property on a third party site, I'm a broker but could not locate same within my MLS. I am looking at using a conventional lender for this property. It's is currently Occupied and cash flowing. And I also am currently tracking down the owners of the property to present an seller finance proposal once I have all the facts worked out.

    @Julian Alford a 5 unit sounds totally doable. If you are going to partner with someone, you might consider a joint venture, but this requires all partners to be active on the deal. So if you bring the sweat equity, and they are only bringing the money, this probably doesn't work. Technically they must be "active" in some way - probably not hard to meet the minimum requirements. Then it is whatever equity split you can work out - 50/50, 40/60, 30/70, and then split cash distributions. 

    Another way might be to bring in a private lender with a promissory note if you plan on Brrrring the property. They could earn their percentage until you refi out and return their capital.

    Ah understood. I'm typically working with very straightforward LLC partnerships, commercial or conventional lending. If someone wanted to set something outside of the financing partnership norm I'd likely refer to an attorney.

    Fwiw, CAP rates and cash flow are fairly area specific. Your best bet would be to talk with commercial brokers as they will know those numbers inside and out.
