I have a dilemma which I think fits this thread. First time investor here. I am trying to decide whether to do an RV Park AND self-storage or just do self storage alone. The RV Park will be for permanent long-term guests so similar in that way to a MHP. This is in a depressed area that needs both affordable low cost housing AND also needs more self storage. I like being able to do both but self storage just seems way easier. Such a difficult decision, especially since I'm doing it from my home equity and seems like I only have one shot at getting this right! Any advice is appreciated. Thanks :)
Are you repositioning a current property or doing both from ground up? Bringing utilities in etc.

Hello
Looking forward to tomorrow night's meet up. Going to be an action packed meeting. We are going to talk about syndication - why do it and some of the pitfalls. We are not lawyers so we will be round tabling past experiences and lessons learned.
We also are excited to have Gabe DaSilva join us and share how he has systemized his investment business. From lead generation to project management. This is key in all investment vehicles and we look forward to seeing how we can translate this to our multifamily investments and property management.
All are welcome- new to experienced and look forward to hearing any successes since last meeting!
Best

Hello all,
so I found a 10 units building, that is apparently with 50% vacancy. Not much info except that it is listed with the potential GRI of $70500. it's listed for $450,000 (lol). Not renovated in a while. Roof seems not that old. Laundry hookup. 1bed/1bath. Florida. Not a big city but some job around.
Based on this info, I applied $70,500x0.5=$35250 of actual rent (if rent is being paid...!). Apply a .5 ratio for expense (rough analysis to get NOI)=NOI $17625.
Seems to be a C-ish place in florida. Would apply a 10% cap. so 176250$ which is 40% of the asking price.
My questions are :
- Am I doing a right analysis ?
- Due to the hot market in multifamily, everything is listed too high. How to approach and make an offer without looking like a douche (basically telling in a nice way "your building is not worth that much") ?
Thanks all for the help.
Charles
Hi Charles
You are using a number of guesstimates which is great on a high level but once you get solid on an area you need to hone in on what your true expenses are so you can accurately evaluate a property. You may correct be that 50% expenses is a good start but if its a 1950s all owner paid property 50% may not be enough in this instance. Wherever your numbers fall that make this the right property for you do not feel awkward about making the offer. If it is through the broker tell them where you are at with your numbers and see if they think it is worthwhile for you to submit an LOI. MOst of the time they will say yes as long as you have justification for your offer and are not just throwing low offers blindly. We present our lower than expectation offers in the following light " Mr seller thank you for the opportunity to bid your property- we like the property the area and the xyz potential we see with the property. However in analyzing this property we see you have your expenses at Y, well it seems for our analysis we would not be able to operate the property at that price point, more than likely you have the connections there and a great team, we have to hire all of our team, are remote owners and it will be more costly for us using 3rd party management. Therefore we will have to offer at this price point so we can run the property correctly and still meet our investor returns. We are serious about our offer and have included our analysis (top line income and expenses) for your review. With acceptance we will have a PSA and due diligence checklist sent over within 24 hours. Thank you."
