Thanks for the reply John. Year 1 is a bit slow but I will get to 20-25% cash on cash in year 2, but have to get my hands somewhat dirty in year one to make that happen. Again, its an Ivy league college town so don't anticipate the school going anywhere. My master plan is to bulldoze the buildings and put up appox. 150 units so there is also that in play.

Hi guys, so first time poster but experienced RE investor multifamily and hotel investments but looking for some gut reactions from the forum. I am looking at 2 multifamily buildings in a major college town location. $1.4m sales price with a levered cash on cash return of approx 10% in year one and with active oversight an 18% return in year 2. My offer on this deal is contingent on the university being open for Fall semester. The seller countered striking this contingency. 

Coronavirus is the bid deal here and these buildings are only meant for student housing, so locals can't afford it. So...do I counter pushing the contingency that the school stays open or lower the offer price by the expected revenue for a full 2020/2021 school year as a counter offer?

Welcome Rob. I have experience in the hotel arena as well. I am more frank than your average poster here and I will be completely honest with you. Without even hearing about where this property is located, I would tell you to RUN. Why even bother with this deal? We as professional investors should strive for only killer deals, not so-so wishy washy deals that can bite us in the a$$ later on. The seller is worried you'll back out because they anticipate a drop in real estate prices in the future due to the virus. I would either RUN, or at the very least, wiggle in a much lower price offer. The seller sounds scared to me. Don't let their problem become yours. The university/college education system will take a huge hit 100% for sure as this will discourage people from wanting to go to those places for the next couple of years.

I don't even like the numbers. 20% cash on cash or better and it would make more sense. Remember that BUYERS now have the power due to the virus. Take advantage of it.
