Thinking About Buying a Multifamily Property? Here's How to Do It Right

Investing in multifamily real estate is one of the most powerful ways to build long-term wealth—but not all deals are created equal. Whether you're a first-time buyer or expanding your portfolio, success starts with strategy, diligence, and the right team.

Here’s what you need to know before you buy.

1. Define Your Investment Criteria

Before jumping into deals, get clear on your goals. Are you looking for:

  • Cash flow or appreciation?

  • Turnkey or value-add opportunities?

  • 2–4 units or 20+?

  • Urban, suburban, or emerging markets?

Your criteria drive everything—from financing options to property search to management strategy.

2. Understand the Numbers

Multifamily investing is all about the math. Key metrics to focus on include:

  • Cap rate

  • Cash-on-cash return

  • Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)

  • Gross rent multiplier (GRM)

  • Net operating income (NOI)

We help you break down every deal with clear, investor-friendly models so you can make confident, data-driven decisions.

3. Source the Right Opportunities

Off-market or on-market, listed or quietly shopped—finding good deals takes relationships and experience.

At TWG Advisors, we help buyers access opportunities before they hit the public market through broker relationships, investor networks, and local market knowledge. We also help vet deals that look good on paper but may have red flags under the surface.

4. Conduct Thorough Due Diligence

Every multifamily property has a story—and the numbers don’t always tell the full one. We help you dig deep on:

  • Leases and tenant performance

  • Operating history

  • Deferred maintenance and capital needs

  • Local rent control or zoning regulations

  • Comparable market rents and future upside

Good deals can turn into bad ones without proper diligence. We make sure you buy with eyes wide open.

5. Plan for Post-Close Success

Buying is just the beginning. A clear post-close strategy—including leasing, renovations, repositioning, or professional management—is key to hitting your targets.

We guide you through the full investment cycle, from acquisition through stabilization and beyond.
