Is 7.12% cap rate on a 25 unit multifamily property in Saint Cloud, MN too low? Does it sound right?
Good question.
You need to get a proper financial education instead of running around purchasing a small 25 unit apartment complex and wasting your time worrying that the cap rate is too low.
First, you want to generally avoid apartment communities that have less than 100 units. 25 units is too small to be able to have proper onsite management. There is not enough rental income to cover that expense.
It sounds to me like you are looking on Loopnet to find your deals and instead of wasting your time on Loopnet looking for a deal, you should be looking to find the most experienced general partner you can to invest with.
You need to find someone that has 10 or 20 years of experience in multifamily to invest with that already owns hundreds if not thousands of units instead of wasting your time chasing a 25 unit multifamily complex.
Now if you want to be a general partner that is putting deals together in that case it might make sense to start with slightly smaller deals and then work your way up. But the thing is if you are planning on being a general partner you need to get a real education in multifamily investing.
The new investors that do the best in multifamily don't look for apartment communities to invest and buy on Loopnet. Instead, they look to find experienced apartment investors that will let them invest into their deals. Being a limited partner you will avoid all the problems a general partner faces.
You then can focus on your core business or work and make more money to invest with another experienced general partner on your next deal.
If you are the type of person that wants to do things the easier and more efficient way, I created a group that can help you learn how to invest.
My group, the Benjamin Z Miller Investor Networking Group, meets every Sunday on Zoom. I created for new and experienced investors to network and make more contacts.
If you don’t know the market and are trying to act as a general partner in Saint Cloud, MN I can’t even tell you how many problems this will give you compared to being a limited partner that does not take on that responsibility.
Try and avoid investing in multifamily in states where the tenants have more ways to make problems for you. It is much more difficult being a landlord in New York compared to Texas. Texas is a landlord friendly state.
If you would like to learn more about multifamily investing, you should join the Benjamin Z Miller Investor Networking Group.
Once you attend one of the Sunday meetings you will receive a Google Sheets document with the phone and email of the other investors that attended.
From there you can reach out to numerous multifamily investors. I also am good friends with some of the best well known multifamily investors so if you need an introduction to a particular investor in some cases I can help you.
Before you do any investing you should invest more time and money in your financial and legal education. I offer education and training to landlords, engineers, doctors and dentists, and many others that would like to learn how to enjoy the benefits of multifamily as quickly as possible. If that sounds interesting contact my office by going to www.benjaminzmiller.com and fill out the contact form.
