  RK#457 Why So Many Apartments Will Hit the Market in 2026

  Oct 3, 20264 min

  Send us Fan Mail This episode explains why many apartment owners are selling ahead of 2026: low-rate loans from 2021–2022 are maturing, refinancing is far more expensive after Fed hikes, and rent growth in many markets hasn’t kept up, leaving property values down from peak levels. As a result, new loans often won’t cover old balances, forcing owners to either inject significant equity or sell. The biggest sellers are owners with 2021–2022 floating-rate/bridge deals, projects that never fully stabilized, properties in high-supply Sunbelt markets, and partnerships running out of capital or patience, while stabilized owners with fixed-rate agency debt in stronger Midwest and gateway markets are less motivated. For buyers, forced sales can be opportunities only with realistic underwriting, since many deals have deferred maintenance, soft rents, or higher expenses than advertised.

  RK#456 The Biggest Multifamily Underwriting Mistakes in 2026

  Oct 2, 20268 min

  Send us Fan Mail This episode explains why multifamily deals often fail due to bad assumptions, then breaks down five underwriting mistakes to avoid in 2026: assuming aggressive rent growth based on “market rent” instead of achievable rent and submarket comps; ignoring incoming new supply and the 24–36 month delivery pipeline; underwriting expenses too low by relying on seller numbers instead of normalized taxes, insurance, repairs, utilities, payroll, management, and turnover (showing how a $150K NOI miss can erase about $2.5M of value at a 6% cap); using too much leverage and not stress-testing refinancing risk as rates and maturities (13% of balances in 2026) impact DSCR, LTV, valuation, and proceeds; and relying on overly optimistic exit cap rates instead of running best, downside, and stress cases.

  Episode #455

  RK# 455 Why a High Cap Rate Could Be a Trap

  Sep 30, 20267 min

  Send us Fan Mail This episode explains why chasing the highest cap rate can lead multifamily investors into bad deals, since a higher cap rate doesn’t automatically mean better value. Using two $10M apartment examples, it shows how a seemingly superior cap rate can be driven by inflated or unrealistic NOI projections, understated expenses, or post-sale increases in taxes and insurance. It also highlights that higher cap rates often signal higher risk—such as weaker locations, higher vacancy, deferred maintenance, and limited rent growth—and clarifies that cap rate is not the same as investor return or IRR. The script outlines a deeper underwriting checklist, stress-testing assumptions like flat rent growth, rising expenses, expanding exit cap rates, and additional CapEx needs, emphasizing risk-adjusted decision-making over headline numbers.

  Episode #454

  RK#454 Class B Is Quietly Becoming the King of Multifamily Investing

  Sep 28, 20269 min

  Send us Fan Mail The script argues that the current multifamily opportunity may be in overlooked Class B apartments because Class A owners face heavy competition from new supply and concessions, while Class B competes on affordability. It cites CBRE data on 2026 completions and slowing deliveries, and the National Apartment Association’s view that stabilized Class B often holds stronger occupancy and steadier rent performance in high-supply markets. The speaker warns that not every Class B deal is good and outlines five key checks before buying: local job growth, upcoming supply, true renter affordability, ongoing CapEx needs in older buildings, and whether the deal works without aggressive rent growth. Value creation is framed as operational—improving collections, turnover, expenses, vacancy, and selective renovations—while cautioning that “cheap” properties can become expensive when CapEx and risk are ignored.

  Episode #453

  RK#453 Before You Buy an Apartment Building, Check These 7 Numbers

  Sep 25, 202611 min

  Send us Fan Mail The speaker explains that before buying an apartment building they start with seven key numbers, not the purchase price, because deal quality depends on the underlying metrics. They verify and normalize NOI from actual collections, vacancies, concessions, expenses, taxes, insurance, repairs, and management fees, noting that small NOI changes can shift value significantly at a given cap rate. They then evaluate the going-in cap rate in market context, DSCR (NOI vs. annual debt service) to ensure the property can withstand changes in rates, occupancy, or expenses, and LTV to avoid over-leverage. They stress-test rent growth assumptions against real market drivers and scenarios, scrutinize the expense ratio for value-add opportunities, and use price per unit plus required CapEx per unit to determine true basis. The core lesson: don’t fall in love with amenities—NOI and conservative underwriting drive returns and protection. Support the show Follow Rama on socials!
