Multifamily Consulting

Multifamily consulting from the team that runs the buildings

Most advisors have never signed a lease or fixed a turn schedule. We do both every week. Our consulting gives owners and investors answers grounded in how apartments actually perform.

The problem

Spreadsheets do not run the building

A deal can look strong on paper and fail in the field. Rent assumptions miss the submarket, expenses ignore how the property really operates, and a renovation plan does not match what residents will pay. Advice has to come from operations, or it is guesswork with good formatting.

What we do

How we handle multifamily consulting

Due diligence that finds the problem

We read the rent roll, leases and ledgers against each other and walk the property with an operator's eye. We trace each figure to the document it came from, so nothing is taken on faith.

Operations reviews

We look at how a property is run today: staffing, leasing process, maintenance, vendor costs and reporting. You get a short list of changes ranked by impact.

NOI strategy

We find where income is leaking and where expenses are out of line. Then we say what to do about each, in what order and what it should be worth.

Value-add planning

Which units, which finishes, which amenities and in what sequence. We plan renovations around what rents in your submarket and what holds up under daily use.

Market positioning

We compare your property with its real competitors and set rents, mix and marketing accordingly. Local knowledge of Reno is the difference here.

Second opinions

Hold a manager's plan, a broker's pro forma or a lender's requirement up against someone who has done the work. We will say plainly when we disagree.

How it works

A clear plan from day one.

  1. 1

    Define the question

    We agree what you need decided, by when, and what you already have in hand.

  2. 2

    Gather the facts

    Documents, financials and a site visit. We trace numbers to their source and note what cannot be verified.

  3. 3

    Analyze and test

    We model the options, check assumptions against the submarket and run the downside as seriously as the upside.

  4. 4

    Recommend

    You get a clear recommendation with the reasoning, the risks and the first actions, not a deck of options.

  5. 5

    Stay for the follow-through

    If you want help carrying it out, we can manage the work, or hand it to your team with a plan.

Send us the property or the plan. We will tell you what we see.

Questions

Multifamily Consulting questions

What is multifamily consulting?
Multifamily consulting is paid advice on buying, running, repositioning or building apartment properties. Ours comes from active management, so it covers what happens after the numbers are approved.
Who hires you for multifamily consulting?
Owners with an underperforming property, investors weighing an acquisition and developers planning a project. We also advise operators who want a second opinion on their own plan.
Do you help with due diligence on a purchase?
Yes. We review rent rolls, leases, ledgers and the physical property, and flag gaps between what the seller says and what the documents show. Our due diligence checklist article lists what we look at.
Is the work limited to Reno?
Our market knowledge is deepest in Reno and northern Nevada. We advise on other markets too, and we tell you where our local edge ends.
Can you build the financial model as well?
Yes. Our financial modeling service is part of how we advise, and consulting clients can use it on its own or alongside the review.
Will you manage the property after we advise on it?
Only if you want us to. Some clients take the plan and run it themselves. Others hand us the property once the plan is set.

How to Increase NOI on a Multifamily Property

NOI sets what your building is worth, so every dollar you add to it is worth far more than a dollar. Here is where the real gains hide, on both the income and expense sides.
