Syndicated Deal Analyzer
Video # 1: One of your Brokers Sends You a Deal, Now What — Chapter Overview (5 Minutes, 5 Seconds)
This short video gives you a tour of the Syndicated Deal Analyzer by walking you through the analysis of a deal from start to finish.
Video # 2. The 10-Minute Analysis (8:17)
In this video, I’ll show you how to answer the question “what is the MOST I can pay for this apartment building deal?” The Syndicated Deal Analyzer lets you do this quickly so that you’re not spending hours analyzing a deal. This lets you quickly get back to the broker or seller with something like “this deal doesn’t quite work for me, and here’s why”. As you’re looking for other apartment buildings to buy, you can’t afford to spend hours analyzing each deal. Even in this phase, the Syndicated Deal Analyzer incorporates different investor scenarios into the analysis.
Video # 3: Understanding Investor Returns and Structuring the Deal (13:00)
In this video we’ll talk about what kind of returns investors look for and different ways to structure the deal. We’ll then use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to look at the effect of the investor returns on our deal analysis. Quickly being able to incorporate your investors into the analysis is key when buying apartment buildings with private investors.
Video # 4: How to Pay Yourself (7:53)
Learn how you can pay yourself when you’re syndicating an apartment building deal. Use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to quickly see the effect of paying yourself at different points of the transaction on the financial model.
Video # 5: Sharpening Your Pencil – When and How to Overpay (12:59)
In this video, we’ll use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to look at different scenarios side by side. Look at the numbers as reported by the seller next to “your version of the truth”. For example, if the seller-reported expenses are only 30% of income, what would be the value of the building with more realistic expenses of 45%? This part of the analysis is critical when negotiating the maximum price you’re willing to pay.
Video # 6: Fine Tuning the P&L (8:19)
Learn how to fine tune the projections with your particular business plan. Perhaps the vacancies and expenses are high, or rents are below market. If you could raise rents by 20% and lower expenses by 15% over the next 3 years, what impact would that have on your projections and your investors’ returns? This part of the Syndicated Deal Analyzer lets you answer those questions quickly.
Video # 7: Estimating Due Diligence and Closing Costs (3:35)
The Syndicated Deal Analyzer quickly estimates your closing costs using rules of thumbs. As you progress through due diligence, you’re able to override some of these values so that your estimates become more and more accurate. Due diligence expenses and closing costs are often over-looked by real estate investors, and estimating them quickly and accurately are key for investing in apartment buildings.
Video # 8: Determining the Most Profitable Exit Strategy (8:39)
What produces the best return? A sale in Year 4 or 7? What if you refinance after the third year and hold for the next 7 years? I’ll show you how to model different scenarios so that you can determine which one produces the highest returns for you and your investors.
Video # 9: Reviewing the Deal & Creating the Investor Deal Package (6:17)
In this video, we put it all together! We’ll review the deal as we’ve analyzed it so far, including what we’re paying ourselves and what our investors’ projected returns are. When we’re all done, we’ll use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to produce a Deal Package we can give to our investors.
- Consider your time! You could probably build an analyzer yourself, but how long would that take you? Wouldn’t your time be better spent looking for deals than building an analyzer from scratch?
