Financing Apartment Buildings—Cash on Cash Return and Cap Rates

Financing apartment buildings is a lot easier that most people think. It’s all about the income that is generated from the property. Commercial buyers and brokers use Cash-on-Cash return and Cap Rates to analyze the deal.

Cash-on-cash return is looking at how much money you have to take out of your pocket to purchase the building, then how much you get back at the end of the year after all expenses and debt services have been paid. For example, your down payment and closing cost are $120,000 and at the end of the first year, your profits were $12,000. That is 10% cash on cash return, which is average for an apartment building. Anything less than 10 – 12% return is not a great deal. It means you are either overpaying for the property or didn’t get the best financing.

Cap rates, short for capitalization rates, is a formula that’s used in the commercial industry, to show how much income is being generated from the property had you paid all cash for the property. For example, you paid $1 Million cash for a property that generated $100,000 net operating income. This would be a 10% cap rate. Of course you’re not going to hand over $1 Million cash for a property; this is just to simplify the explanation of cap rate.

Market cap rates vary in different cities and with different classes of apartment buildings. There are 4 different classes, ranging from A to D, A being brand new to 10 or 15 years old, with all the amenities of new buildings including pools, fitness centers and gated communities. Class B are 10-15 years up to 20-25 years old with whatever amenities were most common in their time. Class C are about 20-25 years old up to 40 years old and in need of more maintenance. Class D are like class C, with the only difference being that they’re the ones you hear about in the news, for the wrong reasons.

With good market research and analyzing of the numbers, the lender will be more likely to finance your deal. Remember that the lender is your friend; he has done the same analysis of the property that you have done. He is putting his money on the line, so he will be likely to catch something if you should miss it. It’s a good idea to develop a relationship with a lender and appreciate his concern, even if he denies the loan based on his analysis; chances are, he’s saving you from making a costly mistake.

Boot Camp-Eight Weeks to Educate on Purchasing and Managing Apartment Buildings

Anthony Chara is an experienced investor in apartments who has also mentored hundreds of students. The eight week program begins with a three day boot camp where students are taught the full process of buying apartment buildings, from locating the property, quick analysis, and making an offer.

Many people spend so much time looking into every nook and cranny that they lose their focus and never get around to making an offer. The quick analysis takes about five minutes, then it’s time to make an offer. Since the analysis and offer are made quickly in order to tie the property up, it is important to have escape clauses built into the contract. This protects the investor in the event of an unforeseen detail in the property arises, making the deal less desirable.

Investors also need time to perform their due diligence to confirm the accuracy of the numbers received from the seller are accurate. If there are discrepancies, further negotiations on price and terms are needed to come to an agreement. The final step is to teach students how to close the deal.

This is a lot of learning packed into a three day event. Many come home and put their books away and get back to their same routine. They never take action and apply what they have learned in the boot camp. To avoid having students held back by fear or lack of confidence, there are eight weeks of follow up consisting of teleseminars and webinars to get through that mindset and give students an action plan to follow.

Can a Nine to Five Worker Handle Investing in Apartment Buildings?

You work 9am to 5pm, living paycheck to paycheck, and have very little or no money in the bank. You know there has to be a better way to live. Anthony Chara is a real estate investor and mentor. Read on for a story about one of Anthony Chara’s students.

George did not work 9 to 5; he worked 8am to 8pm, before coming home to his wife and two small children. His days and evenings were eaten up by work and family. Thanks to the internet, he was able to search for an apartment building, analyze the numbers and make an offer. He would often stay up until two or three in the morning. He would send his letter of intent to the seller’s agent in the middle of the night and call them on his way to work in the morning to request they take a look at it and get back to him. That is how he got started investing in apartment buildings.

So, the answer to the question is yes, you can do this part time because you are buying a business. You can have a management company handling the maintenance, collections, accounting and other tasks, while you continue to work your regular job until you are sure you are making enough passive income to give it up if you choose to.

Investing in Apartment Buildings-Market Cycle and 10/31 Exchange

The beauty of owning apartment buildings is the monthly cash flow. But, there comes a time when you have paid so much into the principle and reach a certain peak that you are no longer able to depreciate the building as much as you would like to. How do you determine when it is the right time to sell?

This is a good question for your accountant to answer, but on the average, it is recommended that you own the building for somewhere between five to ten years. Unlike buying a house, fixing it up, and flipping it to make $50,000, you are buying the apartment building for the cash flow. Look at the market cycles because each city has its own cycle regarding apartments, single family homes and the economy in that particular city. There comes a time when you will be receiving maximum rents, getting maximum depreciation and expenses should be under control. When you are no longer able to depreciate the property quickly enough to enjoy the tax benefits that is the time to do a 10/31 exchange, which is when you sell this first building, by a new building, and transfer the equity and start the depreciation cycle all over again for another five to ten years.

Real Estate, Investment, Financing Apartment Buying Purchasing Apartment Buildings

Purchasing Apartment Buildings with Seller Financing

There are several ways to finance the purchase of apartment buildings besides traditional financing and conventional mortgages. Seller financing can be a favorable option to both the seller and buyer.

One of the things investors do not think to ask for in purchasing an apartment building is seller financing. There are some sellers who are not open to it because they don’t understand it or they don’t know about how they can reduce their tax liability by accepting monthly payments rather than getting the full payoff up front. They do see a large amount up front, and by taking a carry-back, they continue to receive payments for the next few years. Another advantage is that they continue to see the cash flow from the building without the headache of management and maintenance.

The advantage to the buyer is they are able to purchase the building with less conventional financing. Perhaps they are held back by credit issues and are unable to qualify for the full amount required to buy the building.

Purchasing Apartment Buildings with No Money Down

Is it really possible to buy an apartment with no money down? Absolutely! Anthony Chara, a seasoned real estate investor with over 15 years experience, has mentored several hundred students. Here is his story of how some of his students purchased their apartment building.

First of all, lose the mind set, “I don’t have the money for a down payment.” If you continue to say that, it will be true; you’ll never be able to do anything because you don’t have the money. Realize that ‘no money down’ doesn’t necessarily mean you are buying without making a down payment. It simply means you are using other people’s money.

Two students found a 98 unit building in Louisiana; they each put in $1,500 ($3,000 between the two of them). The total down payment was $300,000! They were able to convince other people to invest in their venture for a return at a later date. They bought the building for $1.2 Million; within 12 – 18 months it should be worth close to $3 Million. They will share the cash flow and the equity with their money partners.

It’s all about mindset. Lose the attitude “it’s too much work,” or “I cannot afford to invest the money.” Look around you; people are doing it all the time. Make a plan and work the plan. Set a goal for yourself and take action now-see yourself as being financially independent and you will succeed.

Time Management Software is a must-have when Purchasing Apartment Buildings

Once you have your business plan down and a team of professionals to work with, it’s time to begin seeing what is on the market. Remember, it’s all about the numbers, total units, market rent, debt service, property taxes, insurance, utilities, management fees, repairs and maintenance and any other unforeseen costs that may arise. The analyzing can take literally days to accomplish.

Investors use two forms of special software to expedite the analyzing process quickly and accurately. One is called the Quick Analysis; it looks at the numbers of as many as 100 deals and generates an income and expense report within minutes. When one found that meets the needs of your team, do your letter of intent to make an offer. The goal is to get as many offers on the table as soon as possible.

The other piece of software is called an APOD, which stands for Annual Property Operating Data. It actually breaks down all the information into a detailed look at the numbers. Rather than just providing total income and expenses, it will show each individual expense amount. These numbers matched up to IREM reports, obtained from IREM.org, and compared to data obtained from property managers in that market to verify and confirm that you are within the right tolerances for each category.

Investing in apartments is a lucrative form of business. The average apartment building is going to appreciate about 5% a year on average over the long term.

Consider the Capitalization Rate when Investing in Apartment Buildings

The difference between determining value when purchasing apartment buildings and single family homes is valuation determined by the capitalization rate and valuation determined by comparables based on supply, demand and emotion, respectively. The decision making process in purchasing an apartment building is all about the numbers, there is no emotion involved.


An apartment complex is valued based on the income generated from the property. Look at the number of units and the average rent being generated by each unit. Subtract the expenses to come up with net operating income, also known as capitalization rate, or cap rate for short. Based on the cap rate for the type of building in your market, you come up with a value. You’re not buying the building because you like the exterior, or it has a nice, big yard. Your lender doesn’t care about any of this; he’s going to have his own set of guidelines for making the decision to finance the purchase. A lender’s decision will be based on the income generated from the property and the average cap rate for the market. The purchaser must show adequate income generation to cover any unforeseen crisis he may encounter, to assure the lender that the payments will be made timely and there will be minimal risk involved in financing your business venture.

Investing in Apartment Buildings versus Single Family Homes

Real estate investing, like any other business venture, has its pros and cons. There are reasons why some real estate investors do better than others; they take the time to fully analyze the deal to make better choices.


Some investors are not aware of the profitability of investing in apartment buildings versus single family homes. Apartment buildings can generate $1,000 to $5,000 a month in positive cash flow, where the profits on single family homes are as low as $100 to $150 per month.

Many investors will not take an interest in purchasing apartment buildings because of their lack of knowledge and experience. They don’t understand how investing in apartment buildings works and they feel they do not have enough money to make this large of an investment. A surprising fact is that it can be easier to purchase an apartment building than a single family home. When purchasing an apartment building, you are buying a business stream of income in which the cash flow makes the payments and pays overhead costs. A lender looks at this when analyzing the risk factor of his investment in providing the financing. So, even if you don’t have great credit, you can team up with other people and borrow-in essence, use other people’s money; use other people’s credit. So purchasing an apartment building is easier because the lender will see that the building stands on it own financially before they even take a look at the borrower.

What it really comes down to is they are limiting themselves with their own thought process, telling them selves “they can’t do it,” instead of changing their mind set and taking action to do what many others around them are doing.

Teamwork is the Key to Successful Investing in Apartment Buildings

Real estate has proven to be an effective means of reaching a desired lifestyle of comfort. The challenging decision to make is the particular area of real estate to go into. The bottom line is whatever area of real estate you enter the key to success is research, networking and coaching.


It has proven that buying an apartment building with a group of people is far more profitable than purchasing the property alone. Building a solid team is paramount especially on the first or second deal. With a team, the risk is being spread so in the event of financial crisis, the team as a whole will cover the challenge. With a team of multi-talented professionals to share the workload, each partner performs their given task, including bookkeeping, repairs and maintenance, collections, tenant relations and more. Each partner is of the same mindset; they share same goals, therefore, they are all motivated to do quality work as their contribution to the venture.

An important step for the team to consider is financing. The lender will want to see an appraisal on the building, and the business plan that shows income and expense flow. During this investigation period the lender will determine profitability of the investment to be sure the venture covers expenses including mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities and repairs. The lender wants to there is enough profit to cover any losses, including vacancies, non-paying tenants, eviction costs, and upcoming repairs and maintenance. The more the cushion that’s left over each month, the less stringent the lender will review the credit worthiness and reserves of the perspective buyers. Simply put, if the investment is not profitable, the lender will not approve the loan. One factor to remember is that when an investor buys an apartment building, they are buying a business. The building must stand on its own financially and create the money to support the business. A great team with a great business plan reduces the lender’s risk concern.

Larry Morris of Real Estate One Michigan offers great advice on other alternatives

Southfield, Michigan—Larry Morris of Real Estate One has noticed an increase in the number of people who are choosing to rent or lease a home rather than buy. “Because of the depressed real estate market and the job market in Michigan, many people are thinking of relocating,” says Morris. “We want to be sure everyone understands there are options other than renting, where one has some equitable interest in the home,” Larry explains.

Southfield, MI—Mark Maupin understands today’s declining real estate market. “I first became involved in real estate in 1981, when my wife presented an idea, giving me a choice to attend a ballroom dance class or a real estate class. Of course, I chose the real estate class,” says Mark. Since then, Mark has made real estate his full time career, purchasing and selling over 3,500 single family and multi family homes by 1984. Mark is able to view real estate from a unique perspective, allowing him to identify and grasp the potential to develop new and creative techniques for being successful in building a profitable business, even in today’s market.

Mark is inviting anyone interested in learning about a joint venture program to attend an intro event to learn the details. He will discuss how to find buyers before purchasing properties, exit strategies for selling the property at top dollar, taking over foreclosures without financial risk, wholesaling real estate, reverse mortgages, and more. He will introduce a new tool to buyers, the advertisement agreement, designed to secure interest without ownership. He will also be explaining the sandwich option, a new technique to the Michigan Market.

Attend this event and see current examples where money has been made with these tools and techniques on February 19, 2008, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. The event is free to attend and it will be at 24855 Southfield road, Southfield, MI 48075, on the west side of the street, just south of 10-Mile.
