When Ron first called me, he was excited about investing in real estate investment opportunity in Pinhehurst, North Carolina but wasn’t sure where to start. He had heard that multi-family properties were a great way to build wealth, but he didn’t know how to find the right deal, secure financing, or make sure he was making a smart investment. That’s where I came in.
Step 1: Understanding Why Multi-Family Real Estate is a Smart Investment
I explained to Ron that multi-family properties offer several key benefits:
Steady Cash Flow – With multiple units, even if one tenant moves out, he’d still have rental income coming in.
Wealth Building – Over time, real estate appreciates, and multi-family units tend to offer stronger returns than single-family homes.
House Hacking Potential – Since Ron was open to living in one of the units, he could offset his mortgage by renting out the others.
He was sold on the idea, but now it was time to find the right property.
Step 2: Finding the Right Property
I pulled up listings that fit Ron’s budget and investment goals. Some properties looked great on the surface, but I helped him dig deeper—analyzing rental history, expenses, and potential for appreciation. We ran the numbers on each property, making sure the cap rate and cash flow made sense.
Step 3: Financing the Real Estate Investment
Since multi-family real estate properties are different from single-family homes, I connected Ron with a lender who specialized in investment properties. We discussed his options, including conventional loans, FHA (for owner-occupied properties), and commercial financing (which is needed if buying 5 units or more). He was able to get pre-approved quickly, which gave him a strong position when making offers.
Step 4: Negotiating the Best Deal
After touring several properties, Ron found the perfect duplex in a growing neighborhood in Pinehurst, NC. The numbers looked great, but the seller had multiple offers. Using my negotiation expertise, I helped Ron craft a competitive offer that still protected his interests. The seller accepted, and we moved forward with inspections and due diligence.
Step 5: Closing the Deal
I guided Ron through the final steps—ensuring the inspections checked out, reviewing lease agreements with the current tenants, and coordinating with his lender for a smooth closing. A few weeks later, Ron officially became a multi-family property owner!
