In this episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast, we discuss why buying multifamily real estate based on actual numbers is often not realistic. I explain that while many investors claim to buy on actuals, it rarely happens in practice. I also shared some mathematical examples to support this argument and highlighted a hypothetical scenario of a vacant 20-unit multifamily property with zero income. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The meaning of “buying on actuals” in real estate world
• Why buying multifamily real estate based on actual numbers, such as income and expenses, is not a common practice
• Why buying on actuals is unlikely to result in successful deals
• Why you need to focus on “value-add” multifamily deals
• The importance of considering the future potential of multifamily properties when determining their purchase price
