Commercial Real Estate Acquisitions
The city you choose can make or break a multifamily deal. Good markets can still produce bad outcomes if the submarket, rent roll, and financing stack are weak. At the same time, markets with mixed headlines can still close well when the basis is right and the business plan is grounded.
This page is written for buyers who want to close, not just browse. If you are evaluating an acquisition, recapitalization, or portfolio expansion, use this framework to shortlist cities and avoid weak underwriting assumptions.
If you want execution support, see What We Do and our transaction process on How It Works.
We rank cities using six filters: rental demand depth, supply pipeline pressure, debt liquidity, insurance and tax drag, sponsor exit visibility, and submarket-level operating stability. This avoids the usual trap of picking markets from social media lists that ignore financing reality.
| City | Why It Makes The Shortlist | Main Underwriting Watchout |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas-Fort Worth | Large transaction volume, deep lender coverage, wide buyer pool for exits, multiple submarket strategies. | Concessions and lease-up pressure in overbuilt pockets can flatten near-term NOI growth. |
| Houston | Scale market with broad renter demand and frequent value-add and workforce opportunities. | Insurance costs and flood exposure must be stress-tested at asset level. |
| Atlanta | Institutional liquidity, strong deal flow, many neighborhoods with distinct renter profiles. | Block-by-block variance in operating risk, taxes, and rent collection quality. |
| Miami | Global capital attention, strong renter velocity in prime nodes, strong exit visibility. | High carry costs and luxury pipeline competition in selected submarkets. |
| Tampa-St. Petersburg | Continues to attract investment interest with active sponsor participation. | Pipeline pressure can delay rent growth if the asset sits in heavy-delivery zones. |
| Nashville | High liquidity, broad institutional interest, and diverse multifamily buyer base. | Aggressive entry pricing can compress returns if rent assumptions are stretched. |
| Orlando | Strong population pull and consistent investor demand across many product types. | Tourism-linked income mix in some submarkets can affect collection resilience. |
| Phoenix | Long-term demand profile and strong trading market for stabilized assets. | Supply overhang still requires conservative rent and absorption assumptions. |
| Boston | High-income renter base and strong institutional appetite for stabilized product. | High basis and tighter yield spread require disciplined purchase price control. |
| Salt Lake City | Growth market with active multifamily sponsorship and lender interest. | Asset positioning matters, generic product in soft pockets can underperform. |
| Chicago | Attractive for yield-focused buyers in selected neighborhoods with durable renter demand. | Property tax and local operating rules must be fully priced into cash flow. |
| New York City | Very deep demand and one of the strongest liquidity pools for larger multifamily exits. | Regulatory and operating complexity can punish weak execution. |
Focus on scale markets where debt and equity are available across cycles, then buy at basis levels that support debt service on day one.
Prioritize markets with broad exit demand so you can refinance or sell without relying on one buyer type.
In supply-heavy markets, only proceed when purchase price fully reflects concessions, lease-up risk, and slower rent growth.
Add at least one market with steady renter demand and lower new-delivery pressure to balance portfolio volatility.
Before quoting terms, serious lenders and mezzanine providers typically ask for a full underwriting pack. Missing files slow execution and reduce appetite.
LOI or signed PSA, rent roll, trailing-12 and current YTD operating statements, and historical occupancy trend.
Track record, entity structure, guarantor strength, liquidity proof, and clear cap table.
Renovation scope, unit turn assumptions, leasing pace, concession plan, and reserve logic.
Target leverage, debt service coverage case, refinance or sale path, and downside scenario.
You can review mandate scope on What We Do and submit your opportunity at Submit Your Deal.
No. We support multi-city sourcing and financing strategy, but we underwrite each asset and submarket on its own merits.
Yes, where deal quality supports it. We can structure stacked solutions when sponsor equity needs to be preserved.
Yes, if the team includes experienced operators or advisors and the guarantor and liquidity profile meet lender standards.
No. Engagement is mandate-based with paid underwriting and execution scope. This keeps the process serious and time-bound.
Once engagement is signed and onboarding is complete, file review can begin immediately.
