Pricing a Portfolio Purchase

Discounts for bulk, mixed quality and the units you actually want

This book answers the question that decides whether a portfolio deal is worth doing: what is it actually worth to you, and what should you offer? It sets out the few numbers that decide a portfolio's value, shows where to find reliable local data for free rather than relying on the seller's figures, and teaches you to separate true income from the optimistic rent roll every seller presents. The cost chapter covers the costs that follow the purchase price, the ones a hurried buyer forgets, and the whole basket is then stress-tested against a bad month, voids and a rate rise, because across many units something always goes wrong. A complete worked example pulls the method together on one deal, and the final chapter gives you a deal calculator along with an honest account of what the numbers cannot tell you, which is where due diligence begins. Next in this series: “Portfolio Due Diligence”.
