FAQ
Owner Questions, Answered
- What does a real estate consulting engagement cover?
- We diagnose financial and operational performance, then build a plan you can act on. Typical scope includes NOI analysis, lender and audit reporting, capital improvement sequencing, and due-diligence readiness.
- How do you increase NOI on a small multifamily building?
- We start with revenue: correct pricing, reduced vacancy loss, and recovery of utility costs through RUBS where the leases allow it. Then we attack controllable expenses like insurance, turnover, and vendor contracts. Small buildings often gain the most from the expense side.
- Do you work with owners who already have a property manager?
- Yes. Consulting is often engaged as a second opinion while another firm manages day to day. We give you an objective read on performance and a list of specific corrections.
- How is consulting priced?
- Engagements are scoped to the question you are trying to answer, usually as a fixed fee project or a short retainer. We confirm the fee before any work begins.
