Property analysis can help in negotiating the purchase price by providing a clear understanding of the property's current and potential value. It involves analyzing the property's current income and expenses, historical operating data, and potential future income and expenses. This information can be used to determine if the asking price is fair or if there is room for negotiation. For example, if the analysis shows that the property has a high potential for increased rent in the future, this could be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate a lower purchase price.

Question was asked on:

Build curiosity – in this stage, ask yourself these questions: Why does the property have such a high vacancy rate? Why is the owner choosing now to sell? Does the property have the potential to raise rent in the near future? Analyze the deal using the seller's numbers – in your spreadsheet, run a property analysis based on the numbers you have given in the Offering Memorandum. Most likely, you will have access to two sets of numbers: the current property income plus expenses and the proforma income plus expenses. Analyze the deal using historical operating data (a.k.a Annual Property Operating Data) – these financials include Property Rent Roll and Annual YTD Profit and Loss Statement. Analyze from a proforma perspective – in this stage, you look at the property as if you were already the owner of it. Begin by adding 12 months' worth of categories to your spreadsheet for projected income, expenses, capital expenditures and debt services.
