Verify then trust.

When I evaluate deals from potential operating partners on behalf of my investment firm, I start by knowing as much as I can about the market, the deal, the property type, and the math behind it. That process lets me verify first, and slowly build trust with whoever I’m considering partnering with.

The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is one of those quick, “gut-check” metrics that everyone should understand, from large private equity shops to your 88-year-old grandmother who just decided to invest in private markets because, “Uncle Hank said real estate always goes up.”

The video below dives deep into the DSCR metric. It walks through frameworks and an investor checklist that help you understand the different dynamics that influence risk within multifamily investments. 

There’s already enough risk in private real estate; being educated can set you on a path to investing successfully.
