What We Look For In A North Attleborough Apartment Building

Skyline buys 5+ unit apartment buildings in North Attleborough that either run well today or can run better with new management or renovation. We start with rents, occupancy and the condition of the building, and we price on what the property earns now.

Property taxes are a big line item for any Massachusetts apartment building. We underwrite the tax bill after purchase, not the seller's current bill, since a sale often resets the assessment. Massachusetts has no statewide rent control law, though local rules on notices, fees and deposits still apply. Insurance quotes in Massachusetts reflect winter storm and frozen-pipe claims, so we get a quote before we make an offer.

We use modest rent growth assumptions, realistic repair budgets and financing that can carry the property through a slower year.

Questions To Ask About An Apartment Syndication In North Attleborough

Before you invest in an apartment syndication in North Attleborough, with us or anyone else, the local data points to a few questions worth asking.

• What vacancy does the plan assume? Rental vacancy in North Attleborough is 0%. A plan that assumes much lower vacancy than the market should explain why.
• How was the property tax bill estimated? A sale often triggers a reassessment, so the bill after purchase can be well above what the seller pays today.
• What capital work is budgeted? The median home in North Attleborough was built in 1974, so roofs, plumbing and electrical systems deserve their own line items.
• How and when does capital come back? Ask what the plan is for a refinance or sale, and what happens if that takes longer than expected.
