ASK MIKE MONDAYS: “Michael, can you break open the SPI playbook; what does it take to buy a property today?”

Michael gives you insight on what his team focuses on when buying apartments in today’s wacky market. Michael is not soliciting for capital; but just gives an example on what type of pricing discount some buyers are able to achieve. Certain sellers are chasing a higher price on some unproven buying groups. If you are a seller, do you want to always go with the highest price…or Are you counting on certainty to close? Most realistic sellers, in today’s market, need certainty to close.
