Check a multifamily deal with uploaded files
An investor had Claude Cowork review a 47-unit Kentucky property, test the numbers, and surface extra questions before making an offer.
- What they did
- Carl Mcknight sent Claude Cowork the property packet for a 47-unit Kentucky multifamily deal. The agent read through the documents, looked up crime, local rent levels, comparable properties, and vacancy, then rebuilt the expense picture and explored different bid and financing outcomes. It also brought up the utility-billing idea on its own.
- How it went
- The cleaned-up model showed a normalized NOI of $147,055, below the seller’s $161,691, mostly because management fees were absent. It also supported an offer around $1,475,000 and a conservative stabilized NOI of $221,857 if RUBS was not used. Plumbing and studio vacancy were still open issues.
- Tips
- Treat the first model as a screen, not a final answer. Make sure missing expenses, utility treatment, plumbing, and vacancy assumptions are checked before relying on the result.
Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
I’m looking at a [number]-unit [property type] in [city or neighborhood]. I’ll upload the deal packet, operating history, and rent schedule—please pull out the key facts, check crime, rents, nearby comparables, and vacancy, then build a simple underwriting view with adjusted expenses, financing assumptions, and a few price scenarios. If you see any possible upside such as rent growth, utility recovery, or other hidden value, flag it. Stop and ask me first before you do anything that would commit money, send a message, delete data, or submit a bid. Close with a brief summary of the assumptions, the biggest risks, and anything I should verify myself.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
