Florida apartment offer worksheet

A shrinking pipeline is a reason to investigate recovery, not permission to erase concessions. Buyer insurance, the post-acquisition tax basis and current competition can consume the NOI improvement before a lower cap becomes plausible.

1. Reconcile recurring buyer NOI

Annual lineReport illustrationYour property / evidence
Price$3,000,000___________________
Scheduled rent$432,000___________________
Vacancy, concessions and collection loss (subtract once)$43,200___________________
Effective collected income$388,800___________________
Buyer taxes$72,000___________________
Binding insurance premium$48,000___________________
Management$19,440___________________
Recurring repairs$30,000___________________
Owner utilities$24,000___________________
Administration / recurring compliance$30,360___________________
Recurring expenses total$223,800___________________
NOI before debt and reserve$165,000___________________

All example amounts are hypothetical, not local quotes. Buyer NOI = collected income − recurring operating costs. Capital work and replacement reserves are separate. Cap = NOI ÷ price × 100.

3. Match the comp before choosing a cap

Sale address / date / source:

Actual geography, units, class and lease/regulation basis:

Price / reported NOI / trailing or forward basis:

Debt assumption, concessions, immediate work, missing inputs:

Matthews’ public summaries do not fully establish whether the cap is a sale-only average or broader market series. Keep that uncertainty with the figures. Colliers and Northmarq also do not disclose cap-reporting counts, weighting or a harmonized NOI convention in these summaries. Regional composites, point benchmarks and a range answer different questions; no ranking or statewide average is calculated.

4. Reconcile debt and invested cash

Loan, rate, amortization$1,650,000 / 6.5% / 30 years____________
Annual debt service$125,149____________
Annual replacement reserve below NOI$14,400____________
Down payment + closing + immediate work$1,350,000 + $90,000 + $150,000 = $1,590,000____________
Cash after debt and reserve$25,451____________
DSCR before / after reserve1.32× / 1.20×____________
Cash-on-cash before income tax1.60%____________

Confirm lender NOI/reserve convention. Cash-on-cash uses all invested cash above; capital reserves and repairs are not interchangeable. Property value does not guarantee refinance proceeds.

5. Test what would change the offer

Entry cap: _____% · Exit cap: _____% · Total cumulative NOI change: _____%

Value = annual NOI ÷ (cap ÷ 100). Buyer-cost correction: _____ per year. Revised NOI: _____ . Value at original cap: _____ . Wider-cap value: _____ .

NOI needed to preserve value = starting NOI × exit cap ÷ entry cap. Simple value excludes debt payoff, sale costs, taxes and interim cash flow.

Missing document / evidence that invalidates the thesis:

Maximum offer supported by buyer NOI, debt and liquidity:

Primary checks: Florida Senate — Statute 193.1555 (2026) · Florida DFS — Commercial property insurance · Florida DFS — Hurricane deductible. No photographed building or regional benchmark is a subject-property appraisal.
